In-House Craft. On-Brand Execution.

In specialty retail, the details are important. CapEx excels in high-impact millwork for retail that turns floor plans into brand experiences.

As a general contractor with our own dedicated millwork shop, we eliminate the gap between design and delivery. We don’t just “install” your brand; we build it. By keeping fabrication in-house, we provide specialty retail clients with unmatched quality control, faster lead times, and the agility to adapt to site conditions.

From custom cash wraps to intricate display shelving, our in-house team ensures every finish aligns with your visual identity and every fixture is built to withstand high-traffic environments.

Retail Refresh: Transformation Without the Downtime

In specialty retail, a customer’s impression of your space is as important as the product on the shelves. CapEx is uniquely positioned in the high-stakes world of retail retrofitting, providing a seamless bridge between custom-built elements and functional storefront fixtures.

The Night Work Advantage

CapEx is able to coordinate our fabrication and installation to happen entirely during off-hours. Our teams are able to begin work after the last customer leaves and depart before the first one arrives, leaving behind a transformed space with zero impact on your daily revenue.

Technical Integration & Custom Fabrication

Modern retail casegoods play a large role in customer experience. With CapEx’s reputation as the Northeast’s leading retail specialty general contractor, we have the ability to handle the complex technicalities that standard installers miss:

  • Bespoke Fixtures & POS Furniture: We build custom cash wraps and display units pre-engineered for power and data, coordinating directly with MEP subcontractors.

  • Precision Finish Carpentry: From intricate moldings to custom trim, our on-site teams ensure that new built-ins transition perfectly into your existing environment.

  • Material Matching & Specialty Joinery: We are adept at material matching, such as sourcing discontinued laminates or replicating aged hardwood finishes to ensure your refresh feels like a natural extension of your global brand standards.

  • Adaptive Millwork: We solve the “fit” issues of aging retail spaces, retrofitting modern LED lighting and digital displays into legacy elements with surgical precision.
