Kitchens, Baths and the Carpentry Around Them
Nine interior services under one contract, with complete oversight from the first estimate through the final walkthrough.
Kitchen Remodeling
Cabinets set level and tight, even when the floor is not.
Cabinet installation sits at the center of a kitchen remodel, and it is where most kitchen problems start. Each base cabinet is shimmed to a level line taken from the high point of the floor, fillers are scribed to the wall instead of caulked, and every upper cabinet is screwed into studs.
- Cabinet installation, islands and pantry units
- Wall removal and new openings
- Crown, light rail and panel trim on cabinets
- Flooring laid to suit the cabinet layout
Bathroom Remodeling
Most of what makes a bathroom last is hidden behind the tile.
A full bathroom remodel takes the room to the studs, and the waterproofing done at that stage decides how long the rest lasts. Shower walls go on cement or foam board with a waterproofing membrane, never plain drywall, and the floor is sloped to the drain before any tile goes down.
- Shower installation, from waterproofing to tile
- Vanity and storage installation
- Tile or luxury vinyl flooring
- Moisture-resistant baseboard and trim
Stairs & Handrails
Refinished stairs, new stairs and handrails that stay put.
Stair work is its own specialty inside finish carpentry, and it is handled here as a dedicated service. Refinishing starts at bare wood so stain takes evenly, and handrails are set 34 to 38 inches above the nosing, fastened into studs or blocking, never just drywall.
- Staircase refinishing, sanded to bare wood
- Tread and riser replacement
- New stair construction
- Handrails, newel posts and balusters
Finish Carpentry
Built-ins, wainscoting and woodwork made for a single room.
Finish carpentry is woodwork built for one specific room, and none of it comes ready to install. Built-ins are scribed to the wall and floor so they read as part of the house, and panel layouts start from the center of the wall so both ends come out equal, never with a sliver in a corner.
- Built-in bookcases, cabinets and window seats
- Wainscoting, board and batten, paneled walls
- Fireplace mantels and surrounds
- Closet and shelving built-ins
Interior Trim & Moulding
Baseboard, crown and casing installed so joints stay closed.
Trim is the first thing people notice in a finished room, and the first place an open joint shows. Inside corners are coped rather than mitered so they stay tight as the walls move with the seasons, and in older homes a discontinued profile is rebuilt from stock pieces to match a cut sample.
- Baseboard and shoe moulding
- Crown moulding, including built-up profiles
- Chair rail and picture rail
- Window casing, stools and aprons
Interior Door Installation
Doors that close with a light push and show an even gap.
A door that sticks or drifts open is usually a jamb problem, not a door problem. Prehung units are shimmed plumb on the hinge side and squared to an even reveal before the casing goes on, and every cut edge is sealed so the door does not swell and rub through a humid summer.
- Prehung doors and slab replacement
- Pocket, bifold, barn-style and French doors
- Door casing matched to existing trim
- Hinges, locksets and door hardware
Flooring Installation
A new floor only lasts as long as what is underneath it.
Most flooring failures start below the surface, in the subfloor. Moisture is measured in the subfloor and the new material, the subfloor is flattened to the manufacturer’s tolerance, and expansion gaps hide under the baseboard. Installing over a crawl space? Read what to check first in our FAQ.
- Solid and engineered hardwood
- Luxury vinyl plank and laminate
- Subfloor repair and leveling
- Stair nosings, thresholds and transitions
Drywall Installation & Repair
Patches that disappear once painted, not just once dry.
A patch only disappears if the finish around it matches, so compound is feathered well past the repair and the existing texture is matched. Walls lit from the side by a large window, or painted flat, get a Level 5 skim coat, and water-damaged board is cut back to dry framing.
- New drywall, hung and finished
- Hole, crack and seam repair
- Water-damaged ceiling and wall replacement
- Texture matching: smooth, orange peel, knockdown
Framing & Structural Work
The part you never see, and the part everything rests on.
Everything else in a remodel builds on the framing, so it is the step that gets checked hardest. When a wall comes out, the new header is sized for the span and the load above, and floors that sag or bounce over a crawl space get sistered joists and added supports before new flooring goes down.
- New walls and rough openings
- Wall removal and header installation
- Sistering and reinforcing floor joists
- Subfloor replacement after moisture damage
