INTERIOR CARPENTRY SERVICES IN CINCINNATI, OH

In most cases, yes. We carry a wide selection of standard profiles and can source custom millwork for less common styles. If you have a sample or can point us to the original spec, we will do our best to match it closely.

We recommend clearing furniture at least two feet away from the walls being worked on. For larger rooms, we can discuss staging options during the consultation so the job goes smoothly.

A single room typically takes one to two days depending on the scope. Whole-house trim work is usually broken into a multi-day schedule. We will give you a clear timeline in the written estimate.

Often, yes. Sticking is usually caused by seasonal wood movement, hinge wear, or a shifted frame. We evaluate the cause first and recommend repair if the door and frame are otherwise sound. Replacement is suggested only when the existing unit is beyond a reasonable fix.

We install hollow-core and solid-core pre-hung doors, barn doors with hardware, pocket doors, and bypass closet doors. If you have a specific door in mind, let us know during the consultation and we can confirm compatibility with your framing.

Paint prep is included when specified in the scope. We can prime the door and frame for you to finish, or provide a full paint finish at an additional cost. We will include the appropriate scope in your written estimate.

In many cases, yes. Squeaks are often caused by tread movement against the riser or stringer and can be corrected from above without full disassembly. We assess each case and use the least invasive method that will hold long-term.

We work to match existing materials as closely as possible. For stain colors, we bring samples and do a test patch before committing. Exact matches depend on the age and porosity of the existing wood, and we will be upfront about any limitations.

For most repairs, the stairs are usable the same day or the next morning. Refinishing work requires the finish to cure, which typically means staying off the stairs for 24 to 48 hours. We coordinate timing to minimize inconvenience.

Yes. Flanking a fireplace or working around architectural features is one of the most common built-in requests we handle. We measure carefully and design the unit to frame the feature cleanly on both sides.

We typically use paint-grade MDF for a smooth, painted finish, or hardwood and plywood for stained applications. Material choice depends on your preferred look, budget, and how the shelves will be used. We discuss options during the consultation.

We can prime and paint built-ins as part of the project. A full painted finish is typically included when specified in the estimate. If you prefer to handle finish painting yourself, we can deliver the unit primed and ready.

Yes. When a window is replaced, original casing is often removed and not reinstalled. We can fit new casing to any window opening and match the profile to the rest of the room for a consistent look.

Out-of-square windows are common in older Cincinnati homes. We scribe and cut trim to fit the actual opening rather than assuming square, and we use flexible caulk at joints to accommodate any remaining gaps cleanly.

Caulking all trim joints is included as part of the installation. Priming is included in most scopes. We will specify exactly what is covered in the written estimate before work begins.

We install board-and-batten, shiplap accent walls, flat-panel, raised-panel, and beadboard styles. During the consultation we can show you examples and help you choose a style that fits your home and budget.

Traditional wainscoting runs about one-third of the wall height, usually 32 to 42 inches. Board-and-batten can run taller, sometimes to the ceiling. We will recommend proportions that work for your room during the planning phase.

We can deliver the panels primed and ready for your painter, or we can include a full painted finish in the scope. Paint-grade MDF is our standard material for painted applications and produces a clean, consistent result.
