Carpentry & Built-Ins for Peabody homes.
Peabody was once one of the world's great leather producers, the city's housing plan notes, and the older homes near downtown come from that working era. They have their own trim profiles, and we match what's there rather than mixing styles.
Houses from the 1940 to 1970 boom can be short on storage. Built-ins, window seats and closet carpentry earn their keep in those rooms, and cabinet repair is a good middle path when a whole new kitchen isn't in the budget.
