Carpentry

Framing, trim, built-ins and custom woodwork by qualified finish carpenters — the trade that gives a remodel its structure and its finishing polish.

Carpentry by The J Hammer Inc in the Los Angeles area

From rough framing to finish detail

Carpentry runs the whole length of a construction project — the framing that gives a room its shape and the trim, doors and built-ins that make it feel finished. The J Hammer’s carpenters handle both ends, so the bones are square and the details are crisp.

What we build

  • Framing — walls, openings, headers and structural framing for remodels and additions.
  • Finish carpentry — baseboards, crown, casing, wainscoting and clean door installs.
  • Built-ins — custom closets, media walls, shelving, benches and bookcases.
  • Exterior carpentry — pergolas, patio-cover structures, decking and gates.

Why it matters

Trim is where a remodel either reads as custom or reads as builder-grade. Tight miters, consistent reveals, and casing that lines up across a room are small things the eye adds up into “quality.” And framing that is square and plumb is what lets every trade after it — drywall, tile, cabinets — go in clean. We treat both with the same care.

Part of the bigger project

Carpentry rarely stands alone — it is the connective tissue of a remodel, addition or outdoor build. Because we are a full general contractor, our carpenters work in step with the rest of the crew, so framing, drywall, paint and trim all agree.

Carpentry FAQs

Do you do custom built-ins?
Yes — custom closets, media walls, shelving, benches and bookcases, designed to fit your space and finished to match your trim.
Can you build a pergola or patio cover?
Yes. Our carpenters build pergolas, patio-cover structures and decks on proper footings — see our decks, patios & covers page.
Do you handle framing for remodels and additions?
Yes — walls, openings, headers and structural framing, built square and plumb so every trade after it goes in clean.
Is carpentry priced separately?
It is usually part of a larger remodel or build scope; standalone trim, built-ins and outdoor carpentry are quoted on their own. We spell it out in the written scope.
