What does a finish carpentry estimate include?

It counts interior doors, frames and hardware sets, and measures base, casing, crown and chair rail in linear feet. It also covers stair parts, shelving, closet systems and built-ins shown on the drawings.

Do you measure trim by profile and size?

Yes. Each trim profile is listed separately in linear feet, with a waste and joint allowance, so you can order the right lengths and price each profile at its real cost.

Is cabinetry or millwork part of a finish carpentry estimate?

It can be. Standard casework can be added to the same estimate, or priced separately in a full millwork estimate when the project has custom cabinetry, paneling or architectural woodwork.

How is finish carpentry labor calculated?

Labor hours come from install rates per item, such as hours per door or per 100 linear feet of base. These are then adjusted for the project location and the complexity of the trim package.

What file formats do you deliver?

You receive an editable Excel takeoff with quantities, unit costs and totals, plus a PDF summary. Typical delivery is 24 to 48 hours from receiving complete drawings.
