Carpenters are construction workers. A construction site requires many different kinds of craftspeople and technicians: masons, electricians, plumbers, etc. However, carpentry is one of the oldest construction professions as wood was one of the first building materials. Carpenters know an amazing amount of techniques for woodworking and construction. In fact there are many different kinds of carpenters:

M & A Finish Carpentry employs many types of carpenters in Whittier. With such an extensive amount of expertise we can do almost anything you can think of if it involves lumber. And our expertise is even broader than that!

Curtain Wall Framing

Curtain walls are walls of a structure designed to keep the elements out but not enhance the structural stability of a building. Many of the buildings you see with glass edifices are curtain walls. The walls themselves don’t provide structural support but they do protect the occupants from the outside.

Having a glass curtain wall makes the structure look much sleeker but the benefits do not end there. They also bring in the most natural light possible which can save on both heating and utility bills. Well designed curtain walls are very good at keeping air and moisture outside the building and the glass also acts as a fire stop between floors.

If you would like to have more light in your life then call a Whittier carpentry specialist today.

Rough Carpentry Wood and Metal

Rough carpentry is the industry term for a framer. What a rough carpenter/framer does is create the basic skeleton of a structure. Though they are carpenters they do not only work with wood. Framing can be done with metal supports rather than wooden beams and a rough carpenter also needs to know how to work with concrete so that they can set certain frames.

Our rough carpenters have done framing for all sorts of structures. Homes and buildings we have decades of experience in but we have also built tunnels, bridges, sewer supports, scaffolding, concrete forms and billboard signs. We generally do residential and municipal construction projects but we have done commercial construction as well. Our team produces quality results at competitive pricing.

Trim Carpentry

Trim carpenters do ornamental woodwork. They create and install trim or molding for doors, windows, mantels, baseboards, and so on. Many carpentry companies don’t have an actual trim carpenter, that is, they have people who are good at installing trim but do not have the expertise to work wood into ornate trim or molding.

M & A Finish Carpentry has a team of professional Whittier trim carpenters who can create designs from scratch. However, as fellow Whittier community members we understand that everyone has a different budget for their projects. If it is preferable for our customer’s budget we have pre-fabricated trim which we can install. If our customers are looking for an original look that they cannot find anywhere else we can create trim to fit the theme you wish the room to have.
