Finish Carpentry, Stairs & Trim in Northern Illinois
The floor is only half the job. Stairs, base, casing and molding are what make a room look finished — and they are the details people notice when they are wrong.
We are one crew for flooring and finish carpentry, which matters more than it sounds. Stair treads that match the floor, base shoe that closes the perimeter cleanly, casing and molding scribed to walls that are never quite straight — those are the parts that get skipped or subbed out when flooring and trim are two different contractors.
Stairs are the clearest example. Capping a staircase with treads and risers to match a new floor is precise work: every tread is a slightly different width, and a gap at a riser reads from across the room. The staircase pictured here is treads and white risers on a turning flight.
Trim, baseboard, quarter round, window and door casing, and molding round out the service — usually as part of a flooring project, sometimes on their own.
