At Shivers Custom Woodwork, we’re dedicated to creating high-quality, custom designs that elevate your space. To ensure every client gets the exceptional craftsmanship and service they deserve, we require a 90-day minimum timeline for all projects. We are a small business, living the American dream, bringing back real wood handmade crafts.
Here’s why this timeline is crucial and what goes into each step:
Step 1: Initial Consultation and Design
- After your inquiry and deposit, we schedule a design consultation to understand your vision, preferences, and needs. This is done 30 days after your 50% retainer is paid.
- Together, we finalize:
- Paint and Stain
- Picking countertops and door styles
- Project details and timeline
- Why it takes time: Every project is unique. We dedicate this phase to planning and perfecting your design before moving forward to prevent mistakes.
Step 2: Material Procurement an Preparation
- Once the design consult is completed, we order premium materials tailored to your specifications.
- Materials are inspected and prepared to ensure they meet our high standards.
- Why it takes time: High-quality, custom materials often require special ordering. This ensures your project is built to last.
Step 3: Build Phase
- Our skilled craftsmen meticulously build your piece, incorporating custom features and finishes to match your vision.
- Why it takes time: Craftsmanship is an art. Precision, attention to detail, and time are essential to deliver your expected quality. Everything we do is done by hand.
Step 4: Final Inspection and Installation Scheduling
- After the build, your painted or stained project. We thoroughly inspect to ensure quality and durability.
- We then schedule installation, working around your availability to provide a seamless experience.
- Why it takes time: We prioritize perfection. No project leaves our workshop until it meets our exacting standards.
-
Why We Have a 90-Day Minimum
- Scheduled Clients: We carefully manage a queue of already scheduled projects. Each client deserves undivided attention, and we maintain this standard by planning timelines carefully.
- Quality Matters: The 90-day timeline allows us to focus on superior craftsmanship and detail without cutting corners.
