Rugged Elk Designs

Custom furniture and cabinetry built to fit your space. We work with our clients to design and build one-of-a-kind pieces you can’t find anywhere else.

How it works!

At Rugged Elk Designs, our clients not only receive a custom piece of furniture or cabinetry but also an experience. We work closely with our clients from the consulting and design phase. Clients will receive a rough estimate early in the process to understand the likely cost of their project. We then discuss and make changes to create a rendering of the project, providing a visual representation for the client. This approach helps clients identify any desired changes before the actual construction begins.

During the design phase, we explain all the options to our clients and address any questions they may have. Once the rendering and price are approved, clients will receive a contract and invoice for a deposit to secure their project slot in the schedule. An estimated start date will be provided at this point, and we will keep clients informed about the progress of their project with regular updates.

Clients can also follow the progress of their project in our shop through behind-the-scenes photos and videos on our Instagram page.

Customer Reviews

  • "Travis is great! He tackled my project and helped me bring me bring it to reality!! He took down my cabinets and reinstalled in another space and cut my cubbard down to counter height, and reclad my posts!"

  • "Travis just completed my kitchen makeover. New cabinets with shaker doors and a custom island and vent hood over my stove. Everything is well made to last not big box store junk. He’s built a few other things for me and I’ve always been impressed but my kitchen is even better than expected. Highly recommend."

    Amy

  • "I live in Colorado and Travis made it easy to bounce ideas back and forth to find the perfect look for my coffee table. We played with different leg styles, natural and man-made destruction to the wood, and so many stains. I'm very pleased with the result and I know his work will hold up a hell of a lot better than most furniture you buy online or in-store

  • We hired travis to make a huge built in for our dining room. not only was his pricing really good, but we love knowing it was all made by hand and sturdy. he was a breeze to work with. always responded to questions, happy to help make my vision come to life and was quick to start on it. I can't say enough good things. you can tell he is passionate about what he does and it reflects in his work. highly recommend.

  • I was recently brought in by my customer to paint a custom built-in that Rugged Elk made. I was up close and personal with the construction, and I can attest to the fact that the cabinets were sturdy, well made, precise, and beautifully finished. He does great work. I’m hoping to send more business his way.

  • Outstanding service! I came to Travis with an idea for a kitchen island for my new apartment and nothing specific because I wasn’t sure what size to get. Our apartment was big and needed an island to fill the space and break up the room but I had no idea what to ask for. He was so patient and answered all the questions I had before we had even decided to work together. He was always in touch and communicated thoroughly. I am so glad we found him to complete this project for our new home!
