Why AF Contracting for carpentry

What's different about our carpentry work

  • Anchored for real-world loads. Shelving, rails, and built-ins go into studs or rated anchors sized for what you'll actually put on them — books, tools, a full closet.
  • Clean miters and caulk lines. Trim, crown, and baseboard are cut tight, corner-blocked where needed, and filled and caulked so paint-grade work looks like it was always there.
  • Doors that close and stay closed. Sagging and sticking doors get hinge, strike, and jamb corrections — not a planed edge that leaves a gap when the season changes.
