Carpentry in Madison, WI
Trim, doors, cabinet repair, windows, fences, and small builds — the woodwork that makes a home feel finished and function the way it should. Over 20 years of hands-on experience.
Carpentry is the backbone of a well-maintained home. It's the trim that frames a room, the doors that swing cleanly, the cabinets that close properly, the windows that keep out the draft, and the fences that define the yard. When any of it is off — a door that sticks, a cabinet that won't align, trim with a gap — the whole room feels it.
We handle the full range of residential carpentry: custom trim and baseboards, interior door hanging, cabinet door repair and adjustments, windows, fences,shelving, framing, and small builds. Often a repair is all that's needed — a hinge reset, a realignment, a re-hang — rather than a full replacement.
For small custom builds like shelving, built-in storage, or trim box-outs, send photos and a description and we can talk through what's feasible. Clean, tight joints and a proper reveal are the standard on every carpentry job.

Things Madison-Area Homeowners Should Know
Repair before replace. Cabinet doors, windows, and fences often need a repair rather than a full replacement. We'll tell you which makes sense.
Older homes shift. Dane County's older homes settle, so doors stick and trim gaps open up. We adjust to the house as it is now, not as it was built.
Small builds welcome. Shelving, built-ins, and trim box-outs are all in scope. Send a description and we'll talk feasibility.
Photos get you started. Pictures of the area and a quick description are usually enough for an estimate.
