Finish carpentry for builders in Knoxville.

Finish carpentry across the whole Knoxville market

Knoxville is our home base, and it's the widest market we work. In a given month we're setting cabinets in a West Knox custom home off the Farragut corridor, running crown through a Sequoyah Hills or Bearden remodel, and casing doors on a Hardin Valley or Northshore new build, with a downtown or Old North Knoxville renovation waiting its turn. The finish is the part of a house a buyer walks up and looks at, so builders here hold it to a high bar in every one of those neighborhoods. Trim and finish carpentry is all Dunn Trim Co. installs. We don't run the other trades.

One install crew for the whole finish package

Hand us the whole package on a Knoxville build and one crew covers it instead of four separate subs. We set cabinet installation flat and plumb, run moulding and trim tight, build stairs that don't move underfoot, and handle the built-ins, beams, paneling, shiplap, interior doors, and the odd custom piece that comes with the job. We bid it to the scope you send, hold the schedule window we give you, and leave a short punch list for the walkthrough. A production build in Hardin Valley and a lakeside custom off Northshore get the same install standard, because in a resale market like Knox County the trim is a big part of what a custom home is worth.

Built for Knoxville builders — and the people they work with

Most of our work comes through general contractors and custom builders running jobs across Knox County, and we're set up to fall into a builder's schedule without a lot of hand-holding. We also install for cabinet shops that need a hanging crew, for interior designers speccing trim and millwork on a Sequoyah Hills or downtown project, and for homeowners on a high-end remodel. We install, we don't design, so we work off whatever's already been drawn. The crew size follows the job, and the crew you meet is the one that finishes it.

Trim that holds up in an East Tennessee house

The older Bearden and Holston Hills homes and the near-university neighborhoods come with out-of-square rooms, settled floors, and plaster that fights you. The newer West Knox and Hardin Valley builds swing hard between humid summers and dry winters. Both are hard on trim that went in without accounting for it. We cope the crown so it stays closed through a Tennessee winter, shim cabinet runs to the wall that's actually there, and set casing so it doesn't open a gap when the season turns. If you're weighing materials, our field notes on trim that survives Tennessee humidity lay out how we think it through. From downtown out to Farragut, that's the finish we bring to Knox County jobs, spec or custom, new or remodel.
