Custom Carpentry
Stock cabinets come in standard sizes. Rooms don't. Rainwood's crew builds everything from kitchen cabinetry and fireplace surrounds to full built-in wall systems — each piece measured, designed, and fabricated for one specific location. No fillers, no workarounds, no "close enough."

Custom Carpentry Service Overview
Custom carpentry means building wood elements to fit a particular room rather than forcing it to accept whatever the factory produced. A stock bookcase leaves a three-inch gap. A prefab vanity won’t clear the plumbing stack. Generic crown moulding looks flat in a room with ten-foot ceilings. Custom finish carpentry solves all of these — not with clever hacks, but by starting from actual measurements and working outward. The value goes beyond looks. A window seat with drawers replaces a dead corner. A built-in credenza doubles as a room divider. Whether it’s residential or commercial, craftsmanship matched to real dimensions outperforms anything mass-produced.
Pricing and Investment
We don’t publish pricing tables because the numbers would be misleading — a set of floating shelves and a full kitchen reface are both “custom carpentry,” but they’re not in the same ballpark. What moves the cost: wood species makes a big difference — paint-grade poplar runs a fraction of quartersawn walnut. Hardware tier matters. So does joinery complexity, number of finish coats, and whether the install means working around existing structures. Custom finishing carpentry on high-end pieces — hand-sanding, grain matching, protective coats — adds shop time but the result speaks for itself. Rainwood provides itemized estimates that separate materials, labor, and finishing. No vague allowances. What we quote is what we charge, barring client-requested changes mid-project.
OUR CUSTOM CARPENTRY SERVICES
We don't limit ourselves to one category. If it's wood and it goes in a building, we probably build it. Here's the scope of our custom carpentry services.
Custom Cabinets and Built-Ins
Face-frame and frameless cabinets built to the inch — drawer count, shelf spacing, organizers, all client-specified. Living room built-ins, media walls, bookshelves, banquette seating with storage. Custom closet systems with adjustable shelving and pull-out trays that turn a frustrating reach-in into something that works.
Custom Trim and Finish Carpentry
Crown mouldings sized for the room's proportions. Wainscoting that adds real dimension — not the peel-and-stick kind. Fireplace mantels from solid hardwood or reclaimed stock. Custom trim carpentry at this level takes longer than nailing up MDF from the lumberyard, and the gap in quality is immediately visible. Every mitre and cope hand-fitted.
Stairs and Railings
Treads, risers, newel posts, balusters, handrails — approached as a single integrated system rather than separate parts. Custom stairwork is one of the highest-impact carpentry upgrades in any home.
Custom Carpentry Furniture
Sometimes the piece a client needs doesn't exist in any catalog. A dining table for twelve that fits a narrow room. An entryway bench built around an awkward alcove. A live-edge conference table for a boardroom. We build custom carpentry furniture from scratch, matching species, grain, and finish to the space.
Commercial Fitouts
Office millwork, retail fixtures, hospitality interiors, dental office casework. Commercial clients come to us when the interior needs to communicate something about the brand, not just fill the room.
Rainwood also offers interior renovations. Contact us to discuss your project.

COMMON PROBLEMS WE FIX
These are the signs off-the-shelf products aren't cutting it for your space.
Carpentry Built for Western Washington Conditions
Carpentry in this region has to answer to two forces: earthquakes and water. Western Washington sits in a high seismic design category, so structural connections, fastening schedules, and hardware aren’t places to improvise — they’re what keeps built work solid when the ground moves. Anything close to grade or exposed to weather gets pressure-treated or naturally rot-resistant lumber, because untreated wood in this climate is a countdown, not a material.
There’s also the reality of local framing: many Seattle-area homes were built decades ago, and their walls are rarely square or plumb. Good carpentry here means scribing, custom fitting, and adjusting on site rather than forcing factory dimensions onto a house that has settled and moved through ninety wet winters.
- Structural connections and hardware appropriate for the region’s seismic requirements
- Pressure-treated and rot-resistant lumber for exterior and near-grade work
- Scribe-and-fit workmanship for older, out-of-square framing
- Exterior carpentry scheduled around the dry season for proper finishing
WHY CHOOSE RAINWOOD?
Most clients reach out after a frustrating experience with something prefabricated. When a piece fits its space, you stop losing square footage to gaps and bad layouts. Beyond fit, there’s durability — hardwood frames, dovetailed drawers, mortise-and-tenon joinery. Ten years in, the difference is obvious. Appraisers flag quality built-ins. Buyers notice during walkthroughs. One of the few improvements that consistently returns more than it costs.
- Site visit and actual measurements before any design work
- CAD drawings or full 3D renderings — client signs off before we cut
- Shop fabrication for tolerances that on-site-only work can't match
- Hardwood, dovetails, and proper joinery — not particleboard and staples
- Final walkthrough: every door swing, drawer slide, and finish surface checked

Years Experience
Great people. Showed up early and stayed late to get the job done. Work was excellent. Price was the best i found after four quotes. Would definitely use this company again.
We hired Rainwood Construction LLC to replace our French doors, and the result was outstanding. We knew going in this was more involved than a standard swap — we switched from inward to outward swinging doors, requiring extra attention to framing, flashing, and weatherproofing to keep everything sealed against water intrusion.Anatoliy was our point of contact and led the project from before to after, making sure the swing change and weatherproofing were planned and executed correctly. Igor and Vitaly handled the on-site installation and did excellent, high-quality work. The whole team was on time, professional, and delivered top-notch results. Can’t recommend them highly enough. 5 stars!
Every member of this crew I've had the pleasure of coming in contact with has been professional, excellent in their skillset, and fast. Pricing was reasonable for the excellent job they did.Last year we hired Rainwood to do plumbing and painting for a job. Both crews did such a great job, were thorough, and the level of detail was fantastic!We liked them so much we recently hired them for a quick job (installing ceiling fans). We messaged on a Wednesday and the job was done by Friday.Will absolutely hire Rainwood again and again for every job we do for our home.
Working with Rainwood Constructions on our house remodel was an excellent experience from start to finish. Their contractors were highly professional, skilled, and attentive to detail, and the quality of their work exceeded our expectations. The team communicated clearly throughout the project and ensured everything was completed on time without compromising quality. We’re extremely happy with the results and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a home remodel.
We had a very good experience with Rainwood Construction LLC and Toli during my brother’s home construction project in Shoreline. The team was professional, communicative, and paid close attention to detail throughout the process. We were especially happy with the quality of the fittings and finishing work, which turned out really well. The project was handled smoothly, and the overall workmanship met our expectations. Would definitely recommend them to others looking for reliable construction services.
We had an excellent experience with them on our sunroom project. The quality of the work was outstanding, they were easy to work with, and they clearly explained each step, the schedule, and key decisions (with various options to help us understand cost) along the way. Communication was solid from start to finish, and the final result looks great. Highly recommend, they are my new go to recommendation when friends ask.

FAQ
Yes — we provide 3D renderings on most projects so you can review and adjust the design before we start building. It’s the fastest way to catch changes while they’re still free.
That’s where we do our best work. Under-stair closets, sloped-ceiling attics, galley kitchens barely wider than a hallway — tight spaces benefit the most from pieces built to exact dimensions.
Tables, benches, shelving, desks, media consoles, conference tables, and just about any standalone piece — all built and finished to your specs.
Depends on scope. A single built-in might run two to three weeks. A full kitchen or multi-room custom carpentry service project typically takes six to ten weeks, design through install.
