How we approach it

Hospitality work runs on a hard opening date, alongside a room full of other trades. We draw the bar or banquette early, coordinate it with the equipment plan, plumbing and seating layout, and build in our shop while the site is still under construction, so the install is quick.

Finishes are chosen to take abuse: sealed and epoxy-coated counters, oiled and treated charred wood, restaurant-safe sink bases. And when a room needs a centerpiece nobody has built before, we work out how to make it.

Typically from $10,000

Commercial projects typically start at $10,000, and we consider selected smaller scopes. Our recent bar and banquette packages came to about $18,000 (Kurrypinch) and $27,000 (Azur). Send the drawings, equipment plan and finish information so we can price the scope.

Questions we get about restaurant and bar millwork

How much does a custom restaurant bar cost in Los Angeles?

Commercial projects typically start at $10,000, and we consider selected smaller scopes. We price each bar from drawings: length, materials, finish, lighting and how much of an existing bar base can be reused all move the number. Our recent bar and banquette packages came to about $18,000 and $27,000.

Can you hit an opening date?

Yes, if we're brought in early enough. The pieces are built in our shop while your site is being finished, so installation fits inside the construction schedule.

Do you do the upholstery?

No. We build the banquette frames and seat bases and coordinate with your upholsterer. Stone, glass, metal, plumbing and bar equipment are also by others.

Do you work with the designer or the contractor?

Either, and usually both. Shop drawings go to the designer for approval; schedule, billing and site coordination run through the general contractor.
