Rochester, MI

Rochester sits right on the edge of Oakland County's oldest roots — settled in 1817, it grew up around a compact, walkable Main Street rather than the sprawling subdivisions of neighboring Rochester Hills. That history shows in the housing: late-1800s Victorians, Queen Anne and Eastlake merchant homes, and the brick storefronts of the four-block downtown historic district between Pine, Water, and University. It's a small city of roughly 13,000 with an unusually high share of genuinely old, character-rich homes — exactly the stock that finish carpentry was made for.

In a town this old, the carpentry needs split two ways. The historic homes near Main Street — the Sprague-era Victorians and the John Scott-designed residences — often need original trim, casings, and staircase work matched and restored, not replaced with off-the-shelf profiles. Then there are Rochester's higher-end custom and in-town infill homes, plus the condos along Paint Creek, where owners want built-in shelving, coffered ceilings, and custom cabinetry that reads as built-in, not bolted-on. Both call for finish work cut to the room, not the catalog.

Whether you're restoring crown molding and a banister in a downtown Victorian or adding wainscoting and built-ins to a newer custom home off Tienken or Stoney Creek, we build trim and cabinetry to suit Rochester's mix of old-home craftsmanship and refined new construction. We work right in the city and the surrounding Oakland County streets — bring us the room and the home's character, and we'll match it.
