Your finish package, handled.

We take the whole finish package off your plate — cabinets through crown — and turn it over on schedule and punch-light. Built for builders running real pipelines.

Residential & Commercial

One crew, both markets.

Custom homes or commercial buildouts. Here’s how we work on each.

The Problem

Finish is where jobs slip.

  • Finish runs last, so when it slips the whole closeout slips with it. It's also the work the client stares at hardest.
  • Running separate subs for cabinets, stairs, and trim means you're coordinating three schedules that don't answer to each other.
  • A long punch list on finish work drags out your closeout and eats into the margin.
  • When the quality changes crew to crew, every house in the pipeline is a fresh gamble.

How We Work With Builders

One sub you can actually rely on.

We own the scope

One crew runs the whole finish package, cabinets through crown. Nothing falls between subs, because there's only one sub.

We bid to plan

Send the plans and the finish schedule and we bid to scope, itemized, so you can see line by line what we're covering.

We hold the schedule

We commit to a window and show up for it, and we stay on top of our end of the closeout and billing so we're never the part that holds things up. We keep you posted while we're on the job, so you can book us and go run the rest of the house.

Punch-light, broom-clean

We leave a short punch list, and before we pull off we go room by room: sweep the sawdust, pick up the cut shims and multi-tool blades and wrappers, stack the leftover material out of the way, and keep the finished floors covered. Homeowners judge the whole build on how tidy the site is, and a clean sub reflects well on the builder who hired him.

Capacity for your pipeline

We run several jobs at once and hold the same standard on each. What makes it repeat is the system behind it: the same installation process on every cabinet set and every trim package, so putting us on a pipeline gets you the same work house after house.

Founder-led standard

Nicholas Dunn sets the standard every job is held to, and it doesn't change from one house to the next.

On The Job

Real work, on a real site.

No stock footage. That’s a real finish package going in on a job we ran. We left the site swept and clean when we pulled off.

In Detail

What handing us the finish package actually gets you.

The whole finish package means the cabinets, trim, stairs, and millwork all run by one crew instead of three subs pointing at each other. You hand us the plans and the finish schedule, we bid the scope, and from there it’s one number, one schedule, and one crew on the hook for how the finish comes out. When the client walks the house, the trim, the cabinets, and the stairs all match, because the same hands set them.

A system that runs the same on every job

What keeps the work consistent house after house is the process behind it. We cast a level line around a room and set every cabinet run to it. We find the high point of the floor and set the base off that so nothing leans. Inside corners on trim get coped so they stay tight when the house moves, outside miters get glued and pinned, and cabinet crown gets cut at 45s and glued at the returns. Fillers and panels get scribed to walls that are never quite straight. It runs the same on a spec house and a custom one, so a builder who puts us on a pipeline knows what shows up.

Never the sub that holds up your closeout

Finish runs last, so when it drags, your closeout drags with it. Good finish work at a pace that holds the schedule is a high bar, and a lot of subs only manage one or the other. We commit to a window and show up for it, keep our end of the paperwork and billing moving, and price change orders up front instead of sitting on them, so you’re not calling around to find out where we are.

We leave it clean for the client walk

Before we pull off a job we go room by room: sweep the sawdust, pick up the cut shims and blades and wrappers, and stack any leftover material out of the way, with the finished floors covered while we work. A homeowner judges the whole build on how tidy the site is, so a clean finish sub is one less thing for you to answer for. We leave a short punch list and a house the client can walk.

Why builders trust us

The proof a GC actually wants.

We’re licensed and insured, and you can have the certificate before we’re on the job. The portfolio’s there to look through, and we’ll hand you references from builders we already run with. Good finish work that also keeps the job moving is a high bar, and a lot of subs manage one or the other; holding both is what we’re built to do. We’re a quality-first sub, not the low bid, and the builders on our list want it that way. Every job is held to the founder’s standard, so the work holds from one house to the next.
