Custom Millwork Designed, Milled & Installed
Looking for custom millwork near you? Arc & Oak Millwork is a local architectural millwork shop serving homeowners, designers, builders, and heritage restorations throughout Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. Millwork is the trim, moulding, panelling, and architectural woodwork that gives a room its character.
Rather than the limited stock profiles at the lumberyard, we cut custom knives and mill to your exact profile, so your crown, casing, baseboard, and panelling suit the proportions and period of your home. Every piece is joined, sanded, and finished at our bench.
From a single fireplace mantel to a whole home of coordinated trim and panelling, we handle design, milling, and installation under one roof.
The Bench, Not the Factory
Architectural Millwork, End to End
Every element of a room's woodwork, drawn and milled to the same standard and finished under one roof.
Crown Moulding & Cornice
Custom-profiled crown, cornice, and ceiling mouldings that frame a room and suit its ceiling height and period, from simple modern reveals to layered traditional builds.
Wainscoting & Wall Panelling
Raised, flat, and board-and-batten panelling, wainscot, and feature walls that add depth and architecture to hallways, dining rooms, and stairwells.
Trim, Casing & Baseboard
Door and window casing, baseboards, and jambs milled as a coordinated set so every profile in the home relates, with clean returns and tight mitres throughout.
Coffered & Beamed Ceilings
Coffered, beamed, and boxed ceilings that bring warmth and structure overhead, engineered to sit flush and true across the whole span.
Stair Millwork
Treads, risers, stringers, handrails, and newel posts crafted as architectural millwork, including modern floating stairs and traditional balustrades
Mantels & Feature Millwork
Fireplace mantels, columns, archways, and one-of-a-kind architectural details that become the focal point of a room.
Your Profile, Cut to Order
Stock trim comes in a handful of profiles. Custom millwork is defined by the ability to cut any profile you can draw, matched to the era and proportion of your home.
- Custom knives ground to match or restore existing profiles
- Period-correct profiles for heritage and character homes
- Layered, built-up mouldings for depth and shadow lines
- Solid hardwood and paint-grade options
- Seamless scarf joints and hand-fit returns on site
Milled in the Wood That Suits Your Home
We work in a range of hardwoods and paint-grade stock, chosen for grain, stability, and the finish you have in mind.
White Oak
Classic, durable, open grain
Walnut
Rich, warm, refined
Maple
Smooth, ideal for paint
Fir
Traditional, character grain
Cherry
Warm tone, ages beautifully
Poplar
Stable, premium paint-grade

Why Custom Millwork Is Worth It
Stock trim is made to a catalogue. Custom millwork is made to your home. Here is the difference you live with every day.
Our Custom Millwork
Any profile you can draw, milled in solid hardwood or premium paint-grade stock, scaled to your ceilings and proportions, joined with tight mitres and scarf joints, and finished by hand. Coordinated across the whole home.
Off-the-Shelf Trim
A short list of fixed profiles in finger-jointed or MDF stock, often out of proportion for the room, with visible joints and factory coatings. Built to a price point rather than to the architecture of your home.
How We Design & Build Your Cabinets
A clear, four-stage process that takes your project from first conversation to final install.
Consultation & Survey
We listen first, then measure the space and study existing profiles and proportions before design begins.
Design & Profiles
Drawn profiles, samples, and a clear quote. You approve the exact moulding and detail before knives are cut.
Mill in the Shop
Stock is milled to your profile, joined, and dry-fit at our bench by the same team every time.
Finish & Install
Hand-finished, then carefully installed with scribing, coping, and adjustment until every joint is true.
Custom Millwork Across the Lower Mainland
We design, mill, and install custom architectural millwork for homeowners, designers, and builders throughout Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.
Custom Millwork FAQs
What is custom millwork?
Custom millwork is architectural woodwork made to order for a specific space, including crown moulding, casing, baseboards, wainscoting and panelling, coffered ceilings, stairs, and mantels. Unlike stock trim, it is milled to your own profile and proportions.
