You’re tired of putting off that carpentry project. Whether it’s custom built-ins that finally give you the storage you need, trim work that makes your rooms look finished, or repairs that stop you from worrying about what’s getting worse behind the walls.
When the work is done right, you get to enjoy your space instead of stressing about it. No more avoiding that corner of the room or making excuses to guests. Just a home that works the way you want it to, with carpentry that holds up to daily life and looks good doing it.
The difference shows in the details—joints that stay tight, finishes that don’t chip after six months, and custom work that actually fits your space instead of looking like an afterthought.
We’ve been handling carpentry and interior renovations throughout Suffolk County since 2015. We know the ranch-style and hi-ranch homes that make up most of Brentwood’s housing stock, and we understand what these homes need to stay functional and valuable.
As a licensed contractor, we carry proper insurance and workers’ compensation coverage—something that matters when you’re letting people work in your home. We’ve built our reputation on transparent communication and honest pricing, which is why most of our work comes from referrals.
We specialize in interior carpentry, from custom built-ins and trim work to larger renovation projects that transform how you use your space.
First, we come look at your project and listen to what you want to accomplish. You’ll get a clear explanation of what needs to happen and an honest assessment of timeline and cost. No sales pressure, just information you can use to make a decision.
Once you move forward, we handle the permits if needed and coordinate the work to minimize disruption to your daily routine. We keep you informed about progress and any issues that come up—because things do come up, and you deserve to know about them.
The work gets done with attention to the details that matter: proper measurements, quality materials, and finishes that look intentional. We clean up as we go and do a final walkthrough to make sure everything meets our standards and yours.

We handle the full range of interior carpentry work that Brentwood homeowners need. Custom built-ins that maximize storage in ranch-style homes where every square foot counts. Crown molding, baseboards, and trim work that gives rooms a finished look. Kitchen and bathroom renovations that update outdated layouts.
We also handle the repair work that keeps homes in good shape—fixing damaged trim, replacing rotted window sills, and addressing the settling issues that are common in Suffolk County’s older housing stock. For homes built in the 1950s and 60s that make up much of Brentwood, this kind of maintenance carpentry prevents small problems from becoming expensive ones.
We understand local building codes and work with the permits process when needed. We know which materials hold up best in Long Island’s climate and which approaches work best for the foundation types common in the area.
Carpentry costs in Brentwood vary significantly based on the scope of work, materials chosen, and complexity of the project. Simple trim work might run $8-15 per linear foot, while custom built-ins can range from $150-400 per linear foot depending on design and materials.
For larger projects like kitchen renovations or room additions, costs depend on factors like structural work needed, electrical and plumbing requirements, and finish level. We provide detailed estimates that break down labor, materials, and any additional costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for.
The key is getting accurate measurements and clear specifications upfront. Vague estimates often lead to surprise costs later, which is why we take time to understand your project thoroughly before providing pricing.
Suffolk County requires permits for most structural carpentry work, electrical modifications, and plumbing changes. Simple repairs like replacing trim or fixing cabinets typically don’t need permits, but anything involving framing, load-bearing walls, or major alterations does.
Kitchen and bathroom renovations almost always require permits, especially if you’re moving plumbing or electrical. Room additions, dormers, and deck construction definitely need permits and inspections. The permit process protects you by ensuring work meets current building codes and safety standards.
We handle permit applications when needed and coordinate inspections. We know Suffolk County’s requirements and work with local building departments regularly. Trying to skip permits on work that requires them can create problems when you sell your home or file insurance claims.
Project timelines depend on scope, complexity, and material availability. Simple trim work or cabinet repairs might take 1-3 days. Custom built-ins or kitchen renovations typically take 2-4 weeks. Larger projects like room additions or whole-home renovations can take 6-12 weeks or more.
Weather affects exterior work, and material delays can impact any project. We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated if circumstances change. We schedule work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
The key is proper planning and communication. Rushing carpentry work leads to mistakes and callbacks. Taking time to do it right the first time actually saves time overall and ensures you’re happy with the results for years to come.
Rough carpentry involves structural work—framing walls, installing floor joists, building the skeleton of additions or renovations. This work gets covered up by drywall and flooring, so precision in appearance isn’t critical, but structural integrity is essential.
Finish carpentry is the visible work—trim, moldings, built-ins, cabinets, and detailed woodwork. This requires precision in measurements, joints, and appearance because it’s what you see every day. Finish carpenters need different skills and tools than rough carpenters.
We handle both types of work, which is valuable for renovation projects that need structural changes and beautiful finishes. Having one contractor coordinate both phases prevents communication problems and ensures the rough work supports the finish work properly.
Start by verifying licensing and insurance. Suffolk County requires home improvement contractor licenses, and you want someone with current workers’ compensation and liability coverage. Ask to see certificates and verify them directly with insurance companies.
Get detailed written estimates from at least three contractors. Compare not just prices but what’s included—materials, labor, cleanup, permits, and timeline. Be wary of estimates that are significantly higher or lower than others without clear explanations.
Check references from recent projects similar to yours. Drive by completed work if possible. Good contractors are proud to show their work and provide customer references. Trust your instincts about communication and professionalism—you’ll be working with this person for weeks or months.
A professional consultation involves measuring your space, discussing your goals and budget, and explaining options for materials and approaches. The contractor should ask about your timeline, how you use the space, and any concerns about the existing structure.
You should get clear information about what’s involved in your project, potential challenges, and realistic timelines. Good contractors explain the permit process if needed and discuss how they’ll protect your home and belongings during work.
We provide free consultations that include honest assessments of your project. We explain what’s possible within your budget and suggest alternatives if your initial plan isn’t feasible. You’ll leave understanding your options and what to expect if you move forward.
