Bar cabinetry

Back bar, bottle storage and a counter detailed to survive spills, with the returns and the rail worked out for standing height.

Furniture-style carpentry on one of our Chicago jobs

Why this is worth doing properly

When nothing off the shelf fits the wall, alcove or use, the piece has to be built for it. Benches, desks, tables and cabinet-style furniture are fitted to the space down to the last fraction of an inch.

What you get from us

  • 01

    Your trim should fit the wall

    A wide bead of caulk shrinks, cracks and shows. We scribe the woodwork to the wall, then use caulk only to close the hairline that remains.

  • 02

    Your inside corners should stay closed

    An inside miter opens as the house moves through a Chicago winter. A coped joint closes on itself, keeping the corner tight instead of exposing a crack.

  • 03

    New work should match the house

    Many Chicago homes use trim profiles no longer found at a lumberyard. We match the existing profile, or tell you plainly when the nearest stock option will look wrong.

  • 04

    Small jobs are welcome

    One door, one railing, one room of trim. We quote the smaller jobs most carpenters pass over, and give them the same attention as a full-house trim package.
