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.

Metal and Wood Stair Railing Remodel Project
A staircase is one of the most visible architectural features in any home — and outdated railings can make an otherwise beautiful interior feel tired. This Metal and Wood Stair Railing Remodel in Ken Caryl, Colorado is a perfect example of how targeted finish carpentry can completely transform a space without a full renovation.
What Changed
The existing railing system was removed and replaced entirely. In its place, Finish Carpenter LLC installed metal posts and balusters paired with a traditional red oak handrail — a combination that balances contemporary structure with warm, natural wood character. The contrast between the sleek metal and the rich grain of the oak creates a staircase that feels both modern and timeless.
Why Metal Balusters & Red Oak Work So Well Together
Metal balusters offer durability and a clean, open visual profile — allowing light to pass through and making the staircase feel less heavy. Meanwhile, the red oak handrail provides warmth and a tactile quality that metal alone cannot achieve. Together, they create a railing system that is as functional as it is visually striking.
Craftsmanship & Execution
Furthermore, precision matters on staircase work more than almost anywhere else in a home. Each baluster must be plumb, evenly spaced, and securely anchored. The oak handrail must follow the stair pitch smoothly, with transitions at the top and bottom executed cleanly. As a result, the finished staircase looks custom-built rather than assembled — which, of course, it was.
