The short answer

Custom built-ins in Fort Lauderdale run $5,000–$25,000+ for homes, and we also build marine built-ins for yachts. Dockside homes get bars and wall units in teak and sealed hardwoods that handle salt air.

Fort Lauderdale's waterfront and yachting life means built-ins often need to perform near salt water — on a dock-side patio bar or inside a yacht.

We bring marine-grade materials and tolerances to both.

What Fort Lauderdale projects involve

  • Marine and yacht millwork built in teak and quartzite — a specialty few cabinet shops offer
  • Dockside and waterfront homes facing constant salt air and humidity
  • Fort Lauderdale (Broward County) runs its own permitting, separate from Palm Beach County

Permits: Cabinet refinishing, refacing, and painting with no plumbing, electrical, or structural change are generally permit-exempt in Boca Raton. Moving walls, relocating plumbing or electrical, or running power to new cabinetry requires a permit. Rules vary by city — Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, and West Palm Beach run their own building departments with their own fees.

Bars and entertaining spaces

A bar or man cave is where finish carpentry shows off. We build wet and dry bars with mixed materials — board and brick backs, custom red oak shelving, gloss cabinet fronts — designed as a focal point, not a unit pushed against a wall.

Closets, wall units, and storage

Built-ins earn their cost by using the full wall and ceiling height and matching the room's millwork. We build wall units, libraries, closet systems, laundry cabinetry, and garage storage to the room, finished to the same standard as the cabinetry in the rest of the home.
