Local carpentry rewards a contractor who knows how New England houses are actually built — settled floors, plaster walls and additions layered on over a century. CB Carpentry works across Massachusetts on both new construction and older homes, matching profiles, scribing to out-of-square walls and leaving joints that stay tight through the seasons.

Rough carpentry is the structural work everything else is built onto — the walls, floors and roof planes that decide whether a house sits square for the next fifty years. It covers new framing, additions, dormers, load-bearing alterations, and the sheathing and subfloor that tie the structure together.
Finish carpentry is the visible layer — the profiles, reveals and returns people run a hand along without thinking about them. It covers crown and base, casing around doors and windows, panelling and rails, and the scribing and coping needed to make new trim sit tight against old, out-of-square walls.
Cabinetry runs from setting and levelling pre-manufactured kitchen runs to designing integrated storage that fits an awkward wall, alcove or stairwell. It covers kitchen installation, custom built-ins such as bookshelves, media walls and window seats, closet systems and pantry shelving, all measured to the room rather than to a catalogue.
Exterior carpentry has to survive weather, so flashing, drainage, fastener choice and end-grain sealing matter more than they do indoors. The work covers new decks and deck repair, pergolas and gazebos, fencing and gates, wood siding, and the soffit and fascia that protect the roof edge.
A door that sticks, drags or swings open on its own is almost always a hanging problem rather than a door problem. This category covers interior door hanging, exterior and entry door installation, window frame installation, replacement of rotted window components, and the hardware that decides how a door feels every day.
Flooring and stairs are the two places where carpentry is under load and under inspection at the same time. The work covers solid and engineered hardwood installation, new staircase construction with treads, risers and stringers cut to the actual rise of the house, and balustrade work including handrails, spindles and newel posts.

Short answers to the questions homeowners ask before they call a carpenter.
Doors that no longer latch, trim pulling away from the wall, soft spots underfoot, gaps opening at mitred corners and stair treads that flex are all signals that something structural or dimensional has moved. A carpenter can tell the difference between cosmetic movement and a framing issue before it becomes an expensive repair.
Older New England housing stock brings settled floors, out-of-square openings, discontinued trim profiles and layers of paint that hide original detail. Matching new work to existing conditions takes scribing, custom profiles and patience rather than off-the-shelf lengths.
Carpentry is one of the few trades where the quality of the work stays visible for the life of the building. A professional sets out the job, checks for plumb and square before anything is fixed, and details joints so they hold as materials expand and contract through the seasons.
