About Us
Innovative Building, incorporated in 1986, is headed by Jim Melvin who has over 35 years of experience in woodworking. Through 1999 we served the residential remodeling and addition market in Westchester, Putnam and Fairfield counties. At this time we decided to pursue our passion for fine custom cabinetry. With the completion of our new cabinet shop in 2000, our dream was realized. Always looking for ways to improve our business, we joined the eCabinets System Cooperative in 2004. This partnership provided us with state-of-the-art cabinet design/production software, access to a comprehensive selection of hardware and supplies and production sharing capabilities. After a considerable learning curve, our newly acquired efficiency has given us the tools to create high quality work better and faster than ever before. A recently completed project was featured in eCabinet Systems Magazine. Mr. Melvin has appeared in a New York Times-Westchester Section article on Collaborative Art.
A Word About Design
Good design gets half of the credit for creation of successful projects. While we are happy to work directly with the consumer on simple projects, our most successful work has benefited from the expertise of professional designers and architects. In collaboration with a client, practical and aesthetic considerations are addressed such as budget, taste, functional requirements, space limitations and unique site conditions. We welcome designs from a professional of your choice or we provide names of people whose skills we respect.
