Finish Carpentry in St. Louis, Done Right.
Serving St. Louis city and the close-in suburbs.
I hang interior and exterior doors, run crown molding and trim, build stair railings, and install cabinets. One door or a whole house of trim, every job gets the same care.
I've been a finish carpenter for 20 years, and I do the work myself. I work directly with you, and your job never gets handed off to a subcontractor.
