Finish carpentry in Lynn, MA, from Diamond District Victorians to small mid-century homes: trim, mantels, built-ins and window seats.
The Diamond District's nomination catalogs Italianate, Second Empire, Stick and Colonial Revival houses, many with original trim and porch details. When a piece of that woodwork rots, we copy the profile and replace just the bad section instead of covering it over.
In a city where 87% of the housing predates 1980, rooms were rarely built around today's furniture. Built-ins, window seats and cabinet repair make older Lynn rooms work harder, and we finish them to match the trim that's already there.
