Finish carpentry with tight, clean joints
Crown molding, baseboards, casing, and custom woodwork scribed and fitted to the room as it actually is, not as the drawings assume.
Overview
The details that make a room feel finished rather than merely painted.
What finish carpentry involves
Finish carpentry is the last layer, and it is the one people touch and look at closely. It is also the one that exposes how square the rest of the building is.
Walls bow, corners run out, and floors are rarely level. Good trim work absorbs those realities through scribing and careful fitting, so the finished room looks intentional.

What you get
Fitted to real conditions
Walls are rarely straight and corners are rarely square, so trim is scribed and adjusted to the room rather than forced into place.
Joints that stay closed
Mitres and returns are cut and fastened to stay tight, which is what keeps them from opening up as the house moves through the seasons.
Consistent profiles
Trim profiles are matched across rooms so the house reads as a whole rather than a set of separate projects.
Before & after
Completed finish carpentry projects will be documented here with same-angle before-and-after photography.
Project photography is being prepared. In the meantime, see our before & after comparisons and recent projects.
