What Finish Carpentry Covers

The visible woodwork that defines the character of a room.

Baseboard

Bottom-of-wall trim where wall meets floor. 4″–6″ tall in modern homes, taller in historic homes. Coped corners stay tight.

Crown Molding

Top-of-wall trim where wall meets ceiling. Single-piece or built-up. Adds 25% to perceived ceiling height visually.

Door & Window Casing

Trim that frames doors and windows. Most popular: 3″–4″ colonial profile or modern flat stock with backband.

Wainscoting

Lower-wall paneling — beadboard, board-and-batten, picture-frame, raised panel. Adds traditional or coastal character.

Picture-Frame Molding

Decorative wall panels created with thin trim pieces. Modern, inexpensive way to add architectural detail.

Chair Rail

Horizontal mid-wall trim, classically at 30″–36″ above floor. Works alone or as top edge of wainscoting.

Door & Window Installation

Replacing a door or installing one in a new opening — we handle both.

Pre-Hung Interior Doors

Comes with frame and hinges. We square the opening, shim, anchor, install hardware, and case the trim. Most installs 2–4 hours.

Slab Doors

Just the door panel. We hang it on existing hinges, mortise for hinges and latch if new, install hardware.

French Doors

Pair of doors swinging out from a center jamb. Beautiful for offices, bedrooms, and back patios. Requires wider opening.

Pocket Doors

Slide into the wall when open. Space-saving in tight bathrooms and laundry rooms. We frame the pocket and install the track.

Barn Doors

Sliding hardware mounted on the wall. Trendy for bedroom, bathroom, and pantry entries. We mount the track and install the door.

Exterior Doors

Front, back, side. Includes weather sealing, threshold, deadbolt, and trim. We coordinate with painting if needed.

Stair Work

Treads, risers, balusters, handrails — the most-visited part of any two-story home.

Tread & Riser Replacement

Carpet-to-hardwood conversion, or replacing worn treads. Oak, maple, or pre-finished engineered options.

Balusters

The vertical spindles between handrail and stair. Replace with wood square stock, turned profiles, or modern metal.

Handrails

Wall-mounted or open-stair railing. Solid oak, poplar, or paint-grade. Brackets every 4 feet minimum per code.

Newel Posts

The big posts at the top and bottom of a staircase. Plain box, turned column, or custom-built panel newel.

Custom Built-Ins

Furniture-quality built work that turns awkward corners and dead walls into functional storage.

Bookcases & Library Walls

Floor-to-ceiling or single-wall units. Adjustable shelves, integrated lighting, optional rolling library ladder.

Entertainment Centers

TV alcove, integrated speakers, cabinets for components, drawers for media. Sized to your TV and room.

Mudroom Benches

Bench with cubbies above, drawers below, hooks for coats. Perfect for the back-entry that takes a beating all winter.

Home Office Desks

Built-in desk with file drawers, upper cabinets, and integrated cable management. Custom-fit to the wall.

Window Seats

Storage bench under a window with hinged or drawer access. Adds usable seating and storage in one piece.

Floating Shelves

Hidden-bracket shelves that look like they grow from the wall. Solid wood, painted MDF, or stained hardwood.

Materials We Work With

Poplar

Best paint-grade hardwood. Takes paint smoothly, stable, affordable. Used for most painted trim and built-ins.

Oak

Classic stain-grade hardwood. Strong grain pattern, traditional look. Common for stair treads and railings.

Maple

Smooth, tight-grained hardwood. Stains evenly or takes paint well. Modern look for built-ins.

MDF

Medium-density fiberboard. Best for painted profiles — no knots, no movement, sharp edges. Used for most baseboard and crown.

PVC

Cellular PVC for exterior trim. Never rots, paints like wood, ideal for window casings, fascia, and porch columns.

Custom Millwork

For matching historic profiles or designing a unique look. We mill on-site with router and shaper bits.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does finish carpentry cost in Worcester County, MA?

Trim and finish work is typically quoted by the linear foot or by the project. Pricing depends on profile selection, complexity, and total footage. Custom built-ins range from a simple bookcase to a full entertainment center with cabinets and lighting — each project is custom-quoted after a walkthrough.

What’s the difference between rough carpentry and finish carpentry?

Rough carpentry is the structural framing — studs, joists, rafters, the bones of the building. Finish carpentry is everything that’s visible after the drywall goes up: baseboard, crown molding, casing, doors, stair railings, built-ins, mantels, wainscoting. Finish carpentry is what makes a house look like a home — and what separates a polished remodel from one that looks unfinished.

Do you install interior doors?

Yes — pre-hung and slab doors, single and double, sliding, French, pocket, and barn doors. We hang the door, install the hardware, case the opening, and finish the trim to match the rest of the room. Door installs are quoted per opening plus the door itself.

Can you build custom built-ins?

Custom built-ins are a specialty — entertainment centers, bookcases, window seats with storage, mudroom benches with cubbies, home office desks. Built from poplar, oak, maple, or paint-grade MDF depending on the look you want. Lead time is typically 2–3 weeks for materials, then 1–2 weeks of on-site work.

Do you install crown molding?

Yes — single-piece crown molding and multi-piece built-up crown (3+ profiles stacked together) are both available. We quote based on profile, footage, and complexity. We cope inside corners (not miter — coped joints stay tight as the house moves) and use a brad nailer with putty fills, primed and ready for paint.

Will you match existing trim in my older home?

Most Worcester County homes built before 1950 have trim profiles you can’t buy at the big box. We can source matching profiles from specialty millwork shops, or we can custom-mill a match with a shaper. Either way, we’ll bring sample pieces before committing so you see the match in your light.

Do you do stair work?

Treads, risers, balusters, handrails, newel posts — full stair remodels and refinishing. Carpet-to-hardwood stair conversions are popular: we remove old carpet, refinish or replace treads, install new risers, and finish the railing. Each staircase is custom-quoted based on step count, materials, and railing style.

Can you replace baseboards in my whole house?

Yes — full-house baseboard replacement is a common project. Remove old baseboard, repair any wall damage where it was anchored, install new baseboard (typically 4-inch or 5-inch tall in modern homes), caulk top and corners, fill nail holes, prime, and paint. Whole-house projects are quoted by linear footage, profile, and paint scope.
