How it works

One team from the first site visit to the final adjustment. Nothing is outsourced.

  1. Tape measure, laser level and sketches on a sawhorse in a room prepared for new millwork 01

    Site visit and estimate

    We visit your space, take measurements and listen. Scope, budget and timeline are confirmed up front, so there are no surprises later.

  2. Shop drawings of kitchen cabinet elevations with white oak and walnut veneer samples 02

    Design and shop drawings

    We draw every elevation and detail for your approval. Dimensions, materials and hardware are locked in before we cut a single board.

  3. White oak cabinet boxes and drawer fronts on a workbench in a millwork shop 03

    Fabrication

    Our own craftsmen build everything in our Little Falls shop, with furniture-grade joinery, premium hardwoods and European hardware.

  4. Newly installed custom kitchen on the final day of installation 04

    Installation

    Our installers protect your home, coordinate with other trades and stay until every door closes perfectly.

“Working with épure was unlike any trade relationship I’ve had. Their shop drawings were precise, fabrication flawless — they solved problems before we knew they existed. My clients were blown away.”

Frequently asked questions

New York City

Do you build custom kitchens and millwork in New York City?

Yes. We regularly work in co-ops, condos, lofts and townhouses across Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. Everything is built in our shop in Little Falls, New Jersey, then delivered and installed by our own crew.

Can you work with my co-op or condo board?

Yes. Boards usually ask for an alteration agreement, certificates of insurance, contractor approval and drawings. We provide the shop drawings, insurance certificates and contractor package they require, so the submission is complete the first time.

How do you handle freight elevators, work hours and building rules?

We coordinate with building management from the design phase. Freight elevator access, permitted work hours and approval requirements vary from building to building, so we scope them before we quote the installation.

Which NYC neighborhoods do you work in?

In Manhattan, we work on the Upper East Side and Upper West Side, in Carnegie Hill, Tribeca, SoHo, the West Village, Flatiron and the Financial District. In Brooklyn: Brooklyn Heights, Park Slope, Cobble Hill and Williamsburg. In Queens: Astoria and Forest Hills.

Do you take on union commercial projects in NYC?

Yes. Union-compliant installation is available for NYC and New Jersey commercial projects. Tell us your requirements up front and we will structure the project to match.

New Jersey and the tri-state area

Where can I get custom kitchen cabinets in Northern New Jersey?

épure builds custom kitchen cabinets in our shop at 28 Brookside Ave in Little Falls, New Jersey, and designs and installs them across Bergen, Passaic, Essex, Morris and Hudson counties.

Do you install custom walk-in closets in Bergen County?

Yes. We design, build and install walk-in closets throughout Bergen County, including Alpine, Ridgewood, Tenafly, Franklin Lakes, Saddle River and the surrounding towns.

New York City (Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens), Northern New Jersey (Bergen, Passaic, Essex, Morris and Hudson counties), Westchester County, Long Island and Fairfield County, Connecticut. For custom furniture we can arrange white-glove delivery and installation anywhere in the Northeast.

Are you licensed and insured?

épure is a licensed New Jersey contractor. For New York buildings and co-op boards, we provide the certificates of insurance and contractor documents they ask for.

Cost, timing and process

How much do custom kitchen cabinets cost in NYC and New Jersey?

Custom kitchen cabinetry from épure typically ranges from $35,000 to $120,000+, depending on size, materials and finishes. You get a detailed, itemized estimate before any work begins, and in NYC it includes the building logistics, such as freight elevator scheduling and permitted work hours.

How long does a custom kitchen take?

Most kitchens take 10 to 16 weeks from signed contract to installation, depending on complexity and material lead times. Commercial projects typically take 8 to 14 weeks from signed drawings. You get a detailed schedule before work begins.

What does the process look like?

It starts with a conversation and a site visit, where we measure the space. You then receive a detailed estimate. Once it is approved, we produce shop drawings for your sign-off before anything is cut, build everything in our own shop and install it ourselves.

Is the first consultation free?

Yes. The first consultation is complimentary for all new projects, whether you are a homeowner, a designer or a contractor.

Do you work with interior designers, architects and contractors?

Absolutely. We regularly collaborate with interior designers, architects and general contractors. We provide shop drawings and coordinate with every trade on the job.

Materials and what we build

Is everything built in your own shop?

Yes. Every piece is built in our Little Falls shop, with no outsourcing: CNC precision for the parts, hand-finishing for everything you see and touch.

What woods and finishes do you work with?

American walnut, white oak, hard maple, bog oak, and painted MDF or maple, and we can work with customer-supplied or specialty veneers. Finishes include Rubio Monocoat hardwax oil, custom lacquers and hand-applied stains.

Can you hide the refrigerator and dishwasher behind cabinet panels?

Yes. We integrate panel-ready appliances from brands such as Sub-Zero, Miele and Bosch, and coordinate them with your appliance specs from day one.

Can you match existing cabinetry or historic moldings?

Yes. We match species, stain and door profile to existing millwork so everything reads as one, and we reproduce period molding profiles with custom-ground cutters.

Do you build more than kitchens?

Yes. We also build walk-in closets, wall paneling and built-ins, bathroom vanities, custom furniture and commercial millwork for restaurants, retail, offices and hospitality.
