Custom Accents & Specialty
The one-off work that makes a house specific: wood mantels, range hoods, columns and column wraps, arches, ceiling detail, and the pieces that aren't on any order form. This is the work we like most, because it's the part that takes figuring out on site instead of pulling a number off a plan.

What We Handle
The scope, spelled out.
Here’s what falls under custom accents on a typical job. Anything outside it gets called out in the bid.

- Wood range hoods and hood wraps
- Columns, column wraps, and pilasters
- Arches, niches, and curved trim
- Feature walls and ceiling detail
- Floating shelves and bracket work
- Exterior porch and entry detailing
- Problem-solving the pieces that have no standard
In Detail
What goes into custom accents.
The custom accent is usually the piece a client ends up showing off, and it's the one with no standard to price or build from. We take the one-offs on and work them out in the field. The work we like most:
Mantels & fireplace surrounds
Beam mantels, shelf-on-corbel mantels, and full wood surrounds framing the firebox. (See fireplace surround & mantel ideas.)
Wood range hoods
Paint- or stain-grade wood range hoods and hood wraps, scaled to the kitchen and built around the venting. (See wood range hood ideas.)
Columns, arches & curved trim
Column wraps and pilasters, arched openings, and radius trim, the specialty cuts where we bend, kerf, or laminate stock to follow a curve.
Floating shelves & one-offs
Floating shelves, bracket work, niches, and the pieces that have no standard and no order form.
Why it matters to your schedule
The custom accent is usually the piece a client ends up showing people, and there's no order form or standard detail to build it from. We work it out on site, so your project gets the one piece that makes it specific instead of a hole where a nice detail could have gone.
