Coffered & Tray Ceilings

Coffered Ceilings & Tray Ceilings in Sarasota & Lakewood Ranch

A coffered ceiling or tray ceiling is the most dramatic upgrade you can make to a room. We design and build custom coffered ceilings and tray ceilings for living rooms, dining rooms, studies and primary suites.

The work

Built to the room.

Coffers work when the grid is laid out to the room, not the other way round. We centre the pattern on the focal point, size the beams to the ceiling height and detail every intersection.

Tray ceilings gain drama with stepped layers of crown and hidden LED cove lighting. We build both new tray ceilings and enhance existing ones.

Process

From first visit to final trim.

The same careful process on every coffered & tray ceilings project.

  1. Consult

    We visit your home, listen, measure, and talk through style, budget and timeline.

  2. Design

    You review drawings and profiles so proportions are settled before any wood is cut.

  3. Build

    Materials are milled and fitted with precision, on site and in the shop.

  4. Finish

    Joints are tight, caulk and fill are clean, and the site is left spotless.
