Built-ins built like furniture
El Nogal builds custom built-ins to furniture standard: bookcases, shelving, and cabinetry made to your measurements in solid wood. We build and deliver each piece by hand, ready for your contractor to install. Every built-in is made by Giovani Ortega in Olney, Maryland, for homes across the DMV.
What you get
Built-in pieces made to furniture standard, not construction standard, with the joinery, wood, and hand finish we bring to a fine table. We measure your space, design the piece to fit it, build it in the workshop, and deliver it ready for your contractor to install.
How it works
We build and deliver; your contractor installs. This keeps the fabrication at furniture quality and lets your builder handle fit and fastening on site. All fitted piece types are fair game, from a wall of bookshelves to fitted cabinetry.
Common pieces
Built-in bookcases and shelving, cabinetry and storage walls, window seats and benches, and fitted units sized to an alcove or room.
Wood and finish
Solid hardwoods, finished by hand, the same finish we give our furniture.
Furniture-grade joinery →- Do you install built-ins?
- We build and deliver each built-in ready to install, and your contractor handles installation on site. This keeps the piece at furniture quality and lets your builder manage fit and fastening.
- What kinds of built-ins do you make?
- All fitted piece types, from bookcases and shelving to cabinetry, storage walls, and window seats. If it’s built to fit a space, we can make it.
- How much do built-ins cost?
- Built-in pieces are quoted per project, since a single bookcase and a full storage wall are very different jobs. We give you a firm price with your quote.
Every built-in is made by Giovani Ortega, with more than twenty years working solid wood by hand. El Nogal is licensed in Maryland.
