Frequently Asked Questions
How much does custom carpentry cost?
Projects vary widely based on scope, materials, and complexity. Simple trim work might start at a few hundred dollars, while custom cabinetry runs several thousand. We provide detailed estimates that break down materials and labor so you understand exactly what you're getting.
How long does a carpentry project take?
Timeline depends on project size and complexity. Trim work might take a few days, while custom built-ins or deck construction takes 1-3 weeks. We provide realistic schedules and communicate any changes promptly.
Can you match existing woodwork in my older home?
Yes, we specialize in matching historic trim profiles, wood species, and finishes. We can source matching materials or mill custom pieces to seamlessly integrate new work with existing details.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
For structural work requiring permits, yes. We manage the permitting process, ensure work meets all code requirements, and schedule necessary inspections. Your peace of mind is worth the extra step.
What types of wood do you recommend?
It depends on the application. For trim, we often use poplar or pine for painting, oak or maple for staining. For outdoor projects, pressure-treated lumber or cedar. For cabinetry, hardwood plywood or solid hardwoods. We guide you toward materials that match your needs and budget.
Do I need to move furniture or clear the space?
Yes, clearing the work area allows us full access and prevents damage to your belongings. We'll discuss specific requirements during our initial consultation so you can prepare properly.

Through precise measurements, proper tool selection, quality materials, proven joinery techniques, multiple quality checks, and 30+ years of hands-on experience. We take pride in every piece we create, no matter how small.
