Wood Refinishing in Town & Country
Estate homes with substantial custom cabinetry, room millwork spanning multiple rooms, and built-in shelving throughout. Sue Wheeler has worked in Town & Country for her entire career.
Town & Country is one of Missouri's most affluent communities — estate homes, heavily wooded lots, and interiors built to a high standard. The woodwork here reflects that: substantial custom cabinetry, room millwork that spans multiple rooms, built-in shelving and storage throughout, and staircases that are meant to be noticed.
The homes aren't old in the historic sense. Most were built from the 1950s through the present day, with ongoing renovations and additions. What they share is a commitment to quality materials — solid wood construction, custom millwork profiles, high-end hardware — and owners who expect the work done on those materials to be at the same level.
Sue Wheeler has worked in Town & Country for her entire career. She's familiar with the scope and expectations that come with these homes.
What We Do Most Often in Town & Country
Town & Country projects tend to span multiple categories — often kitchen cabinetry anchors the project, with room millwork and built-ins completing it.
Room millwork
Crown molding, wainscoting, window casings, chair rail, built-in bookcases, mantels, butler's pantry cabinetry. Town & Country homes carry extensive custom millwork throughout the main floor. We strip and refinish it as a unified project — consistent sheen, consistent tone, everything matching when we're done.
Kitchen cabinet refinishing
Custom kitchen cabinetry in solid wood or high-grade veneer is common in Town & Country. When the finish has aged or the owners want a color or sheen change, refinishing is the correct approach. We remove, transport to our shop, refinish under controlled conditions, and reinstall.
Built-in cabinetry
Home offices, libraries, mudrooms, and media rooms in Town & Country homes frequently have built-in cabinetry. When the finish has aged or a renovation shifts the surrounding palette, refinishing brings everything back in line without the cost or disruption of replacement.
Every project begins with a free in-person estimate. Sue reviews the scope, discusses finish options, identifies any repairs, and provides a written cost.
Scope and Process at This Level
Town & Country projects often involve more than one room — and sometimes more than one phase. That's a normal scope for us. We sequence work to minimize disruption: cabinetry out first, shop refinishing while on-site millwork prep happens, reinstall when everything is finished and cured.
We work with homeowners directly, or alongside interior designers, general contractors, and renovation coordinators — whoever is managing the project. Sue is the point of contact throughout.

From a Town & Country Client
"We did the entire main floor — kitchen, the study built-ins, crown molding throughout. Sue managed it herself from the estimate through install. Everything came back consistent. The millwork looks like it was just built."
