Expert Tips for Custom Millwork Projects

Always measure twice before ordering custom millwork. Accurate measurements are the single most important factor in ensuring a perfect fit and avoiding costly returns or modifications.
Consider the wood species carefully based on where the millwork will be installed. Exterior applications require rot-resistant species like Spanish Cedar, Cypress, or Teak, while interior projects offer more flexibility in species selection.
If you are unsure about a wood species or style, contact Estate Millwork at 412.641.0177. Our team can recommend options based on your project requirements, climate, and design preferences.
For painted millwork, Poplar is the best value choice because it takes paint smoothly and machines cleanly. Reserve premium species like Walnut and Cherry for stained or clear-coat applications where the natural grain will be visible.
