What dlz architectural millwork does

DLZ Architectural Millwork, LLC is a privately held, second-generation custom architectural millwork and casework manufacturer and installer based in Hartford, Connecticut. Founded in 2011 by David Zavarella after the retirement of his father Emidio's firm Emidio Woodworking (which operated for over 35 years), the company produces custom kitchens, bathrooms, shelving, trim work, desks, cabinetry, office casework, and countertops for both residential and commercial clients. Core technical capabilities include 3D rendering for project visualization, detailed shop drawings, and a 16,000 sq ft fully automated and computerized manufacturing facility.

The business operates a sales-led, project-based revenue model: customers submit service requests via the company website or phone, receive free estimates (typically completed within one week), and purchase one-time installation projects. The company backs all work with a one-year workmanship warranty and competes on on-time delivery, after-hours availability, and competitive pricing. Distribution is direct — on-site installation in customer locations plus a showroom — serving primarily the Hartford, CT and broader Connecticut market with some out-of-state project work.

The customer base is split between homeowners seeking remodeling casework and commercial/institutional buyers (courthouses, offices, medical offices, retail stores, schools, municipal organizations, and reception areas). The company has no disclosed institutional investors, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no external funding; ownership is concentrated in David Zavarella. Material sourcing is through major industry brand suppliers including DuPont, Corian, LG, and Postform for solid surface and laminate countertop products.

Broad incumbents

Others
