Our Services
Carpentry encompasses many tasks, requiring the use of a broad range of tools and materials – we love working with authentic materials, especially wood.
Here are a few specific things I do:
trim
Baseboard, window/door casings, crown molding, coffered ceilings, wainscoting, and much more. You may not know it, but you can feel it when they’re done right.
Staircases
Straight, winding, or something in between: stairs are a pathway from one level to another. They deserve to be elevated, one step (or tread) at a time.
Doors/Windows
These welcome the light and the sweet air of spring; but only when done right do they deny entry to the cold air of winter and (of course) any unwanted relatives.
Framing
Strength and efficiency are the priority. Framing must stand the test of time and be erected in a timely manner.
Porches/decks
These are dynamic spaces, blurring the lines between and inside and outside. Decks and porches are great for improving the presence of a house while increasing its usefulness.
remodeling
The 70s had its perks… your 1970s kitchen is not one of them.
Built-ins
These are what bring a common house to another level: reading nooks, shelves, and cabinets are at their best when deeply integrated into the house itself.
Siding
To protect the bones and occupants of a building, and to look good doing it. This is the purpose of siding. It is fundamental to the identity of a house.
Timber framing
An ancient and beautiful way of building: many timber frames from a millennia ago still stand strong. What building can rival the strength and natural beauty of these structures?
