What Cale does

Carpentry first. The rest of the house too.

Custom woodwork is what Cale goes for. Floors, bathrooms and framing come with it, so a room can be finished by the same pair of hands that built it.

Wood floors

New hardwood laid, and old floors sanded and finished until the grain shows again.

Ask about a floor

Bathrooms

Showers and baths redone: the surround, the glass, and a seat or grab bars where you need them.

Framing & repairs

Walls framed and roof trusses set, plus porch beams, window trim and the fixes on your list.

Ask about framing
Small jobs. Bigger possibilities.

From one window to the whole roof.

It's the line on Cale's card. Three of his jobs, from a single window to the framing of a house.

A dormer window trimmed out in white, with horizontal boards below the sill
A small jobOne dormer window, trimmed out, with boards run below the sill.
A shower with a sliding glass door, corner shelves and a grab bar in a gray surround
A roomA shower put in, with a sliding glass door, corner shelves and a grab bar.
Roof trusses set over new wall framing, sunlight through the gaps and a stepladder on the deck
A whole houseRoof trusses going up over new framing.

Most jobs land in between. A basement to finish, a floor and the trim around it, a bathroom and a few repairs: tick everything on the form and it reaches Cale as one job.

Questions

Before you call Cale.

What counts as custom carpentry?
Woodwork made for one room: built-in shelves and bookcases, accent walls in shiplap or paneling, the trim around windows, doors and stairs, and wood floors. It's measured to your walls and built to fit them, not bought in a box to almost fit.
I have a picture of what I want. Is that enough to start?
That's the best start. Send it, a link works too, with a photo of the wall or room it's for and the rough size. Cale can tell you what it takes to build it in your space.
Do you put in new floors or refinish old ones?
Both. Tell Cale what's down now (old hardwood, carpet over wood, vinyl) and what you'd like, and he'll say whether it's a new floor or a sand and refinish.
Can you do a whole bathroom or a basement?
Tick everything on your list in the form. Bathrooms, floors, framing and trim are all work Cale does, so he can look at the whole job instead of one piece of it.
Is my job too small?
"Small jobs. Bigger possibilities." is on his card. A window to trim out, a porch beam to replace, a few repairs on a list: send it over.
How much will it cost?
It comes down to the size, the wood and finish you pick, and what has to come out first. Send what you have in mind with a few photos, and Cale will come back with questions or a price.
Can I talk to someone you've worked for?
Yes. Cale has references, and more photos of past work, available. Ask for them when you call or send your request.
