At Pellegrino, fine Italian craft meets Connecticut’s architecture. For Connecticut homeowners and business owners, custom millwork is more than cabinetry — it’s a long-term investment in beauty, functionality, and value. Whether it’s a chef’s kitchen, a tailored library, or a reception desk that sets the tone for your brand, expertly designed and built millwork transforms the way you live and work.
What “Custom” Really Means
Custom is not just a list of sizes. It’s a process that aligns design intent, engineering, materials, and finishing to the specific space and lifestyle. Cabinets are built to fit within a sixteenth of an inch. Hinges are chosen for weight and frequency of use. Drawers are tailored to your cookware and small appliances. Finishes are tested for durability and color accuracy in local light conditions. The result is millwork that looks effortless and performs for decades.

The Value Case in 2025
Everyday Benefits of Custom Millwork
Function without compromise:
No wasted space or awkward fillers — every inch is optimized.
Durability:
Solid hardwood frames, dovetailed joints, and catalyzed finishes outlast quick fixes.
Cohesive style:
Kitchens, mudrooms, and vanities share a unified design language.
Commercial advantage:
Non-porous tops, integrated lighting, and sealed millwork support hygiene and brand presentation.
Materials That Age Gracefully
In Connecticut’s climate, choosing the right wood and finish is critical. Options like rift-cut white oak, walnut with hand-rubbed finishes, or painted maple with hard coat protection are timeless choices. The goal is a palette that looks refined today and even better in a decade.
