Windhill + Co. Woodworks, Inc.

Windhill + Co. Woodworks is the cabinet shop inside a larger North Shore outfit — the Windhill group also builds houses and runs a realty arm — and it keeps its own showroom, finishing booth and installation fleet in a Georgetown building on Moulton Street. Kitchens, baths, mudrooms, bars, built-ins, architectural millwork: a custom shop rather than a cabinet reseller. Homeowners rate it 4.5 across 22 Google ratings, but only a couple of people have written anything at length. A good number resting on a thin base of written accounts reads as promising, not proven. Sitting under a design-build company means the shop works two ways: as a vendor to outside designers, architects and builders, and as the in-house cabinet source for Windhill's own renovations and new builds. Worth asking which one your job would be, and who owns the schedule if the cabinets are one piece of a bigger project. If you want cabinetry drawn, built, finished and installed by the same shop, this is that kind of operation. Ask for the shop drawings and a firm lead time in writing before any deposit — custom millwork lives and dies on those two documents.
