Doors & Moldings

Precision Mortising and Flood-Cut Baseboards

In established homes, installing a pre-hung door unit often means tearing off existing casing, cutting into finished drywall, and dealing with an out-of-square rough opening. We take a cleaner route by custom mortising new slab doors directly to your existing jambs, saving your wall finishes and keeping the project contained.

Matching Existing Jambs: We measure existing hinge pockets and strike plate heights down to 1/16-inch, hand-routing hinge gains on raw slab doors so they swing true without binding.
Flood-Cut Baseboard Replacement: After lower-wall water damage repairs, we install replacement baseboards nailed directly into wall plates and studs, scribing profiles tight to uneven floors.
Clean Painter-Grade Caulking: We fill all nail holes with non-shrinking filler, caulk top edges with elastomeric sealant, and apply smooth trim enamel coats for a continuous finish.

Finish Carpentry & Millwork

Staircase Restoration, Built-In Shelving & Structural Backing

Architectural millwork requires precise scribing, level framing, and proper protective finishing. Rather than tearing out weathered woodwork, we restore custom hardwoods on site and craft seamless built-in storage tailored directly to your home's layout across Cumberland, Hoke, and Moore Counties.

Stairs, Treads & Railings: We sand oak treads, risers, turned balusters, and continuous handrails down to bare grain, applying penetrating stain and heavy-traffic polyurethane clear coats.
Recessed Nooks & Built-In Shelving: We frame and install recessed bookshelves, display nooks, and closet shelving units cased cleanly with mitered trim that integrates flush with finished drywall.
Solid Wall Backing & Blocking: Before hanging sheetrock, we install solid dimensional wood framing between wall studs to anchor floating vanities, heavy bathroom mirrors, and shelving securely.
Custom Casing & Trim Integration: All interior woodwork is hand-profiled, countersunk, filled, and sealed with flexible caulk before receiving durable trim enamel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Direct answers on slab door mortising, flood-cut baseboard timing, and porch enclosures.

Why do you mortise slab doors instead of installing pre-hung units?

Pre-hung doors require tearing off surrounding casing, pulling the old jamb, and often damaging adjacent drywall. If your existing door frames are solid and square, we simply take a raw slab door, trace the exact hinge and latch positions, and hand-route new mortises. The door fits your existing jamb perfectly without tearing up your walls.

How do you handle baseboard replacement after drywall flood cuts?

Once lower-wall drywall is hung, taped, and mudded flat, we install new baseboards nailed directly into wall framing and bottom plates. We fill every nail hole, caulk the top edge against the wall to eliminate shadow gaps, and apply durable trim enamel so the transition looks completely original.

What is involved in refinishing a wooden staircase?

We thoroughly sand down the entire stair assembly—treads, risers, turned balusters, newel posts, and curved handrails—to remove old varnish and scuffs. We apply a fresh coat of wood stain to achieve the desired tone, followed by durable polyurethane coats to protect against foot traffic and deliver a clean shine.

Can you convert my existing covered concrete patio into a screened porch?

Yes. We frame the perimeter using 2x4 ground-contact lumber, install custom wood or vinyl baluster railings to your preference, wrap the structure in durable insect screening, and hang a heavy-duty storm door for sturdy, everyday use. Once framing lumber dries, we prime and paint the wood to match your home's exterior trim.

Why is solid backing necessary before drywall goes up?

Drywall anchors can pull loose under heavy loads. If you plan to install floating vanities, heavy bathroom mirrors, or custom shelving, we screw solid horizontal 2x4 blocking between the studs before hanging sheetrock. This ensures your cabinetry and shelving lag screws anchor into structural wood rather than hollow gypsum.
