Built-ins & cabinets.
Barkley Carpentry builds home office desks, media walls, bookcases, mudrooms and bespoke cabinetry by hand in Pilot Point, Texas, built for the room rather than ordered in, and refinishes the pieces worth keeping. Barkley measures the space in Pilot Point and builds cabinetry for homes across Prosper, Celina and Aubrey.
The craft
Built for the room, not the box store.
A production cabinet comes in a fixed size and you build the room around it. Barkley Carpentry works the other way, measuring the actual space and building the cabinetry to fit the wall and the ceiling. Every built-in Barkley fits in Pilot Point is made to the room, so the awkward corners earn their keep.

Measure the space
To the wall, the ceiling, and the way the room is actually used.

Build the cabinetry
Carcass, doors, and drawers worked to suit the run.
C / install
Install and finish
Fitted level and finished so it reads as part of the house.
Examples

Common questions
About built-ins.
Are your cabinets custom, or flat-pack?
Custom. Each run is built for the room it lives in, sized to the wall, the ceiling, and the way the space is used, rather than ordered in a fixed size.
Can you build into an awkward space?
Yes. Sloped ceilings, odd corners, and tight alcoves are where built-in work earns its keep, because the piece is made to the space instead of forced to fit.
