FAQ

Questions about carpentry & custom woodwork

Quick answers on scope, pricing, and what to expect.

Standard builds use pre-primed MDF, plywood, or paint-grade poplar for trim and frames. Stain-grade builds use solid hardwood or hardwood plywood. We'll recommend the right material for the look, load, and budget at the estimate.

Paint-grade matches are straightforward. Stain-grade matches on aged wood are harder — we'll get close, but exact matches on a heavily yellowed clear-coat are difficult. We'll set realistic expectations before we start.

For straightforward shelving, alcove built-ins, and closet systems we design on-site with you. For larger or more architectural built-ins we'll often recommend a designer for the look and let us handle the build and install.

Our short modular ramps and threshold ramps follow ADA slope guidance for residential use. Permanent permitted ramps on larger rises are referred to a licensed general contractor.

Yes. We cut out the rotted section, replace it with PVC or rot-resistant wood, prime and paint to match. If the rot extends behind the siding or into framing, we'll flag a larger scope before opening it up.

Most single-room shelving and trim projects are one to two days on-site. Larger built-ins, multi-room trim packages, or projects with custom millwork are scoped during the estimate so you know exactly what to expect.
