Not everything that looks like millwork actually is. A lot of Toronto homeowners assume they’re getting real custom millwork and end up with MDF-wrapped flat-pack pieces installed to look custom. There’s a big difference, and it shows up within a few years.
What Custom Millwork Actually Means
Real custom millwork is built from scratch for your specific space. As a millwork company in Toronto, All Trim Carpentry designs every element to your room’s exact proportions.
That means the wall paneling fits your ceiling height. The built-in shelving wraps your alcove perfectly. Nothing looks like it was designed for someone else’s house.
