At Alliance Cabinets & Millwork, we pride ourselves on being able to provide customers with fine, custom-crafted millwork to look beautiful in any home. However, not everyone knows what millwork is. In order for you to understand why we’re the best millworkers for the job, you’ve got to understand what it is that we’re doing.
Materials
Traditionally, millwork refers to any woodmill-produced building construction, and woodmill-produced materials are generally what we offer at Alliance.Over time, however, as cheaper materials have become available, millwork can also refer to building construction made with synthetics, plastics, and wood-adhesive composites.Even these synthetics, though, are usually combined with some form of wood in order to be considered millwork.
What Is It Used For?
In renovating your home, you may be looking for a lot of changes, and those changes are often matters of millwork.Millwork is typically used for things like crown molding, baseboard molding, doors, window frames, and wood panelling.With so many things covered under the blanket of millwork, you can trust Alliance to not only complete one part of your home’s renovation, but many.
Finishes
Because millwork is typically made from woodmill products, it usually comes with a finish.These finishes come in a variety of colors and shades, and with so much to choose from it can get a little overwhelming.Our experienced contractors now only know what they’re doing with cabinets and home renovations, but they know what colors work together as well.A recent trend in millwork finishing in homes has been to have varying colors, though it’s more common to keep your wood finish color consistent throughout your house.
Now that you may have a better idea of what millwork is, you can understand why Alliance is the best woodworking company for your home renovation.With a wealth of knowledge and possibilities, we can give you the home you’ve always wanted.
Renovating your kitchen has become a fairly common home practice, and unfortunately, it seems as though designs are getting less and less inspired.In an attempt to stay fashionable and modern, people are staying boring, and at Alliance Millwork and Cabinets, we don’t think boring cuts it.Your kitchen should be a room in your house that you’re proud to say that you designed, and being original is a huge part of that.Below, we want to make some suggestions as to how you can make your kitchen feel like something out of a catalogue.
Breakfast Nook
Having a more informal place to eat than the dining room table is something that a lot of homeowner’s love.Having a small booth with a café table in your kitchen is a luxury that is certainly worth exploring.Perfect for a quick breakfast, an intimate dinner, or even just extra counter space, a booth affords you both utility and design opportunity.You can experiment with the benches themselves (perhaps a dark, sturdy wood like oak), the back cushions (whose coverings you can get in virtually any color or fabric design), and even the table when completing the area.We recommend putting your café in a corner of your kitchen to allow for custom cabinetry to be installed above the nook area.
Tiny Kitchen
Some kids love to cook, and it’s a great skill to have.Unfortunately, most kitchens just aren’t built to encourage their culinary genius.The more vertically challenged among them can barely reach above countertops, let alone sauté on a stove.If you’d like to encourage your child to become the chef you know they can be, consider building a smaller, more pared down version of your own kitchen that is more suitable to their needs.Building an area of low countertops with tiny custom cabinets to house children’s sized dish ware, cook ware, and utensils is a whimsical, original way to show your child that you support their creativity.And if originality is your goal in kitchen design, this is certainly something you won’t see in very many kitchens.A project like a tiny kitchen can really highlight the value of using a custom cabinetry company, as we not only have the capability to redo your kitchen, but we can do it in exactly the style, and size, you want it.
For some people, their kitchen is their least utilized room in the house.Maybe they’re not big on cooking or maybe they just prefer to order in, but regardless of your kitchen situation, it should be a room that you’re proud of.Allow yourself to be inspired in renovating your kitchen and do things that are unconventional.Make your kitchen renovation dreams a reality with Alliance Millwork and Cabinets.
While the funnest home renovations are those that you are doing just to make your home more comfortable, it is also impossible to ignore the need for home renovations to update homes that have been neglected for too long.
Custom Cabinets
If you have an older home, then your cabinets may be starting to show some major signs of wear or simply just be hard to use. Cabinets that were made cheaply can begin to sag or bow if they have ever gotten wet or damp and had anything heavy placed on them. Dings and dents from years of use can also take a toll. Custom cabinets can make your kitchen into a place you don’t mind being.
Baseboards and Crown Molding
The trim and baseboards in a home can start to look rough or even have chips in them. Custom baseboards from Alliance Woodworking can be milled to match the style of your home. Essentially you preserve your home’s authenticity while making your walls look great once more.
Usable Closets
While a rod to hang clothing on a few shelves is nice to have, there is also a whole world out there of custom closets. Even a smaller closet may have more potential than you think if it is properly organized. This level of organization is only possible through shelving and cabinets that are made to fit the space.
Ditch The Plastic Storage Totes
If you are like a lot of people than you have probably resorted to plastic storage bins at some point. These bins can be cumbersome in some spaces and do not hold up well with frequent and extended use. Buying plastic storage bins over time can be more expensive than if you simply have your closet redesigned by our team of craftsmen.

It’s not where you sleep. It’s where you watch television or do the majority of the entertaining when guests are over. But there is something about a kitchen that brings a home together and sets it apart from the rest. Maybe it’s the meals that are shared around the kitchen table, or the family time that takes place cooking dinner on a Saturday night.
Getting kitchen cabinets installed can be one of the more exciting parts about constructing or renovating a kitchen and home. As kitchen cabinets are installed and ready for use, they quickly become one of the staples of a great-looking kitchen. The exciting part about being in the market for some new cabinets is that they are long-lasting, especially when they are taken care of.
That is why it’s so important to properly clean and maintain the cleanliness of kitchen cabinets. The kitchen can be one of the dirtiest spaces in an entire home because of all that takes place there, and no one wants to invest in cabinets, just to watch them quickly deteriorate because they aren’t taken care of. The best way to keep kitchen cabinets looking great is not letting the grease and stains build up over time, but to stay on top of it.
