Where architecture becomes tangible
For more than a decade, Ellis-Reid has set the standard for architectural millwork across the Carolinas — uniting craftsmanship, precision, and reliability on every project. What began as a trusted trim installation company has evolved into a full-service millwork partner, offering design-informed fabrication and installation for the region's most discerning builders and architects.
We believe millwork is where architecture becomes tangible — the moment when design intent takes form. Every joint, profile, and finish reflects our dedication to craftsmanship and the details that give each space its lasting character. Our team is built to solve complex challenges, translating intricate designs into flawless execution with systems refined through years of experience.
From mouldings and wall paneling to built-ins, doors, and custom architectural elements, Ellis-Reid delivers millwork that endures — crafted with care, installed with precision, and designed to stand the test of time.
"We don't just shape wood — we translate architectural intent into physical form."
Marked trucks, known faces, and a crew that protects your job.
The same people who build it install it. Our vans show up marked and stocked, our crews work clean inside finished homes, and you always know who is on site.

From file to finish
Source .dwg Files
Every profile begins as a precision-engineered CAD file — the digital DNA of each molding.
Export & Catalog
Using Blue Beam Revu, we export high-resolution SVGs and PNGs — each one assigned a unique ER part number.
Mill & Finish
Premium timber is precision-milled to exact CAD specifications in our Charlotte, NC facility.
Deliver Direct
From our shop to your jobsite — no middlemen, no minimum runs, no compromises.
Built on blueprints
Our catalog originates from over 100MB of .dwg CAD files — the same format used by architects and engineers worldwide. Each profile is dimensionally verified before it ever touches a saw blade.
This CAD-first approach means every Ellis-Reid profile can be spec'd directly into your architectural drawings with confidence. What you draw is exactly what you get.
