Built-Ins in Murfreesboro, TN
Built-ins in Murfreesboro, TN are cut to fit one room: alcove bookcases, a window seat, mudroom lockers, a fireplace wall. Built to the drawing we measure, then fitted and trimmed so the room looks like it came that way.
- Your existing baseboard and casing profiles matched
- Nothing is built until you have approved the drawing

We build built-ins cut to fit your walls, floors and trim
A bookcase from a shop is a box on a floor. A built-in is cut to the wall it goes on — scribed to a chimney breast that is not square, packed to a floor that is not level, and trimmed into the baseboard so there is no gap behind it and no line where it stops.
No fee, no obligation.
Matching the trim you already have is what makes it look original
Two built-ins of identical construction can read completely differently in the same room, and what separates them is almost never the cabinetry.
The baseboard and casing profiles get matched, not butted
New work that stops beside your existing baseboard instead of running into it is the clearest sign something was added. The profiles in your rooms are matched so the trim carries through, around the new cabinetry and back out the other side.
The paint is matched to your walls and your woodwork, and those are rarely the same white
Trim in a house from the 2000s has usually been repainted at least once, and it is almost never the same white as the walls beside it. Both get matched off the wall itself rather than off a fan deck.
The cabinets are built square in the shop, then cut to fit your walls on site
Walls are not plumb, alcoves are not the same width top and bottom, and a floor is rarely level across ten feet. On site the casework is packed and scribed to what is actually there, which is the step a fixed-size unit has no way of doing.
What is not included, and what becomes a change order
We quote the cabinetry, the fitting, the trim and the finish. Electrical outlets inside a unit, moving a radiator, flooring and any structural change are separate trades, and the quote says so rather than leaving you to find out on fit day.
If the run you want is kitchen cabinetry rather than a fitted unit, that is custom cabinets. If you already have built-ins and only the fronts are dated, cabinet refacing or cabinet painting is far cheaper — every route priced against every other is on cabinet refacing cost in Murfreesboro.
The spec goes on the quote before you decide anything.
Alcoves, mudrooms and home offices take the same cabinet work
What changes room to room is the proportion of doors and drawers to open shelf, which is also what moves the price.
Alcove bookcases and a fireplace wall
The two alcoves either side of a chimney breast are the most common built-in there is, and the least likely to be square. Shelves, or shelves over closed base cabinets, with the mantel wall between them so the whole run reads as one piece.
Mudroom lockers and a drop zone by the door
A bench, hooks, a cubby per person and a closed cabinet above. It is the built-in that gets used hardest, so it is the one where the bench top and the seat frame are worth building heavier than they look.
In a garage-entry house this usually goes on the wall between the door and the laundry, which is the run that has to be measured around the door swing.
A home office along one wall, and a window seat
A desk run with cabinets over it turns a corner of a room into an office without taking the room away from the house. A window seat does the same, with storage under the lid and a cushion on top.
The visit tells you which of these fits the space you have.
Built-ins in Murfreesboro are priced by the foot from the measured drawing
What moves the price: how long the run is, how much of it is doors and drawers rather than open shelf, what the fronts are made of, whether it is sprayed or painted in place, and how far out of square the walls turn out to be.
Most built-in work lands inside the $3,000 to $25,000 band that requires a Tennessee Home Improvement license in Rutherford County, one of only nine counties in the state that require one. What a quote in that band has to put in writing is on the contract checklist.
Working with us, in four steps
Four steps. You can stop after the second one and it has cost you nothing.
We measure the space and ask what has to go in it
Someone comes out, measures the opening at the top and at the bottom, checks how square the walls are and how level the floor is, and asks what the unit actually has to hold — which is what decides how the shelves and the fixings are built.
You get the price in writing
One fixed price, with the run listed foot by foot, what the fronts are made of, the trim and the finish included, and what is not.
Built off site, then cut to fit and trimmed into your room
The casework is made to the measured drawing while your room stays a room. It is delivered, packed and scribed to the walls and the floor, and then the trim is run into your existing baseboard and casing.
Painted to match, and the room cleared the same day
The finish is matched to the woodwork already in the room rather than to a fan deck, doors and drawers are aligned, and the room is cleared at the end of each day rather than at the end of the job.
Most of the build happens off site · your rooms stay usable
Step one costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
