Read the drawings.
Then make them true.

Amusic hall has to sound right. A church roof has to keep the rain out for another generation. None of those come with a standard detail. They come with an architect, an engineer, and a builder who can make what is on the page. Halls. Churches. Cathedral ceilings.

Music studios are their own subject, and they have their own page.

Questions.

Do I need an architect, engineer or designer?

Are you getting the project permitted? We recommend doing things the right way rather than taking shortcuts, and larger projects often require these professionals. Outside of custom woodwork we don't do CAD or design work, but we're glad to work alongside your designer or architect.

Do you do free estimates?

It depends on the project. The first meet-up is always free. If it's a larger project (over $20k) with a lot of elements, we use a pre-construction contract to cover the time spent exploring your options properly.

Where do you work?

We're based in North Portland, Oregon, and work across the Portland metro. We're also licensed in Washington (L&I KENTOWL766Q1) for projects in Clark County.
