WHAT WE DO AT MAISON

Made for Your Home. Built to Belong.

Designed Around the Space

Every piece begins with the dimensions, architecture, and needs of the individual home.

Thoughtful Material Selection

Wood species, finishes, hardware, and other materials are considered as part of the complete interior.

Purpose in Every Detail

Storage, function, proportions, and everyday use inform how each piece is designed and built.

Skilled Craftsmanship

Careful fabrication and precise installation carry the design through to the finished work.

Part of the Architecture

We consider surrounding walls, floors, trim, and finishes so new work feels naturally integrated.

How We Work

Custom work starts with understanding the space. We consider how each piece should function, how it relates to the architecture around it, and the details that will make it feel like it has always belonged in the home.

Explore Our Approach
Start a Project

01

Consultation & Planning

We begin with your space, ideas, and practical needs. From dimensions and functionality to materials and architectural context, the details established early help guide everything that follows.

02

Design & Craftsmanship

With the direction established, the work moves from concept into carefully considered details and fabrication. Materials, proportions, hardware, finishes, and construction are coordinated with close attention to the finished result.

03

Installation & Finish

Installation is approached with the same care as fabrication. Each element is fitted, adjusted, and finished within the home so the final work feels integrated with the surrounding space.

WHERE WE BUILD

Made for Manhattan Homes

From pre-war apartments and townhouses to downtown lofts and contemporary residences, every Manhattan home presents a different canvas. Maison creates millwork and custom interior details around the architecture, proportions, and everyday needs of the space.

what our clients say
Illustrative residential interior with oak built-in shelving, cabinetry and a plaster fireplace.
We have been working with Nik for more than 2 years. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and consistently completes projects on time. Throughout our time working together, he was always took time to answer our questions to ensure that we were comfortable with the choices we made. He always follows up and is very responsive. When we ran into problems with our appliances, he was incredibly generous in fixing the issues. Additionally, whenever we asked for advice, he offered sound suggestions. It has been an absolute pleasure working with him, and I highly recommend his services.

We hired Stanton Construction for our kitchen renovation in New York City and had an excellent experience. Nikolas and his team were professional, responsive, and well organized from start to finish. Communication was clear, the project was managed carefully, and their attention to detail showed throughout the renovation. The quality of the cabinetry, custom millwork, and finish work exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend Stanton Construction to anyone looking for a reliable NYC general contractor for a kitchen or apartment renovation.

I worked with the team on refinishing my apartment floors and repainting my apartment. They did a wonderful job and were able to complete the work on schedule, handling all the paperwork with the management company, just a really great experience. I definitely recommend them.

I have worked with Nik over the last several years. He/his company has done a variety of jobs for me - painting, appliance repairs, blind repair, and a number of other jobs that are common in a NYC apartment. He is very prompt in responding, and very accommodative in scheduling, and in getting the job completed in a timely manner. Timeliness is very important to me as I want to keep the apartment rented for the maximum period. His pricing is reasonable and competitive. If something is not done right, he will return (at no extra cost) to make sure it gets done correctly. He has been my first (and final) call for everything that an apartment might need. I would recommend him without reservation. Thank you, Nik, until next time. Vijay

I hired Stanton to do a full skim coat and paint of my 3 bedroom apartment in Tribeca. They did a wonderful job. Communicated everything, worked very clean, and completed the work in the schedule they said they would. Very happy with the work and would use them again
