Finish carpentry
Finish carpentry and custom trim in Loveland
Built-in cabinetry, stairs, railings, trim and interior doors, made and fitted by the carpenter the company is named after. This is the work Max trained in.
Why it is worth paying for
What is the difference between fitted and built-in?
Fitted furniture is made in a factory to standard sizes and then packed out with filler strips until it roughly meets your walls. Built-in means it is made for the opening it goes into. In an older Northern Colorado house, where very little is square, that difference is visible from across the room.
It is the same skill that makes a deck last. Set out carefully, cut once, and let the joints do the work.
Selected work
Built-ins, stairs, doors and trim
Cabinetry made for the wall it stands against, stairs with handrails worth holding, and the trim that makes the rest of the room look deliberate.
Before the paint
A mudroom run, twice
Photographed before finishing and again once it was in, so you can see what is underneath the paint.
What it is like to have us on site
Max was a Hero and was able to come out on the same day our toilets got replaced.
They answered my messages the same day and kept me updated at every step.

What does a finish carpenter actually do?
Trim, doors, stairs, railings, built-in cabinetry and the moldings that tie a room together. It is the work that gets noticed last and matters longest. Max Morales trained in it and it is the trade Elevated Carpentry is built on.
Can you build cabinetry for an awkward space?
Yes. Alcoves, sloped ceilings and the space under a stair are usually where built-in carpentry pays for itself, because nothing off the shelf will fit them.
Do you make the cabinetry yourselves?
Max builds the joinery and fits it himself with the same crew that runs the rest of the job.
Which towns do you cover for carpentry?
Loveland and Fort Collins mostly, and across Northern Colorado around them.
The same hands do the outside work: see custom decks, pergolas and covered patios, or the full record on recent projects across Northern Colorado.
