With new buildings or even redesigns, it’s often the little things that make a difference. Paint colors, for example, instead of a dry, matte white finish could make an office look more inviting, helping to propel your business forward. Specialty millwork, too, can serve the same purpose. custom casework, Carroll Seating

Understanding Customized Millwork
From creative doors to great baseboards and crown molding, specialty and custom millwork provides those special little touches you just can’t get with off-the-shelf solutions. It helps to bring together the whole picture of your office, tying in the right design themes that will help put your customers at ease again and again. Think the millwork details don’t matter? Think again. Consider an unfinished room for a moment. It likely feels incomplete. Now add in the right millwork components. Even if you have the same drab white walls, you have a far more complete look, helping you get more done every day. 

Carroll Seating Company has been providing specialty millwork solutions for decades. More than just a company that designs seating solutions, we can create the ideal look in almost any setting. We’ve worked in schools, libraries, hospitals, and lots of offices in the past. Our work has been featured in offices of some of the biggest brands in the nation, and we would be proud to feature it in your office as well. 

From start to finish, we provide turnkey solutions to help meet your needs and your budget. We can help with the initial planning phase and recommend the right products for every job. We know you want the highest level of satisfaction at the right price, and we’re committed to meeting your needs.

Excellence defines Carroll Seating Company, so as you look for a custom millwork provider, please keep us in mind.

It  is Time for a Renovation  
Whether it is an older space that is in need of updating or a new space that is looking for planning and design, choosing the right company for the job is tantamount to getting the best work possible. When in search for seating solutions such as indoor telescopic bleachers, court-side seating, cafeteria seating, classroom seating or auditorium seating the ultimate goal of each end user is to obtain a fully functional and expertly installed product. The best way to achieve complete satisfaction is to recruit the services of a company that has years of experience and continued education within the industry.

The Best for You
Carroll Seating Company began in 1952 by Patrick Carroll, Sr. with a simple goal – to sell quality church pews that any church would be proud to own.  From there the business expanded and has grown to serve multiple states while still maintaining the standards of excellence it began with in 1952.

Now in 2012, while we still outfit the school and institutional market throughout Illinois, Kansas and St Louis with various seating solutions, offering architectural woodwork, millwork, casework, lab and healthcare products has grown our well known seating company into a multifaceted solution center.

Smart Partnerships
We pride ourselves on working with the best manufacturing companies in order to provide the highest quality of product.   Our staff includes a wide range of people who excel in what they do, from estimators to sales persons, project managers to support personnel.  Our job does not stop at the installation of the project. Here at Carroll Seating Company we have a Service and Repair division to help maintain and extend the life of your product.

We know that personal relationships with our clients are the foundation for what we stand for.  It’s just one of the many reasons why we don’t just supply you with seating – we supply you with total solutions.  Feel free to contact us in person, over the phone, or through email and we’ll promptly address your questions or comments.
