The next generation of South Shore Millwork, Grace Burton learns to drive the company truck, (right), while Brian Burton learns to unload it, (left).
Jeff Burton, owner of South Shore Millwork, is a man who loves what he does. He’s passionate (like us), focused on the details (like us) and always makes sure to produce the best product he can (hey, that’s like us, too!) And South Shore Millwork, who’s specialty is high quality architectural millwork, is uncompromising when it comes to quality and service. He is high on our referral list. (Not to mention, he has very cute kids!) We worked together recently on a job in Norton requiring custom interior wood shutters with off-set boring holes to create the necessary louver clearance. Jeff provided us a custom color conversion varnish to finish the panels, which we did in our spray shop. They looked great.
