Our Design Principles

The Pillars of Our Millwork

01. Tailored Proportions

Cabinetry should never feel mass-produced. We custom-engineer every run to harmonize with ceiling heights, architectural mouldings, and spatial flow.

02. Heirloom Craftsmanship

Constructed in North America using 3/4" solid hardwood framing, 5/8" solid maple dovetailed drawer boxes, and European Blum soft-close mechanics.

03. Tactile Beauty

Our signature palette features multi-stage custom finishes and wire-brushed hardwood stains that offer soft, velvety durability for busy homes.

Curated Color Palette

Finishes Rooted in Nature

Twelve signature custom paints and six wire-brushed natural wood stains selected by Shoshanna Shapiro.

The Client Journey

A Considerate, Measured Experience

From verified field measurements to final production release, our 8-step commission process guarantees precision, budget credibility, and peace of mind.

1. Intake → 2. Virtual Call → 3. Field Measure → 4. Preliminary Estimate → 5. Design Agreement → 6. CAD Development → 7. Final Approval → 8. Production
01

Initial Inquiry + Intake

Your journey begins when you complete a short cabinetry intake detailing your project type, location, approximate scope, ideal timing, design inspiration, and any existing floor plans or photos.

02

30-Minute Virtual Consultation

This is our qualification conversation. We connect virtually to review your intake details, discuss expectations, answer initial questions, and determine whether the project appears to be a mutual fit before design work begins.

03

In-Person Consultation + Field Measure

For local projects passing initial consultation, the Sho and Co team visits your property in person. We inspect existing structural conditions firsthand, capture accurate dimensions for preliminary planning, evaluate site constraints, and discuss spatial goals in the actual room.

Why This Matters: By conducting a physical field measure prior to any financial commitment, we build a credible preliminary budget grounded in verified site data rather than unverified estimates.
04

Preliminary Cabinetry Estimate

Utilizing your intake, virtual consultation, and verified field measurements, we establish a preliminary cabinetry budget. This serves as a realistic budgetary baseline prior to full manufacturer engineering.

Retainer Benchmark Examples:
• Preliminary Budget: $50,000 → 10% Design Retainer = $5,000
• Preliminary Budget: $30,000 → 10% ($3,000), but the $4,000 minimum design retainer applies.
05

Sho and Co Cabinetry Design Agreement

We execute a concise, one-page design engagement agreement. This document formalizes that Sho and Co is being retained to develop your custom cabinetry design based on the preliminary budget.

100% Credit Guarantee: The retainer equals 10% of the preliminary budget (subject to a $4,000 minimum). It compensates Sho and Co for detailed design development and is non-refundable. However, when you proceed with your cabinetry purchase through Sho and Co, 100% of the retainer is credited directly toward your final cabinetry purchase.
06

Design Development

Design development begins in full: technical CAD drawings, architectural elevations, interior storage accessories, material selections, finish approvals, appliance panel clearances, and workshop coordination.

Our commitment includes an initial design presentation within 20 business days, accompanied by 1 to 3 dedicated design review meetings to fine-tune every detail.

07

Final Pricing + Design Approval

Once design layouts are perfected, we obtain direct workshop pricing and present your final Sho and Co cabinetry investment. You review final elevation drawings, door specifications, and finish blocks.

Your original 10% design retainer is applied directly as a credit against the final cabinetry cost.

08

Cabinetry Purchase & Production Agreement

The final agreement incorporates complete approved shop drawings, room-by-room specifications, final pricing, payment schedule, freight/delivery terms, site responsibilities, and warranty coverage.

Workshop Release: Executing the Production Agreement and submitting the required production deposit releases your custom cabinetry for bench-made production in our North American workshop.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers regarding our 10% design retainer, timeline, studio background, and trade collaborations.

01. Process, Retainer & Pricing

Design Retainer & Jobsite Expectations

How does the Sho and Co Cabinetry Design Agreement and 10% retainer work?

After an in-person consultation and field measurement, Sho and Co provides a preliminary budgetary estimate. To initiate CAD engineering and design development, clients sign a concise Sho and Co Cabinetry Design Agreement and pay a 10% design retainer (subject to a $4,000 minimum).

  • 100% Purchase Credit: The design retainer covers initial CAD elevations and layout development and is credited in full toward your final cabinetry order.
  • No Hidden Commitments: Ordering terms, freight, and production deposits are handled separately in the final Cabinetry Purchase & Production Agreement once design and pricing are approved.

Why does Sho and Co conduct an in-person field measurement before securing a design agreement?

Sho and Co conducts an in-person field measurement to inspect architectural conditions, wall plumbness, ceiling heights, and utility constraints firsthand. This physical verification ensures your preliminary estimate is grounded in accurate site data rather than unverified room sketches, protecting your project budget before any financial commitment is made.

What is the timeline for custom cabinetry from intake to jobsite delivery?

Once the initial intake and consultation are complete, Sho and Co presents initial CAD design elevations within 20 business days. Following 1 to 3 design review meetings, final drawings and manufacturer pricing are approved. Production release to white-glove jobsite delivery typically ranges from 11 to 15 weeks depending on wood species and custom finish complexity.

02. Brand, Service Area & Partnerships

Studio Footprint & Trade Collaboration

Where is Sho and Co Cabinetry located, and what regions do you serve?

Sho and Co Cabinetry is based in Maryland, serving homeowners throughout Montgomery County and Howard County—including Rockville, Potomac, Bethesda, Chevy Chase, and Ellicott City. We also ship fully crated custom cabinetry commissions directly to jobsites nationwide.

How is Sho and Co Cabinetry connected to the Sho and Co Interior Design Studio?

Sho and Co Cabinetry was founded by Principal Designer Shoshanna Shapiro of the full-service residential design firm Sho and Co (shoshannaco.com). While the cabinetry line can be ordered independently for kitchen and bath renovations, every piece is designed with the same architectural proportion, spatial awareness, and functional detail characteristic of Shoshanna’s full-scale interior design projects.

Do you collaborate with independent interior designers, general contractors, and architects?

Yes. Sho and Co Cabinetry partners directly with trade professionals, general contractors, and architects. We provide complete CAD packets, mechanical clearance specifications, and fully labeled elevation crates to ensure seamless installation by your on-site trim carpenters.
