High-End Home Finishes

A beautiful and luxurious entry to help illustrate high end home finishes.

Having high-end finishes in your home signifies an elevated standard of living, showcasing a commitment to quality, aesthetics, and comfort. It means that you have invested in top-tier materials, craftsmanship, and design to create an environment that exudes sophistication and luxury.

High-end home finishes are often found in upscale homes, custom residences, or properties that prioritize both functionality and aesthetics. This is a huge investment for you, and in a home with high-end finishes, you expect to enjoy the finest details, from intricately crafted custom millwork and crown moldings to sumptuous natural materials such as marble, granite, and hardwood.

These materials and design elements are not only visually appealing but also durable, ensuring long-term value and timeless beauty. High-end finishes extend beyond aesthetics, with gourmet kitchen functionality, spa-like bathrooms, and automated smart home systems that are equal parts convenience and security.

Instead of using mass-produced cabinetry, molding, trim, or shelving, custom millwork uses top-quality materials and old-world techniques that bring in points of interest throughout the home. These one-of-a-kind creations–such as custom shelving for huge 4K TVs or even wet bars–elevate the beauty of the home and add functionality to spaces throughout.

Natural Stone

Marble, onyx, Quartzite and soapstone are luxurious choices for countertops, bringing long-term durability to your kitchen and bathrooms. Whether it’s a sleek kitchen island, ornate backsplash, or custom bathroom vanity, natural stone adds a level of gravitas to any room. You can also extend the look to the flooring and even accent walls to bring a level of continuity to the home.

Hardwood Flooring

Laminate flooring won’t cut it if you truly want to make your home a showcase. High-quality, exotic hardwoods like walnut, mahogany, or oak offer timeless beauty and durability throughout the home and simply won’t be found in many other homes.

Custom Lighting

Bespoke lighting fixtures, chandeliers, and smart lighting systems can create ambiance and serve as focal points in each room. Programmable LED lights are perfect for backlighting art, shelving, kitchen cabinets, and other areas of the home. Whether you’re entertaining 50 guests, or having a quiet dinner for two, custom lighting will set the mood for any occasion.
