Truecraft Construction builds custom carpentry across Richmond and West Contra Costa. The carpentry is the part of a home you touch and see every day, from the cabinets in a rebuilt kitchen to the trim and built-ins that make a room feel genuinely finished. We build cabinetry, shelving, paneling, stairs, and fine trim, matched to the style of your home and made from solid, carefully chosen materials rather than whatever the supply yard had on the truck.
- Custom cabinetry and fitted built-ins
- Casing, base, and crown millwork
- Wainscot and wall paneling
- Staircases, railings, and mantelpieces
- Original profiles matched to the home
The carpentry is what gives a room its finish
The gap between a room that feels builder-basic and one that feels custom almost always comes down to the carpentry. Well-proportioned trim, built-ins that use the awkward space, cabinetry sized to the room, and crisp, tight joinery are what register as quality even when a homeowner cannot put a finger on why. We treat carpentry as part of the design from the start, not a trim package nailed on once the real work is done.
On an addition or a remodel, that means drawing storage and built-ins into the plan early, so the cabinetry and shelving fit the footprint instead of fighting the framing. On a renovation of an older Richmond home, it often means matching new millwork to the original casing and base so the new work reads as part of the house rather than an obvious repair.
Our carpentry is built to the room and the home in front of us, not to a catalog spread. The result is work that looks as though it was there from the day the house was built.
Made from real stock, fit on site
Good carpentry begins with good material and patient work. We select solid stock and quality sheet goods, mill and fit on site wherever it matters, and build joinery that takes daily handling. Cabinet doors that stay true, drawers that glide square, and trim with tight, clean miters are the marks of work done properly, and they are exactly what a rushed crew skips to save an afternoon.
We match profiles and finishes to the home so new work blends in. In an older bungalow with original casing and base, we replicate the profiles rather than dropping in a modern stock that never quite sits right next to the old. In a fully remodeled space, we set a clean, consistent trim package that ties the whole room together.
With framing, finishing, and carpentry all in one crew's hands, the cabinetry and trim get matched to the walls, the floors, and the electrical from the start. Nothing becomes an afterthought, and nothing has to be wedged into place at the close of the job.
Carpentry that fits the larger project
Most of our carpentry happens inside a bigger remodel, addition, or renovation, where the millwork is the finishing layer that pulls the whole space together. Planning it alongside the build means the kitchen cabinets, the bath vanity, the closet systems, and the trim all share one language and fit the rooms exactly rather than approximately.
We also take on standalone carpentry, anything from a wall of built-in shelving to a new staircase or a paneled feature wall in a period home. Whether it is a single piece or a room full of millwork, we plan it, build it, and install it cleanly, with real attention paid to the joints, the reveals, and the final finish.
