Basement Finishing Carpentry for Lake Forest, Illinois homes
Basements are framed differently than the rest of the house. Everything sits on concrete, nothing is square, and the ceiling is full of things that can't move.
Lake Forest's older homes come with trim profiles that haven't been stocked in decades, so matching is half the job. Whichever it turns out to be, the carpenter who prices your Lake Forest job is the one who shows up to do it.
We handle the carpentry side of a basement: partition framing, soffits, door installation, stair trim, baseboard and casing, and any built-ins or storage under the stairs.
