Rough & Finished Carpentry
HandyCraft Seattle’s Rough & Finished Carpentry service covers everything from structural framing and sheathing to the precision installation of trim, moldings, and built-in cabinetry, ensuring both strength and aesthetic appeal in every project. Our team combines the foundational support work of rough carpentry with the artisan details of finish carpentry to deliver turnkey woodwork solutions tailored to your home.
What Is Rough & Finished Carpentry?
Rough carpentry establishes your home’s skeletal structure—installing framing, blocking, and sheathing that form a safe, stable base for all subsequent trades. Finished carpentry adds the final touches—baseboards, crown moldings, door and window casings, built-in shelving, and other trim work that make your space look polished and complete.
