Interior Carpentry
Craftsmanship You Can See in Every Room
Interior carpentry covers the woodwork that makes a house feel finished and functional: shelving, closet systems, built-ins, stair parts, window sills, and the countless small repairs that keep rooms looking their best. Done well, carpentry adds storage, improves daily routines, and raises the appeal of a home or rental. Done poorly, it shows gaps, uneven lines, and loose pieces that never quite sit right.

Whether you need a new closet system, open shelving, a repaired stair tread, or replacement window sills, our family-owned team brings over 10 years of property management experience and a practical eye for work that holds up to everyday use.

Woodwork With a Careful Eye
Built-Ins and Repairs That Look Like They Belong
Good carpentry blends function with fit. These are the standards that guide every shelf, stair, and built-in we complete.
Scribed to Real-World Walls
Few walls are perfectly straight or square, especially in older Gainesville homes. We measure carefully and scribe each piece to fit actual surfaces, so shelves, cabinets, and trim sit tight without awkward gaps or shims showing.
Anchored Into Framing
Shelving, rails, and mounted items need to stay put under real loads. We locate framing or use properly rated anchors, so everything we install feels solid today and stays secure for years of daily use.
Finish Work Ready for Paint
Nail holes are filled, joints are caulked, and surfaces are sanded smooth before we call carpentry complete. That preparation lets paint go on cleanly, giving new woodwork a truly seamless, factory-quality appearance in every room.
Designed Around Your Belongings
A closet or built-in should fit what you actually own. We ask about clothing, books, tools, and routines, then plan shelf heights and depths that make storage practical rather than simply decorative. Function always comes first.
Single Repairs Welcomed
A squeaky stair tread or one damaged window sill deserves the same care as a full built-in. We happily take on small carpentry jobs and punch lists, completing them efficiently and professionally for every client.
Painting and Flooring Coordinated
Because our team also paints and installs flooring, we can sequence carpentry with those trades. Scheduling everything together reduces delays, avoids damage to new finishes, and gives you one point of contact. Your project simply runs smoother.

How It Works
How We Plan and Build Your Project
Every interior carpentry project begins with understanding what you want the space to do. We visit your Gainesville home, measure the area, check walls and framing, and talk through materials, finishes, and budget. For repairs, we look at what caused the damage so the fix lasts. You then receive a free estimate that explains the work, materials, and timeline in clear, straightforward terms. We also suggest practical options that stretch your budget further.
When work starts, McDonough Construction Services, Inc. protects your floors and surroundings, cuts and fits each piece carefully, and secures everything for long-term use. We fill, caulk, and prepare surfaces for paint, and we can paint the finished work if you like. Before we leave, we review everything with you. Need trim repair or new doors as well? We can complete them during the same visit. Every piece is built to look right and stay solid for years of daily use.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Carpentry projects come in every size. Here are answers to questions homeowners in Gainesville, Florida ask most often.
What counts as interior carpentry?
Interior carpentry includes shelving, closet systems, built-ins, stair repairs, window sills, casings, and other woodwork inside the home. We handle new installations as well as repairs to existing pieces that are damaged, loose, or worn out.
Can you build custom shelving for my space?
Yes. We measure your room, talk through what you need to store, and design shelving sized to fit your belongings and your space. Shelves are anchored securely and finished to match your existing trim and walls.
Do you take on small carpentry repairs?
Absolutely. Single repairs and punch lists are a big part of our work, especially for homeowners preparing to sell and landlords readying units. Small jobs receive the same care and preparation as our larger projects.
Will the carpentry be painted?
We can leave new carpentry primed and ready for paint, or our team can complete the painting so new pieces match your existing trim and walls. Many homeowners prefer having one team handle both steps.
How do you mount TVs safely?
We locate wall framing or use properly rated anchors, choose the correct bracket for your television's size and weight, and manage cables neatly. The result is a secure, level installation that looks clean and professional.
Is McDonough Construction Services, Inc. insured for carpentry work?
Yes. We are fully insured, offer free estimates, and bring over 10 years of property management experience to carpentry projects for homeowners, landlords, and businesses throughout Gainesville, Florida and the surrounding area. Every project receives the same care.
