Custom Millwork & Closets in Forest Hills
Kitchens, libraries, walk-in closets and Planika fireplaces for Forest Hills, from the brick-and-timber houses of Forest Hills Gardens to the prewar co-ops along Queens Boulevard, built in our Industry City shop.
Forest Hills homes
Built for Forest Hills houses and co-ops
Forest Hills combines early 20th-century planned streets of attached and detached houses with large prewar and postwar apartment buildings, so a project can mean driveway delivery one week and a service elevator the next.
Forest Hills Gardens
The planned enclave of Tudor-style houses and rowhouses with brick, stucco and half-timbering, where paneled rooms, leaded windows and original trim set the lines for new cabinetry.
Detached houses
Larger houses in the area north of Queens Boulevard, often renovated or rebuilt, with open kitchens, dressing rooms and finished basements that suit full-height storage.
Prewar & postwar co-ops
Apartment buildings along Queens Boulevard, Yellowstone Boulevard and the side streets, where alteration agreements, service elevators and set work hours shape the schedule.
Austin Street & offices
Shops, studios and professional offices around Austin Street and Queens Boulevard that need shelving, display walls and reception-area millwork built to the fit-out drawings.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do you work in Forest Hills co-ops?
Yes. We build to the drawings your building approves and plan delivery around its service elevator, loading rules and permitted work hours.
Can you build for houses in Forest Hills Gardens?
Yes. Cabinetry and built-ins are made to site measurements so they can follow original paneling, trim and rooms that are not perfectly square. Check any community or building rules that apply to your house before work starts.
How is work delivered from Brooklyn to Forest Hills?
Pieces are built in our Industry City shop and brought by truck on a scheduled day. Installation is coordinated with your contractor or installation team.
Which services suit a Forest Hills apartment?
Aluminum & glass closets and cabinet doors add storage without heavy construction, custom kitchen cabinetry fits older layouts, and a Planika fireplace needs no chimney or gas line.
