Built In Durham

Our closet designs are now VIRTUAL! This is an actual screen recording on an iPhone; of a closet design for a current client. We work with our clients to get their space just right, and then send a link to them for review. Move your phone up, down, left, right to immerse yourself into the space, and see your new closet come to life. Durham Closets by Built In Durham. Sweet!

Hang in there...it gets better...much better. Scroll through the pics ;-) A very tricky space indeed. Just need to add the crown moulding to finish it off.

Labour of Love .

This awesome client made us promise him, that everything would be ready for Football Sunday. We did one better and wrapped everything up on the Saturday - for the WIN ;-) Scroll through the pics to see the transformation! This stone is one of our favourites...and their choice of colour for the mantle was perfect - and yes, we installed all of the new audio and visual equipment. Are YOU next!?

Patience...good things come...

Before & After Laundry Room LOVE! Already looking forward to the next project with this wonderful client! So....what does YOUR Laundry Room look like??

Some FRIDAY LOVE from our valued clients - another Google 5 Star Review. We will always do our very best, to earn your trust, praise and referrals. our customers!

Larger than LARGE! This gorgeous window seat (errr....uhm...BED) required as much effort up front during the design and planning phases, as it did in the execution, installation and finish. We couldn't be happier with the final outcome. The mattress/cushion(s), books and decorations will be in their new homes...later today.

It's ALL in the PLANNING. Scroll through the 4 pictures here to see the before and after, and the careful planning in our builds to ensure we end up with FULL HEIGHT stone around countertops, floating shelves and mantles. Depending on the stone selected, we build our shelves to intersect with other elements, to virtually eliminate SLIVERS of stone which HURT THE EYES!

Hot off the GOOGLE REVIEWS: Jim and his team are outstanding. Super professional. We were kept in the loop when designing the built ins, and provided updates regarding the time frame.

ABSOLUTELY HAPPY with our results and would recommend Built In Durham over everyone. Thank you Jim and your team at Built In Durham! - Kyle, Oshawa, ON

Keeping it CLASSY...and sliding barn doors don't need to be rustic, dark or even 'barn-like' ;-)

We hope you don't mind....but we are likely to be posting a LOT of closet content and builds, over the foreseeable future

Just gonna leave this here for you...have an awesome SAFE long weekend friends!

We know it won't always look photo-ready, but today it does. ;-)

Your Valued Feedback is appreciated. Hey Facebook Friends. Legit-Question. In this case re: closet design renderings, we have a client with a generous space that is roughly twice as deep as it is long. The challenge with that is that it is near-impossible to view each (ALL) of the sections at the same time. We're wondering if we take a 'sort of fish-eye' view of the space and allocation of design elements, so it may be viewed as a single graphic; is it beneficial for the client to absorb, critique, adjust, make change requests, relocate design elements, etc. We would still provide individual wall shots as well. What do you think? And no, the walls are not round LOL - that's the result of enabling a single graphic view of the entire space. We appreciate your feedback immensely - GO NOW! (below ;-)

It's not a big space - but it's space well utilized. Which reminds us....it's WINE-O'CLOCK! Enjoy your weekend, safely everyone!

This BIG-little-job had some challenges - but it's in now, and looks fantastic (if we may say so ourselves) -

So...this new closet rendering software is pretty cool. Looking forward to extending access to our clients remotely, so they can control the walk-throughs as we perfect their designs. Friday Friday - we LOVE FRIDAY! Have a great day and weekend everyone!

Need your help - input. Serious Question: When looking for trades related help, what (or who) helps you, or most impacts your decision process, to engage with a company? Google? Facebook? HomeStars? Friends/Family? Other? Counting on your feedback - greatly appreciated!! Please comment

Move it along...nothin' to see here...it's just another built-in. You 'almost' can't see the different widths left and right of the fireplace .

We thought this one was worth reposting - have an awesome weekend friends!
