Finish carpentry built to your rooms
Carpentry services in Eden Prairie mostly mean finish work: turning a blank wall into floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, replacing worn stair carpet with wood treads, hanging a sliding barn door, adding wainscoting to a plain entry, or running crown molding through a room that never had it. Our craftsmen measure in place, build to the room rather than to a catalog size, and scribe the last pieces to walls that are rarely as straight as the plans say. Every job carries our one-year written workmanship guarantee. Call (952) 563-8484 to start.
Houses from the 1980s and 1990s, which make up much of Eden Prairie, Chanhassen and Eagan, often have exactly the trim package the builder chose and nothing more: narrow casing, plain baseboard, carpeted stairs and wire shelving. Painted built-ins, wider casings and real wood stair treads are the upgrades that change how those rooms feel without the cost of a remodel.
Outside, carpentry means the trim that keeps water out: fascia, window and door trim, column wraps and soffits. In our climate, rotted exterior trim is not a cosmetic problem. Every board that lets water in makes the next winter worse.
What we build
Carpentry projects
Built-in bookshelves and cabinets
Library walls, window seats, pantry cabinets, media walls and niches, painted or stained to match the room.
Stair treads and railings
Carpeted stairs converted to wood treads with painted risers, loose balusters replaced, and new handrails added.
Barn doors and interior doors
Sliding barn doors on track hardware, new prehung doors, and old doors trimmed and rehung so they close and latch.
Wainscoting and accent walls
Board and batten, picture-frame molding and shiplap for entries, dining rooms, stairwells and basements.
Crown molding and casing
Crown, baseboard and window casing installed with coped inside corners and tight miters, plus damaged trim repaired.
Exterior trim
Rotted fascia, window trim, soffits and column wraps replaced, including low-maintenance PVC trim where wood keeps failing.
Built to the room you actually have
Signs it is time
When trim and woodwork need attention
Gaps at corners and joints
Open miters and gaps between trim and wall usually come from seasonal movement. Recaulking and resetting the trim closes them.
Soft or swollen exterior trim
If a screwdriver sinks into fascia or window trim, it is rotting, and water is getting behind it.
Loose stair parts
Balusters that rattle or a handrail that moves are a safety issue, especially on stairs used every day.
Doors that will not latch
A door that has to be pushed or lifted to latch has usually sagged on its hinges or swollen, and can almost always be fixed.

Materials
Paint-grade, stain-grade or PVC
Paint-grade wood and MDF
The usual choice for painted built-ins and trim. MDF stays flat and takes paint smoothly, while poplar holds up better where it will get knocked.
Stain-grade hardwood
Oak, maple and other hardwoods for stained built-ins, stair treads and handrails that should show the grain.
PVC trim
For exterior trim that keeps rotting. It does not absorb water, takes paint well, and outlasts wood in spots that stay damp.
Cost
What affects the cost of carpentry
Size and complexity
A single niche costs far less than a wall of built-ins with doors, drawers and lighting.
Materials
Paint-grade materials cost less than stain-grade hardwood, and custom profiles cost more than stock trim.
Finishing
Prime and paint or stain adds time, but it means the project is finished rather than handed to a second contractor.
Condition of the walls
Very uneven walls and floors take more scribing and shimming to get a tight fit.
