FOCUS

  • Custom Fabrication

    Technical Skill, smart design and visual knowledge drive our process.

    You dream it, Cold Mountain will make it happen.

  • Material Selection

    Always on the hunt for the latest innovation or performance design, we source materials that are appropriate for the demands of each project.

    Great suppliers and years of experience allow us to match the right material solutions for simple to complex projects.

  • Project Management

    Our team’s background allows us map the puzzle pieces to complete a custom desk or a full-scale restaurant build.

    We take pride in proactive communication and planning throughout the project.

    Project phases include consultation, design, production, installation and warranty.

    We will tailor a strategy around these phases, your budget, and timeline to optimize your client experience.

  • Fabrication Partners

    Cold Mountain specializes in woodworking hands down, but we’re hardly limited to one discipline.

    We work with some of the best artisans and manufacturers in the area to create projects in a wide range of materials and scales.
