Millwork, that is, hardwood that is incorporated into the architecture of a home or business, has been used in homes for centuries. Use of millwork is an age-old architectural tradition that has helped add beauty to living rooms, dining rooms, formal areas, public spaces, lobbies, offices and more. If you're a property owner seeking ways to distinguish your home or building from the other properties in your area, use of millwork in your upcoming remodel is a very smart choice.
