What Gets Done During Finish Carpentry Phase

SV Construction begins finish carpentry once drywall is hung, taped, and primed in your Ridgeland home. Baseboards are installed first along all walls, followed by door jambs and casings, then window trim and any crown molding or chair rail specified in your plans.

When the work is finished, you will notice tight miters at every corner, doors that swing smoothly and latch securely, and trim that sits flush against walls without gaps or waves. All nail holes are filled, joints are caulked where needed, and everything is ready for final paint.

This service is typically scheduled after HVAC, plumbing, and electrical rough-ins are complete and inspected. It does not include drywall installation, insulation, or structural framing, but it does prepare the home for flooring installation, fixture mounting, and final finishes. Coordination with other trades helps keep your construction timeline moving forward without delays.

Common Questions From Builders and Homeowners

Homeowners and builders in Ridgeland working on new construction often ask about scheduling, material supply, and what needs to be finished before carpentry begins. These questions help clarify responsibilities and prevent costly delays on site.

What needs to be completed before finish carpentry starts?
Drywall should be hung, taped, mudded, and primed, and all rough electrical and plumbing inspections should be passed. Floors do not need to be finished yet, but the subfloor should be clean and free of debris.
How long does finish carpentry take for a new home?
A typical single-family home with three bedrooms takes one to two weeks depending on the amount of trim, number of doors, and any custom millwork included. Larger homes or homes with detailed trim packages take longer.
What materials do I need to supply?
You supply all trim, doors, jambs, casings, and hardware based on your plans and finish schedule. The installer will notify you if anything is missing or damaged before starting work.
Why is finish carpentry done before flooring?
Baseboards and door casings are typically installed before hardwood or tile so the flooring can tuck underneath the trim and create a clean transition. Carpet is usually installed after trim.
What tools are used during finish carpentry?
Installers use a miter saw for cutting trim, a finish nail gun for fastening, a jamb saw for undercutting door frames, and a laser level for keeping lines straight. Trim is fastened into studs and door framing for stability.
