CUSTOM MATERIAL INLAYS & DETAILING

Custom stone mosaic tile inlay featuring precision CNC-machined floral patterns for backsplash design in Chicago home.

Distinctive design lives in the custom details. Using local CNC machining, we cut tailored geometric patterns, star cutouts, and bespoke mosaics directly into stone, tile, wood, and cabinetry. Patrick Shanahan combines architectural precision with hands-on fabrication to give your home a handcrafted signature you won't find off the shelf.

THE BUILDING PROCESS

  1. Design Consultation & Graphics: We review pattern ideas, star cutouts, or geometric tile motifs for your space.

  2. Digital Architectural Vector Drafting: We digitize the custom design into precise CAD files for CNC machining.

  3. Raw Material Sourcing: Sourcing premium raw stone slabs, ceramic tiles, or hardwoods for custom fabrication.

  4. Local CNC Machining: Precision cutting of patterns, backsplashes, cabinet faces, or floor inlays.

  5. Dry-Fit Inspection: Pre-assembling pieces in the shop to verify tight tolerances and exact fit.

  6. On-Site Installation: Hand-setting custom mosaics, wood inlays, or patterned cabinet faces on location.

  7. Sealing & Final Detail Work: Applying protective sealants to stone or finishes to complete the piece.
