Finish carpentry & trim.
Doors, baseboards, crown, built-ins, and custom millwork. This is the work I built my name on: the joints that line up and the reveals that stay consistent. Here's how a clean install actually happens.
The work that
gets noticed last.
Good trim is invisible when it's right and obvious when it's not. The whole job is in the fitting, not the fastening.
Measure and plan the look
We go over the profiles and the look you're after, then I measure every opening and run and plan the reveals and joinery before a single piece is cut.
Select and acclimate the material
Stock, species, and profiles are chosen for the room, then the material sits in the home long enough to acclimate, so it doesn't move after it's installed.
Check the walls and set lines
Walls and floors get checked for square and level, and reference lines are set. Trim that's installed to a crooked wall looks crooked, so this comes first.
Cut, cope, and dry-fit
Miters, copes, and scarf joints are cut and dry-fit before anything is fastened. If a joint isn't tight in the hand, it doesn't go on the wall.
Install with consistent reveals
Pieces are glued and fastened cleanly, with reveals kept consistent down the whole run so the eye reads one continuous line.
Fill, caulk, and sand
Nail holes are filled, seams caulked, and everything sanded and prepped so it's ready for a clean coat of paint or stain.
Inspect every joint
I go back over every joint and reveal in good light and fix anything that isn't right before the work is finished.
