Frequently asked questions
Can you match existing trim?
A carpenter can often match the profile, width, and finish of existing trim, though older profiles may need custom milling.
Do I need a carpenter or a general contractor?
Small trim and repair jobs are typically carpentry. Structural changes, additions, or multi-trade remodels may need a general contractor.
Can rotted wood be repaired?
Minor rot can sometimes be repaired with epoxy or a Dutchman patch. Extensive rot should be replaced, and the moisture source should be fixed.
Do you build custom built-ins?
Many carpenters design and build built-ins for closets, mudrooms, bookcases, and window seats. The scope depends on the space and finish.
