Finish carpentry · Greater Boston

Daniel Cirilo. Finish carpenter.

Trim, doors, panels and built-ins across Greater Boston. Scroll down and watch a bare wall get finished.

Step 1 · Baseboard

It starts at the floor.

Baseboard scribed tight to the floor, so no light shows underneath.

Step 2 · Casing

Every opening gets a frame.

Casing mitered at 45°, glued and pinned, so the corners stay closed for years.

Step 3 · Wainscoting

Panels laid out to your wall.

We measure from the center of each wall, so both ends come out the same.

Step 4 · Crown

Then the crown. Then it feels like home.

Filled, caulked and ready for paint. We sweep up before we leave.

Daniel Cirilo. Finish carpenter.

Trim, doors, wainscoting, built-ins and stairs across Greater Boston. Tight joints, clean lines, ready for paint.

ServicesEverything after the drywall.

We work for homeowners directly and as the finish crew for builders and remodelers. Here is what we install, shown the way a carpenter sees it: in profile.

  • Baseboard & shoe

    Coped inside corners, scarf joints on long runs, and shoe molding where the floor is not flat.

    3½″ to 7¼″ profiles · paint grade or stain
  • Doors & casing

    Pre-hung and slab doors hung plumb, then cased with tight miters. Windows get stool, apron and casing.

    Interior, pocket and barn doors
  • Wainscoting & accent walls

    Raised panel, picture frame, board and batten or shiplap, laid out from the center of the wall.

    Chair rail at 32″ to 36″ AFF
  • Built-ins & shelving

    Bookcases, window seats, mudroom benches and media walls, scribed to walls that are never quite straight.

    Built on site or in the shop
  • Stairs & railings

    Treads, risers, skirt boards, balusters and handrails, for new stairs or to bring an old set back.

    Oak or maple treads · code height rails
  • Closets & crown

    Closet shelving and double hang rods, plus crown molding that turns a plain ceiling line into a finished room.

    Crown up to 7¼″ · coped corners
Try it

Close the joint yourself.

A miter that opens a sixteenth of an inch is the first thing anyone notices on a door. Hold the button and pull this one tight.

Gap3/16″
That is a tight miter.

Glued, pinned and sanded flush. No caulk hiding a gap. Every joint in your house gets the same.

  • We hired him to install several custom storage solutions in our finished attic, including a built-in bookcase, storage hidden behind barn doors, and sleek built-in drawers. … The final results are nothing short of perfect, with immaculate finishes and a level of professionalism that exceeded our expectations.

  • Daniel and his team did an incredible job building our custom closets, stools, and consoles. The craftsmanship is absolutely top-notch: every piece feels solid, precise, and beautifully finished.

    Adam N.Custom closets & consoles

  • I hired Daniel to install two stairway railings for the entrance for my upper-story house entrance. He and his co-worker heard my request for a narrower railing, so they went out and came back with 2 options for me, one of which was perfect. They installed it expertly and efficiently, at a good price.

About

One carpenter who signs every joint.

Daniel Cirilo Carpentry does interior finish work for homeowners and contractors around Boston. We keep a short list of jobs at a time, so the person who measures your house is the person who installs the trim.

Old houses here have walls that lean and floors that roll. Making trim look straight on them is the part of the job we like best.

Questions

Before you call.

Straight answers to what people ask us most.

Do you take small jobs?

Yes. One room of baseboard or a couple of doors is a normal job for us. Tell us what you have and we will say honestly if it makes sense.

Do you supply the materials?

We can. Most clients let us pick up the trim and hardware and we add it to the quote. If you already bought materials, we will install them.

Do you paint?

We leave everything filled, caulked and ready for paint. Your painter can start the next day.

How does the estimate work?

We visit, measure and send a written quote with materials, profiles and dates. It costs nothing and you are not on the hook.

Do you work with contractors?

Yes. We work as the finish crew for builders and remodelers. Send the plans and the schedule.
