Commercial Cabinetry Services for Duncans Mills Businesses
We specialize in tailored solutions designed to meet the unique needs of various commercial sectors in this restored 1870s town. Originally established when Alexander Duncan built his sawmill in 1877 to supply lumber to growing San Francisco, today's Duncans Mills maintains its authentic North Pacific Coast Railroad (NPCR) heritage while housing modern businesses. The narrow-gauge NPCR ran through Duncans Mills from the 1870s until the 1930s, connecting Cazadero to Sausalito before the town slowly faded until its 1976 bicentennial restoration project.
