Custom Millwork & Cabinetry in Long Island City

Long Island City has become one of New York’s busiest areas for new residential construction, with towers rising beside converted industrial buildings. We build kitchens, closets, wall displays and glass cabinet doors for both, in our Industry City shop.

Rental and condominium towers with rules for contractors, insurance certificates and elevator bookings.

Former warehouses and factories now used as offices, studios and creative workspaces.
