Carpentry is where this business started.

Corey trained in carpentry at CVCEC in Ormstown before taking on general contracting, which is why cabinetry and millwork are built in-house here instead of ordered in and hoped for. It is also why the carpentry sets the standard for everything else on a job — if the boxes are square and the reveals are even, the tile and the paint have something honest to follow.

Made to measure matters most in old houses, and most of the houses around Hudson are old. Walls are rarely plumb, floors are rarely level and openings are rarely a catalogue dimension. Stock cabinetry answers that with filler panels and dead space. Building to the actual measurements answers it with usable storage.

Because the carpentry is ours, it can be scheduled against the rest of the work rather than around somebody else's lead time. One quote, one schedule, one point of contact.

What's included

What custom carpentry covers.

Scope varies by project. These are the elements most carpentry work involves — we'll confirm exactly what yours needs before quoting.

01 /

Kitchen and bathroom cabinetry

Cabinets, pantries, islands and vanities built to the run you actually have, with drawer and door hardware chosen to last.

02 /

Built-ins, shelving and storage

Bookcases, window seats, mudroom benches and closet systems fitted into the spaces a house already has.

03 /

Trim, mouldings and finish carpentry

Baseboards, casings, crown and panelling, including milling to match an original profile in an older home.

04 /

Stairs, railings and structural carpentry

Treads, risers, stringers and guards, plus framing changes where a renovation moves a wall or an opening.

05 /

Doors, windows and exterior carpentry

Hanging and trimming doors and windows, plus exterior trim, soffit and fascia work that has to survive the weather here.

Built together

Every detail matters—and so does every part of the experience.

How it works

From conversation to final walkthrough.

Four stages, with one point of contact throughout.

01 /

Conversation

We look at the space, talk through what it needs to hold or do, and measure what is actually there rather than what the plans say.

02 /

Plan and quote

Design, materials, hardware and finish are set out in a detailed quote, so what's included is clear before anything is cut.

03 /

Build

Boxes and millwork are built, then fitted and scribed on site, with the home protected and the site left tidy at the end of each day.

04 /

Handover

A walkthrough together, adjustment of doors and drawers after everything has settled, and any outstanding items closed out.

Common questions

Before you get in touch.

What counts as custom carpentry?

Anything built to fit your house rather than bought in a standard size: kitchen and bathroom cabinetry, pantries, islands, built-in shelving and benches, mudroom storage, trim and mouldings, stairs and railings. If it is made of wood and has to fit an opening that is not a catalogue dimension, it is carpentry work.

Is custom cabinetry more expensive than stock?

Usually yes on the invoice, and often not on the outcome. Stock cabinets come in fixed widths, so an awkward wall ends up with filler panels and dead space. Made-to-measure uses the full run, which in a small kitchen can be the difference between two usable drawers and none. We will tell you honestly where custom earns its cost and where stock is the sensible call.

Do you build on site or in a shop?

Both, depending on the piece. Cabinet boxes and millwork are built where the tools and the dust control are, then fitted and scribed on site. Trim, stairs and anything that has to follow an out-of-square wall in an older house gets cut in place.

Can you match existing trim or cabinetry in an older home?

In most cases, yes. Older profiles are often no longer stocked, so matching means milling to the original profile rather than finding the closest thing on a shelf. Bring us a short offcut if you have one — it makes the match far more exact.

Which areas do you serve?

Hudson, Saint-Lazare, Vaudreuil-Dorion, Rigaud and Pincourt. Just outside? Get in touch anyway.
