The Benefits of Using Custom Carpentry for Home Improvement

Do you have a specific storage need in your home that a chest or wardrobe can’t fix? Or a nook that would look perfect with a built-in bookshelf? Or maybe some molding needs to be replaced to keep your floor and walls sealed from pests? 

If any of these questions seem relatable to you, a custom carpenter can provide the solution to your problem with personalized woodworking, design and installation.

At Rick Kazigian Home Improvement, our team is experienced with custom carpentry. In this blog, we’ll help define what custom carpentry is, the benefits, and what services our team provides.

What is Custom Carpentry?

Custom carpentry is the creation and installation of custom woodworking that is designed specifically for your house, needs, and style. It has a wide range of applications, and can cover jobs like repairing a section of molding on your floor perimeter, to building a full closet with custom shelving. 

The Custom Carpentry Process

At Rick Kazigian Home Improvement, the process begins with a discussion. Our team will meet with you to discuss your goals and needs for any custom carpentry services. We will then take measurements and draw up design plans. 

Once those are approved by you, we get to work on ordering and cutting the material for your custom design, and then removing any old product to prepare a clean slate for installation.

Installation time and complexity varies depending on the project, but it generally includes installing the custom woodwork, painting or staining the wood, and then a final inspection.  

The Benefits of Custom Carpentry

There are many benefits to custom carpentry depending on the type of woodworking project you choose. The major benefit is a unique design that perfectly fits your home’s needs and style. 

Custom Storage

Needing more storage space in your home is a popular reason to look into custom carpentry services. Custom storage includes the creation of shelving, display spaces, or other practical room features that otherwise would not be available. 

An example of this could be creating a built-in wall cabinet that stores coats, shoes, umbrellas, and other practical items near the door. This reduces visual clutter and physical clutter out of the entrance of your home. 

Visual Interest

Custom carpentry also can cover adding custom wainscotting or wall details that add depth and visual interest to your room. Wainscotting in particular can be used to break up the color of a hallway, dining room, or living area in a way that adds depth.

Our team could help you install some beautiful panel wainscotting to a hallway that creates a classy and inviting look to your home.

Improved Interior Doorways

Custom carpentry can provide better functionality to your home’s interior doorways. We can design and install interior doors that fit your home perfectly, especially for unique doorway needs. 

For example, if your home has high ceilings and taller than average doorways, interior doors that you can find at a home-supply store may not meet the size requirements. Our team can take measurements and find the perfect fit for your home’s doorways.

Improved Insulation

If your floor molding has broken, shifted away from its original placement, or is just not holding back the cold and heat, custom carpentry can improve your home’s insulation with molding installation. 

Interior molding seals and covers the small gap between your walls and floors that can allow outside air to seep in or even give pests like ants or small mammals access indoors. Our team can find the perfect molding that seals those gaps from the inside out.
