What is basic finish carpentry?

Finish carpentry encompasses all work done inside a house after framing, sheathing, wiring, plumbing, insulation and drywall have been installed. This includes door and window installation and trim, fitting interior doors, wood and laminate flooring installation, wainscoting, crown molding and cabinet installation.

What If It Rains On Installation Day?

We can do work rain or shine! We have tents we set up in the driveway to keep the wood and our equipment dry. If your garage is cleared, we prefer to set up in there to keep everything super dry and ensure there is no damage to the wood. Don’t worry about the mess we clean up after ourselves.

What duties do finish carpenters have on a job site?

Finish carpenters focus on making each individual detail look good, but they also must consider the overall design of the house as they complete their work. The goal, of course, is to create an interior where every detail goes well with every other detail.  

Here is a selection of duties that a finish carpenter might be responsible for on a job site:

• Building and installing cabinets, such as kitchen cabinets and under-stair cabinets. 
• Install wainscoting, baseboards, door trim, and other final touches. 
• Building and installing stair railings
• Installing interior doors such as pocket doors, and checking that the doors are aligned correctly and open and close the way they should. 
• Building shelves, other storage solutions, and furniture.
