What Exactly Is Finish Carpentry?

Want to Ensure Your New House Is Finished to a High Quality?

Finish carpentry is usually done at the end of a construction job, which is why it is known as finishing. Basically, it will include carpentry that will be seen when a project is done. This is in vast contrast with rough carpentry, which will be covered during the construction process. This kind of carpentry calls for special skills and an excellent eye for detail, which makes experienced finish carpenters in high demand.

Building or remodeling a building is generally done in stages. At every stage, a different professional will be used. This ensures the work is done correctly and will protect the structural integrity of a building. Finish carpenters are brought in at the end of a job when everything is done and installed, and the time has come to apply the last details. They will ensure everything is finished properly, and the project will look aesthetically pleasing to the new owners.

Finish carpentry ranges from molding, trim, and installation of drawer pulls, doorknobs, etc. It can at times also include roofing, installing the finishing touches upon the roof like trims and gutters. Basically, should it be visible, it is said to be finish carpentry. It consists of all the finer details which people will see when looking at a building.

As with traditional carpenters, finish carpenters must also be competent builders, however, they will also need to possess aesthetic skills. They have been able to install items accurately, as they will be seen constantly. Things such as matching colors, shapes, sizes, and designs are important. When these don’t match in rough carpentry, it’s not an issue, as long as they are done properly. However, when they don’t match with finishing carpentry, it will be a major issue. For instance, the baseboards on a wall are smaller than the ones on the opposite wall, this will be a glaring and irritating issue.
