What a Finish Carpenter Does

Finish carpentry is the detailed interior woodwork installed after the structure of a room is complete. It covers everything visible: crown molding, baseboards, door and window casing, interior doors, wainscoting, stair parts, built-ins and cabinet installation.

Rough carpentry is the work that comes first and ends up hidden: wall framing, floor joists, roof structure and sheathing. A rough carpenter builds the skeleton of the house to carry loads. A finish carpenter works to much tighter tolerances, because every joint stays in view for as long as the house stands.

Finish Carpentry Services: What to Expect

What is included

Crown molding, baseboards, chair rail and other room trim
Door and window casing, stools and aprons
Interior door installation and adjustment
Wainscoting, board and batten, shiplap and paneled walls
Custom built-ins, shelving, mudroom benches and closets
Cabinet installation with fillers, panels and crown
Stair parts: treads, risers, skirt boards, newels and railings

How we do it

Finish work starts once drywall is done and, ideally, after flooring is in. We measure each room, plan where joints will fall, and cut every piece to the house as it actually is, since walls, floors and ceilings are rarely straight. Inside corners are coped, miters are glued, pieces are scribed to uneven surfaces, and everything is filled and caulked so it is ready for paint or stain.

What affects the cost

Every estimate is based on your project. The main factors are:

The amount of trim: linear footage and number of rooms
Profile size and complexity, and paint-grade versus stain-grade material
Ceiling height and how out of level or plumb the house is
Removing existing trim or matching trim in an older home
Custom pieces such as built-ins, paneling and stair work

Finish Carpentry Services Questions, Answered

What is the difference between finish carpentry and rough carpentry?

Rough carpentry is structural work that gets covered up: framing walls, floors and roofs. Finish carpentry is the visible interior woodwork added afterward, such as trim, doors, paneling, built-ins and cabinets. Rough work is judged on strength and accuracy of layout; finish work is judged on how the joints and surfaces look.

When in a renovation does the finish carpenter come in?

Near the end. Finish carpentry follows drywall and usually flooring, and comes before final painting. Cabinets go in before countertops are templated.

Do I need a finish carpenter or a handyman?

For a single repair, a handyman may be enough. For crown molding, paneling, door hanging, stair parts, built-ins or a full trim package, a finish carpenter has the tools and experience to get tight joints and consistent reveals across the whole house.

Do finish carpenters paint?

Finish carpenters prepare the work for paint by filling nail holes and caulking joints. Painting is sometimes included and sometimes handled by a painter. Tell us what you need in the estimate form and we will quote it accordingly.
