Shoe racks

Angled or flat, sized to the shoes rather than to a nominal depth, and placed so the door still closes.

Closets and storage on one of our Chicago jobs

Why this is worth doing properly

Your storage should fit what you own and use the space you actually have. We build into reach-ins, walk-ins, knee walls and the awkward void beneath the stairs that stock systems waste.

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.
