Finish carpentry
& built-ins

Trim, doors, cabinets, stairs and custom built-in furniture. The work that shows, done by the person who measured it.

Finish carpentry is the last trade in the room and the one everybody sees. Reveals, returns, scribes to an out-of-square wall — the parts nobody notices unless they’re wrong.

Most of our built-in work starts as a sketch on graph paper: shelf heights, depths, what has to fit where. We build to that drawing, on site, cut to the wall as it actually is rather than as the plan says it should be.
