Cartons are staged at our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, a short run down the shore, and next-day delivery from Long Branch gets them to you before work begins.
A trunk of oak, engineered and prefinished samples rides along to your visit. We set them against your own trim and windows so the tone is judged in a Matawan room, not a showroom.
