Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Davyd and his team have been the best group I’ve worked with over my many years as a homeowner. They are skilled professionals with an artistic touch! We absolutely love our mudroom transformation!!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We feel lucky to have discovered Finish Carpenter. We moved into a new home from out of state and asked Davyd to bid several projects. He and his team proved to be incredibly professional, talented, and meticulous. Every thing they did in our home exceeded our expectations. We're so happy with the improvements they made that we've already started planning a few new projects for them. I would absolutely recommend Davyd and his team to anyone looking to have carpentry, construction, wood working, or painting done in their home.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Davyd and his team were easy to work with and they did an exceptional job with the beams project in my office. They worked quickly and kept everything very clean. The craftsmanship is excellent and I look forward to working with them again in the future. Thank you!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I recently bought a home with an early 2000s builder grade cutout in the living room and an asymmetrical fireplace that we’ve been wanting to change since we moved in. After talking to a woodworker and other contractors who couldn’t do what we envisioned within our budget, I decided to reach out to Finish Carpenter. Within days of contacting David, we had our EXACT vision for a bookcase and remodeled mantel custom built ready for us to enjoy. We were blown away by the craftsmanship and efficiency. We’re already thinking of other projects for David’s team to help us with in the future.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Eli added a beautiful beam plus tongue and groove pine to our large great room ceiling. His work is high quality. He takes pride in doing it right and making his customers happy. Eli communicated well in the initial planning and also kept me aware of progress. He and his crew were respectful of our home, taking care to cover floors and clean up at the end of each day. The overall experience working with him was excellent. I highly recommend him.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Eli Interiors does amazing work. Every interior door, every inch of baseboard and every inch of casing in the house was replaced. Also, several new exterior windows and doors were trimmed out and a vaulted ceiling was installed in white pine. Every cut is precise and perfect and Eli's attention to detail is unmatched. He also did demolition of our kitchen and his careful attention to detail really paid off there, too. He precisely and carefully demo'd the kitchen. And Eli is just a pleasure to work with. Good humored and smart and, above all, complete honesty and integrity. A rare combination of traits in this business. 100% recommended.

They created two custom built-in bookcases and then I asked them to make three custom jersey cases. They coordinated with other contractors for drywall repair, electrical, and painting. I highly recommend them for your project.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These custom cabinets provided space for my collection of cookbooks and vintage fabric. A perfect combination of form and function which blends with the details of the home. Excellent craftsmanship.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Eli was great. He replaced baseboards, trim, installed new closet doors (the old ones were broken), vent covers, a cabinet. He has really good attention to detail, thinks through the projects to ensure everything functions and aesthetically looks good. He is a thorough cleaner... each day, it was like he was never there. This was incredibly helpful as I have three kids and he was working around them (bless his soul) for several days. Very patient and kind.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Davyd and his team at Finish Carpenter did a great job installing crown molding and a custom wood hood in the kitchen. The job they did looks fantastic and I highly recommend them.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

Fireplace Surrounds Installation & Trim Work
A fireplace serves as the centerpiece of any living room, combining warmth and style. For this project in Englewood, our client requested a classic traditional fireplace surround with a custom mantel and pilasters. The goal was to create a timeless feature that would complement the room’s architecture and provide a functional surface for décor.
Our team at Finish Carpenter LLC designed and installed a mantel shelf above the fireplace, ensuring depth and proportion to anchor the space. Below the shelf, crown molding trim was added, providing a detailed finish that enhances the overall elegance. The mantel projects outward slightly, creating a natural platform for decorative accents.
Two vertical pilasters were installed on either side of the fireplace. Each pilaster features fluted detailing, adding vertical lines and shadow depth, which enhances the classic aesthetic. The pilasters rest on solid plinth bases, balancing proportions and integrating seamlessly with the ceiling trim and crown molding.
The entire surround was prepped for a smooth paint-grade finish. After sanding and caulking, a uniform coat of paint was applied, highlighting the fluting and trim work while giving the fireplace a polished, clean appearance.
This installation demonstrates how careful design, quality materials, and expert craftsmanship can turn a standard fireplace into a striking architectural feature. The result is a classic traditional fireplace surround that elevates both the room’s style and functionality.
