Carpentry Services

Millwork drawn for your room.

Good carpentry disappears into the architecture. Whether we're running crown around a period living room or building a wall of shelving, we detail joints, reveals and returns so the piece looks native to the house.

Why us

Why owners choose us.

Shop + site workflow

Cases built in the shop, scribed to your walls on site.

Profile matching

Custom knife milled when stock trim doesn't match your period.

Furniture-grade finishing

Filled, sanded, primed and painted in-house.

Hidden hardware

Blum and Salice soft-close — no exposed hinges unless you want them.

Scope

What's included.

  • Built-in shelving & cabinetry
  • Crown, base, and casing packages
  • Mantels & wainscoting
  • Mudrooms and closet systems
  • Custom doors & interior detailing
  • Structural framing & repairs
Method

A repeatable process.

Every project runs through the same four stages so nothing is improvised on your dime.

  1. 01

    Detail

    Site measure, profile selection, and shop drawings before wood is cut.

  2. 02

    Shop

    Cases and panels built in the shop under controlled conditions.

  3. 03

    Install

    Scribed and shimmed to the room's real geometry — not the drawings'.

  4. 04

    Finish

    Sanded, filled, primed and painted (or stained) to a furniture standard.

Questions

Frequently asked.

Can you match existing trim?
Yes — we mill custom knives when a stock profile doesn't match.
Do you paint the millwork?
Painting and staining are part of our carpentry scope, not a subcontract.
Can we design as we go?
Small tweaks yes; layout changes we lock before the first cut.
