finish carpenter

Molding installation specialist

A finish carpenter specializes in the final visible woodwork of a building—trim, molding, cabinetry, doors, and staircases.

Unlike rough carpenters who frame structures, finish carpenters focus on precision and appearance: We hired a finish carpenter to install the crown molding.

The work requires exactness since joints and surfaces remain exposed.
