Carpenter in Hattiesburg, MS
Carpentry is where Alex started — his father was a carpenter, and it's still the work he calls his own strong suit. Cabinets, trim, doors, and built-ins, all cut and installed by hand.
A lot of remodeling work in Hattiesburg comes down to carpentry, even when the job is labeled something else. A kitchen remodel is mostly cabinet carpentry. A bathroom remodel needs a vanity built to fit an irregular wall. An older home near USM or the historic downtown often has trim and door casings that were hand-installed decades ago — replacing them with something flat and mass-produced changes the character of the room more than most homeowners expect.
Alex approaches carpentry the way he learned it — from his father, and from years of hands-on construction work in Peru, Venezuela, and the U.S. before starting his own business in Hattiesburg. That means cabinets scribed to the actual wall instead of caulked to hide gaps, trim coped at inside corners instead of just mitered, and doors hung so they close flush without dragging on the frame six months later.

Is finish carpentry different from framing or rough carpentry?
Yes — finish carpentry is the detail work that shows: trim, molding, cabinets, doors. It's what people notice when a room looks 'off' even though nothing is structurally wrong. It's the side of the trade Alex learned first, from his father.
Can you match trim or cabinet style to an older Hattiesburg home?
Often, yes. A lot of homes near the historic core have original trim profiles or cabinet styles worth matching rather than replacing wholesale — Alex will look at what's there and tell you honestly whether matching or replacing makes more sense.
Do you build cabinets on-site or install pre-built ones?
Both, depending on the job and what fits the budget. Either way, Alex handles the install personally — scribing to the wall, leveling, and finishing the details that make cabinets look built-in rather than dropped into place.
How long does a cabinet or trim carpentry job usually take?
A single room of trim or a vanity install is typically a much shorter job than a full kitchen's worth of cabinetry. Alex gives a specific timeline once he's seen the scope in person.
