Finish Carpentry

General carpentry holds your house up – studs, joists, and rafters. You may not see it but you’re glad it’s there.

Finish carpentry, on the other hand, is what gives a room its “look.” A house is a collection of walls before the finish carpenter starts. It always has been, and always will be. Finish carpentry is what finishes a home.

Finish carpentry is about making things look right – cutting the molding so the joints are tight and each part is the right length. Installing crown molding can look “right” to the eye even if the wall and ceiling aren’t exactly square. It’s a matter of tricks, practice, and patience.
