Common questions

What do your projects typically cost?

Kitchens from €18,000, closets and cabinetry from €8,000, and furniture pieces from €4,000. Where a project lands inside those ranges depends on size, materials, the amount of hand-joinery, and how much of the piece is visible. My smallest commissions start around €2,500. Every quote is fixed-price, with no surprises once we begin.

How long does a project take?

From first conversation to installation, expect 10 to 16 weeks for a kitchen or full closet system, and 6 to 10 weeks for a single furniture piece. Smaller repairs or adjustments can often be scheduled sooner.

Do you work outside Lisbon?

Yes — I regularly work across Greater Lisbon, Sintra, Cascais, and the Setúbal peninsula. I can also discuss projects elsewhere in Portugal.

What woods do you use?

I work mostly in solid European hardwoods — oak, ash, walnut, cherry — sourced from FSC-certified mills. Where it makes sense, I also use quality real-wood veneers over solid substrates. I'm happy to walk you through samples.

What is your process from first contact to installation?

I start with a conversation — usually at your home or at the atelier — to understand how you live and what you need. Then I measure, sketch, and send a fixed-price quote with material samples. Once approved, I build in the Lisbon atelier and install the work myself, finishing every piece by hand.

What information do you need to prepare a quote?

Photos of the room, rough dimensions, and a short description of what you want are enough to begin. For kitchens and cabinetry, knowing your appliance layout and storage habits helps. I refine everything during an on-site visit before finalising the quote.

Do you make painted kitchens?

Yes. In-frame doors and face frames in solid hardwood, hand-finished in any colour, with painted interiors or a timber contrast inside. Painted work is more labour than natural timber, and it's priced accordingly.

How does payment work?

60% on order, which covers materials and reserves your slot in the schedule; 20% at the start of installation; 20% on completion. Fixed price — the number in the quote is the number you pay, unless you ask me to change the scope. Two-year guarantee on everything I build.

Is there IVA, and at what rate?

All prices are quoted excluding IVA, shown separately on the quote. Renovation and improvement work in a private home may qualify for the reduced rate rather than the standard 23% — I'll tell you which applies to your project and why, and your accountant can confirm it.

Do you charge for travel outside Lisbon?

I work regularly across Greater Lisbon, Sintra, Cascais, Setúbal and Comporta. Delivery and installation outside the city are quoted as a separate line so you can see exactly what it costs — no hidden loading.
