About Our Carpentry Services

Expert carpentry is the foundation of quality construction, and at Chris Construction Co, our master carpenters bring decades of combined experience to every project throughout Upstate New York. We provide comprehensive carpentry services ranging from structural framing to intricate finish work, custom cabinetry, and detailed trim installations. Whether your project requires rough carpentry for new construction or precise finish carpentry for renovation work, our skilled craftsmen deliver superior results that stand the test of time.

Our carpentry services encompass all aspects of wood construction and woodworking. For structural work, we handle complete framing packages including floor systems, wall framing, roof framing, and load-bearing modifications. We work with both traditional dimensional lumber and modern engineered wood products, selecting the appropriate materials based on span requirements, load calculations, and project specifications. Our framers are experienced with complex roof systems including hip roofs, valleys, dormers, and cathedral ceilings, ensuring structural integrity and proper ventilation.

Detailed Carpentry Information

Our Approach & Expertise

Finish carpentry is where craftsmanship truly shines, and our team excels at transforming rough spaces into beautiful finished rooms. We install crown molding, baseboards, chair rails, wainscoting, and decorative trim with precise mitered joints and seamless connections. Our attention to detail ensures trim work is perfectly level, corners are crisp, and reveals are consistent throughout. We work with a variety of materials including paint-grade poplar and MDF, stain-grade oak, maple, cherry, and exotic hardwoods, always selecting the appropriate material for your design vision and budget.

Custom cabinetry and built-in furniture are among our specialties. We design and build custom kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, entertainment centers, bookcases, window seats, and closet systems tailored precisely to your space and needs. Unlike mass-produced cabinets with standard sizes and limited options, our custom cabinetry maximizes your available space and incorporates the exact features, finish, and hardware you desire. We use premium cabinet-grade plywood, solid hardwoods, and quality hardware to ensure durability and smooth operation for years to come.

Door and window installation and repair are core carpentry skills we perform expertly. We install new interior and exterior doors, ensuring proper fit, smooth operation, and weathertight seals. We're experienced with standard pre-hung doors, custom doors, pocket doors, barn doors, and French doors. Our window installation services include proper flashing, insulation, and sealing to prevent air and water infiltration while ensuring smooth operation and longevity.

Quality & Craftsmanship

Deck and porch construction showcase our outdoor carpentry expertise. We build custom decks using pressure-treated lumber, cedar, composite materials, and PVC decking, incorporating features like multi-levels, built-in seating, pergolas, and custom railings. Our structures are built to code with proper ledger attachment, adequate footings, and appropriate joist spacing for safety and durability. We understand Upstate New York's climate demands and build outdoor structures that withstand freeze-thaw cycles, snow loads, and weather extremes.

For renovation and restoration projects, we excel at matching existing carpentry work. Whether replicating historic molding profiles, extending existing trim, or repairing damaged woodwork, our craftsmen have the skills and patience to create seamless results. We maintain a library of common molding profiles and can create custom knives to match unique existing trim.

We use professional-grade tools and equipment including laser levels, precision miter saws, cabinet-grade table saws, and pneumatic nailers to ensure accuracy and efficiency. Our carpenters stay current with modern building techniques and products while maintaining traditional hand-tool skills for specialty work.

Materials & Methods

Quality materials are essential to quality carpentry. We source lumber and materials from reputable suppliers, personally selecting boards when possible to ensure straightness, appropriate moisture content, and minimal defects. We understand wood movement and grain orientation, important considerations for long-lasting installations.

Every carpentry project receives meticulous attention to detail. We take pride in our work and treat your property with respect, maintaining clean work areas and protecting finished surfaces. Our carpenters are professional, reliable, and committed to excellence.

Whether you need a small repair, custom built-ins, or complete rough and finish carpentry for a major project, Chris Construction Co delivers the skill, experience, and craftsmanship you deserve.
