Matte white wainscoting in a living room
Millwork

Millwork that elevates every room

Wainscoting, built-in shelving, wall paneling, and custom woodwork — finished with the craftsmanship they deserve.

The detail that sets an ordinary room apart

Millwork — wainscoting, built-ins, and custom wall treatments — adds character to a room, but it demands meticulous prep: every corner, molding, and panel must be sanded and primed individually. La Touche & Co. treats every piece of millwork like fine woodworking, not like a wall.

We work equally well on existing millwork that needs refreshing and on brand-new installations fresh from a cabinetmaker or contractor, which need full treatment before the first finish coat.

The result: crisp edges, even tone in every corner, and a finish that showcases the carpentry rather than hiding it.
