Every part of the job, under one roof.

Most full custom kitchens we build land between $90,000 and $250,000 including cabinetry, counters, appliances and installation; large or highly detailed rooms can exceed that. Because we design, mill and install in-house, we can give you a realistic range after the first walkthrough and a firm number once drawings are approved — before the shop starts cutting.

Both. Soraghan Woodworking is a family-owned design-build and general contracting firm as well as a woodworking shop. We take on whole-house renovations, additions and new custom homes, and we also build one-off pieces of furniture and single runs of cabinetry.

A single furniture commission typically takes six to twelve weeks. Kitchens and millwork projects usually run three to five months from design approval, and whole-home work runs six to fourteen months depending on permits and scope. We publish a milestone schedule at the start and update it weekly.

Yes. We measure existing profiles by hand and have knives ground when a profile is unusual or no longer made. For antique homes we also match species, grain direction and finish sheen so new work is indistinguishable from the original.

For painted cabinetry, hard maple is our standard because it takes paint cleanly and wears well. For natural finishes we reach for white oak (stable, beautiful grain), black walnut (rich, warm, distinctive) and cherry (which deepens with light). We finish with hard-wax oil or a catalyzed lacquer depending on how the surface will be used.

Our shop is at 4 Old North Road in Barkhamsted, Connecticut, and our design studio is at 374 West Street, Suite 100 in Bristol. Shop visits and finish samples are welcome by appointment — it is the best way to understand what you are buying.
