What Is Finish Carpentry and What Does It Include?

When you’re investing in your home, details matter. Finish carpentry is the craftsmanship that brings those details to life—from blank walls and basic rooms into homes that feel complete, comfortable, and uniquely yours.

Finish carpentry is the visible woodwork installed to give your home its polished, refined look. Unlike rough carpentry, which creates the structural framework, finish carpentry is all about precision, aesthetics, and craftsmanship.

At Burl, finish carpentry includes:

• Trim and Molding: Baseboards, crown molding, window and door casings—these elements frame your rooms and add character.
• Custom Built-ins: Shelving, bookcases, entertainment centers, and storage solutions designed to fit your space and style.
• Doors: Interior and exterior door installation or replacement, including hardware and finishing details for a seamless look.
• Wainscoting and Paneling: Decorative wall treatments that add depth and visual interest.
• Millwork: Custom wood features, from mantels to stair railings, crafted to elevate your home’s design.
