Precision-crafted millwork for commercial builds across North Carolina. TGA Install partners directly with general contractors to deliver built-in cabinetry, architectural woodwork, custom trim profiles, wainscoting, and specialty wood elements that elevate every project from standard to exceptional.
Not every build calls for off-the-shelf solutions. When your project demands architectural wood elements that fit precisely, look intentional, and hold up over time, you need a millwork partner who understands construction timelines and contractor workflows. Here is who we work with.
You are building high-end and boutique commercial spaces where stock cabinetry and standard trim simply will not meet the design intent. You need a millwork sub who can interpret architectural drawings, produce shop drawings, and deliver precision-fit elements that require minimal field adjustment. TGA Install provides the craftsmanship your upscale projects demand.
Your commercial build includes custom reception desks, conference room built-ins, display cases, or breakroom cabinetry that need to be fabricated to exact specifications. You need a millwork team that coordinates with your project schedule, delivers on time, and installs without disrupting other trades on site.
Your renovation project requires matching existing trim profiles, replicating period-appropriate wainscoting, or extending built-in cabinetry to blend seamlessly with original woodwork. You need a partner with the skill to profile-match existing elements and fabricate new pieces that look like they have always been there.
Your design team has specified unique wood features (floating shelves, accent walls, custom mantels, library built-ins, or specialty architectural elements) that require fabrication expertise beyond standard carpentry. You need a millwork partner who can translate design concepts into buildable, installable reality.
Not Sure If Custom Millwork Is What You Need? If your project requires structural framing, general carpentry, or standard finish carpentry rather than custom-fabricated wood elements, our Carpentry or Framing services may be a better fit. We will help you determine the right scope during your initial consultation.

TGA Install for General ContractorsEvery custom millwork project follows a structured process that keeps your build on schedule and your design intent intact. From initial shop drawing review through final installation, we coordinate closely with your project team to deliver millwork that fits right the first time.
We begin with a thorough review of your architectural drawings and millwork specifications to produce detailed shop drawings for approval before fabrication starts.
We source specified materials, mill custom profiles, and fabricate all components in controlled shop conditions for superior quality and consistency.
We coordinate delivery with your superintendent and install all millwork elements with precision fitting, scribing, and finishing for a seamless result.
TGA Commercial works with business owners, property managers, and general contractors across North and South Carolina. From Charlotte to the Lake Norman towns and into the Rock Hill corridor, we deliver renovation, construction, and specialty trade services on occupied and active commercial sites.
Stock cabinetry and trim come in predetermined sizes, profiles, and finishes. Custom millwork is fabricated to your project's exact specifications: specific dimensions, wood species, profiles, and finishes that match the architectural design intent. Custom millwork is essential when standard sizes do not fit, when the design calls for unique profiles, or when you need to match existing woodwork in a renovation.
Lead time depends on project complexity and material availability. Simple trim profiles and standard-species cabinetry typically require 2-3 weeks from approved shop drawings to delivery. Complex projects with specialty veneers, curved elements, or extensive built-in systems may require 4-6 weeks. We provide a detailed fabrication schedule after shop drawing approval so you can plan your construction sequence accordingly.
We work with a wide range of domestic and imported hardwoods including red oak, white oak, walnut, maple, cherry, poplar, and mahogany. We also fabricate with paint-grade materials such as MDF, poplar, and primed finger-joint stock for projects where a painted finish is specified. If your architect has specified an uncommon species, we can source it. Just allow additional lead time for specialty materials.
We offer shop-applied finishes including stain and clear coat (lacquer or conversion varnish), painted finishes (spray-applied for a smooth factory appearance), and natural oil or wax finishes. Shop finishing produces a higher-quality result than field finishing because it is applied in controlled conditions with proper spray equipment. We can also deliver millwork unfinished for your painting contractor to finish on site if that is your preference.
Yes, profile matching is one of our core capabilities. We take a sample or detailed measurements of your existing trim, create a matching knife set, and mill new material that replicates the original profile. This is critical for renovations and additions where new millwork needs to blend seamlessly with existing woodwork. We can match virtually any profile, including profiles that have been out of production for decades.
We fabricate to the standards outlined in the Architectural Woodwork Standards (AWS), which define three grades of quality: Economy, Custom, and Premium. Most commercial projects specify Custom grade, which requires tight tolerances, clean joinery, and consistent finish quality. We will fabricate to whichever grade your architect has specified and can advise on the appropriate grade if it is not called out in the project documents.
We coordinate directly with your project superintendent to schedule millwork installation within the proper construction sequence. Millwork typically installs after drywall, painting, and flooring are complete but before final punch. We confirm delivery dates in advance, verify site conditions before installation begins, and work around other trades when overlapping schedules are unavoidable. Clear communication with your PM keeps the project moving without conflicts.
Yes, we produce detailed shop drawings for every custom millwork project before fabrication begins. Shop drawings include plan views, elevations, sections, and details showing dimensions, materials, joinery methods, hardware locations, and finish specifications. We submit these for your review and the architect's approval, and we do not begin fabrication until we have written sign-off. This eliminates misunderstandings and ensures the finished product matches the design intent.
