They found storage in our 1920s kitchen that three other quotes said was impossible. The crown moulding meets the ceiling like it grew there.

02 Project story
The Sydenham Street library
A 1911 house with not one square corner, and a client with four hundred linear feet of books. We panelled the room in rift-cut white oak, hid the HVAC return behind a pilaster, and scribed every shelf to walls that move a little every winter.
Every person who visits asks who built this room. It's the best money we've spent on this house in twenty years.— The owners, Sydenham Street

Quoted in a week, installed on the day they promised, and the painted finish is better than our furniture. We've sent two neighbours already.
The walnut library is the room people walk into and go quiet. Worth every dollar and every week of the wait.

The shop
Four benches. One standard.
Harlow & Oak is a four-person shop on Forge Street, Dundas. No sales floor, no subcontracted installs — the person who quotes your project builds it, and the person who builds it screws it to the wall. That's why we only take on eighteen projects a year.
