FAQ
Common Questions About Carpentry
Yes. We've restored and reproduced 1700s, 1800s, and early 1900s trim profiles in homes across Concord, Lexington, Andover, and Boston's western suburbs. We can match an existing profile from a single sample piece.
Absolutely. Library walls, fireplace flanking units, and full-height built-ins are some of our most-requested projects. Pricing typically runs $4,000–$15,000 per full wall depending on door/drawer detail and finish.
Both. Painted millwork is pre-primed in the shop, installed, then final-coated on-site for clean joints. Stained work is fully finished in the shop where dust control is better, then installed and touch-up finished.
Simple shelving units: 2–3 weeks from order. Detailed built-ins with doors and drawers: 4–6 weeks. Coordination with paint cure time is the biggest variable.
