Finish carpentry and Custom Built-Ins
Add Functional Storage With Custom Built Ins
APS Construction Services, LLC provides finish carpentry and custom built-ins for residential properties, creating storage and display solutions tailored to specific rooms and needs.

Your home may lack adequate storage or have awkward spaces that standard furniture cannot fill effectively, leaving you with clutter or wasted square footage. Custom built ins address these gaps by fitting precisely into available space, providing shelving, cabinetry, and display areas that work with your room layout instead of forcing compromises with freestanding pieces that never quite fit right.

APS Construction Services, LLC handles finish carpentry and custom built-ins that includes bookcases, entertainment centers, window seats, closet organizers, mudroom benches, and home office cabinetry. The work involves measuring exact dimensions, selecting materials that match existing trim and finishes, and installing units that attach securely to wall framing for long-term stability. Whether you need a single accent piece or a full wall of integrated storage, the carpentry is planned around how you intend to use the space once the built in is complete. We also specialize in Doors and Custom trim installation, Custom wall paneling, and Coffered ceiling installation.

What Custom Carpentry Delivers Beyond Off-Shelf Furniture

Custom built in work begins with measuring the space, locating wall studs, and confirming that electrical outlets or switches will not interfere with placement. APS Construction Services, LLC builds units to fit exact dimensions, which eliminates gaps, avoids baseboards that interrupt alignment, and creates a finished appearance that looks intentional rather than improvised. We also specialize in Doors and Custom trim installation, Custom wall paneling, and Coffered ceiling installation.

Once installed, you will see storage that reaches from floor to ceiling without wasted vertical space, shelves sized to hold your actual belongings instead of generic depths that do not quite work, and trim details that match existing woodwork so the built in looks original to the house. Units remain stable without wobbling, doors and drawers operate smoothly, and finishes hold up under regular use without chipping or warping.

Custom built in projects typically take one to three weeks depending on complexity and size, though intricate designs, specialty wood species, or custom staining extend that timeline. Work is completed on-site with cutting, fitting, and finishing done in your home, which produces some dust and noise during installation. The goal is always to deliver carpentry that functions well and integrates seamlessly with your existing space rather than looking like an obvious addition made after the house was built.

You May Be Wondering About These Details

Homeowners considering custom built ins often ask about design options, material choices, and how the finished product will perform compared to freestanding furniture they could buy instead.

What makes custom built ins worth the cost compared to ready-made furniture?
Custom built ins fit your exact space, match your home's existing trim and style, and attach directly to wall framing for stability that freestanding furniture cannot match. They also maximize usable storage by eliminating gaps and wasted space that occur when standard furniture does not fit room dimensions.
How do you match new built ins to existing woodwork?
APS Construction Services, LLC uses wood species, stain colors, and trim profiles that match your existing baseboards, door casings, and other millwork. Samples are compared before final finishing to ensure the new built in blends with surrounding elements rather than standing out as mismatched.
What wood types work best for built in cabinetry?
Hardwoods like oak, maple, and cherry provide durability and take stain evenly, while paint-grade options like poplar offer smooth surfaces for painted finishes. Your choice depends on whether you want stained wood grain visible or a painted finish that matches wall colors.
Why does custom carpentry take longer than expected?
Accurate measuring, precise cutting, fitting pieces to walls that may not be perfectly straight, and applying multiple finish coats all require time. Rushing carpentry leads to gaps, misalignment, and finishes that look uneven, so adequate time is built into the schedule to ensure quality results.
When should I add built ins during home renovation?
Built ins are best installed after drywall, painting, and flooring are complete but before furniture is moved into the room. This timing allows access for installation without damaging finished surfaces while ensuring the built in integrates cleanly with surrounding finishes.
