six things
we're good at.

What we build

Six ways we put wood to work.

No. 01

Rough Framing

New construction and structural framing, cut and set the way it should be: plumb, square, and on schedule.

  • Floor & wall systems
  • Roof framing & trusses
  • Engineered lumber & LVL
  • Shear wall installation
No. 02

Finish Carpentry

The detail work that a house is judged by: tight miters, clean returns, nothing you'd notice unless it were wrong.

  • Crown & base molding
  • Wainscoting & paneling
  • Stair details & railings
  • Hardwood built-up trim
No. 03

Custom Built-Ins

Cabinetry and millwork made for your walls, not a warehouse aisle: it looks like it was always there.

  • Bookcases & window seats
  • Mudroom & entry benches
  • Closet & pantry systems
  • Media & fireplace surrounds
No. 04

Decks & Pergolas

Cedar and redwood structures built to take real weather and still look this good in ten years.

  • Elevated & ground-level decks
  • Pergolas & arbors
  • Rail systems & benches
  • Structural ledger & footing work
No. 05

Door & Trim Packages

Whole-house door and trim packages, hung and set so every door swings and latches the way it should.

  • Interior & exterior door hanging
  • Casing & baseboard packages
  • Hardware fitting
  • Whole-home trim consistency
No. 06

Seismic Strengthening Coordination

We build to your engineer's drawings and coordinate the carpentry side of a retrofit, in earthquake country.

  • Shear wall installation
  • Hold-down & framing hardware
  • Foundation bolting coordination
  • Engineer-stamped plans followed exactly

Our word

We believe a frame should stand quiet for a hundred years before anyone thinks to ask if it was built right. So we cut every joint tight, set every post plumb, and sign our name to work that outlives the crew that built it.

How it works

One crew, five steps, zero surprises.

Step oneWalk the site with us

A free on-site visit. We measure, listen to what you actually want, and give you a straight read on scope.

Step twoShop drawings & material order

Cut lists, lumber orders, and engineered lumber lead times locked in before a single stud gets cut.

Step threeFraming, with inspections on schedule

Plumb, square, and city-inspected at every milestone. Nothing gets closed up until it's signed off.

Step fourFinish carpentry & trim

The detail pass: doors hung, trim set, built-ins fitted tight to walls that are never quite square.

Step fiveWalkthrough & warranty

We punch-list together and back the work in writing after we leave the site.
