FAQ
What is the difference between finish and rough carpentry?
Rough carpentry is the structure behind the walls. Finish carpentry is the visible woodwork: trim, casings, shelves and built-ins.
Can you match existing trim in an older house?
Often yes. We bring a sample of the profile to compare and tell you honestly how close we can get.
Will you paint the carpentry you install?
Yes, painting is part of what we do, so the carpentry and the finish can be one job.
How do I get an estimate for finish carpentry?
Send the estimate request on this site. We reply to arrange a visit, look at the work in person, and then write up the estimate. There is no commitment to hire us.
