Finish Carpentry Is What Separates Good from Exceptional

THE PROCESS
How a Finish Carpentry Project Works
From the first phone call to the final walkthrough, here is exactly what to expect.
1. Tell Todd About the Project
Call 605-212-6318 or send the details through the estimate form. Todd answers his own phone. You are not routed to a call center or handed to a salesperson.
2. Measurements & Details
Most projects need measurements and a clear picture of the existing conditions before anything can be priced. Todd gathers what he needs, in person when the job calls for it.
3. Current Vendor Pricing
Estimates are not handed out on the spot. Materials, cabinets, windows, and specialty products are quoted with vendors so the number you receive reflects current pricing.
4. Written Estimate
You get a written estimate covering scope, materials, and what is included, so there are no surprises once work begins.
5. Build & Final Walkthrough
Todd does the work himself with a small trusted crew, keeps the site clean, and walks the finished project with you before it is called done.
What Affects the Cost of a Finish Carpentry Project
No two finish carpentry projects price the same, and Todd will not guess at a number to win the job. Here is what moves the price up or down. And what he looks at before writing your estimate.
Request a Written Estimate- Size of the space and the overall scope of work
- Materials and finish level you choose
- Whether the layout or any structure changes
- Condition of what is already there once demolition starts
- Plumbing, electrical, or mechanical work the project triggers
- Timeline, scheduling, and current vendor lead times
Todd took our vision and made it a reality. The finish carpentry work in our living room is something we get compliments on every single time someone visits.

FAQ
Finish Carpentry FAQs
Common questions about finish carpentry in Sioux Falls, SD.
What is finish carpentry?
Finish carpentry is the interior woodwork that gives a home its finished appearance: crown molding, baseboards, door and window casing, built-ins, wainscoting, coffered ceilings and staircase details. It is Todd Nelson's core trade, and he has been doing it for 32 years.
Do you install crown molding in Sioux Falls, SD?
Yes. Todd Nelson installs crown molding in any profile, room by room or as a whole-home package, along with coffered and tray ceilings. Clean miters on out-of-square walls are what separates good crown work from filler and caulk.
Can you build custom built-ins?
Yes. Todd Nelson designs and builds bookshelves, entertainment centers, home office built-ins, mudroom lockers and window seats. They are built to fit the actual wall rather than assembled from stock boxes, using 32 years of cabinetry and millwork experience.
Can you match trim in an older Sioux Falls home?
Usually yes. Todd Nelson identifies the existing profile and sources or reproduces it so new casing and base blend with original woodwork. In older homes that detail is the difference between a repair that disappears and one everyone notices.
Do you repair or rebuild staircases?
Yes. Todd Nelson handles staircase installation, baluster replacement, handrail work and full stair renovations. Stairs are unforgiving carpentry with strict code requirements for rise, run and railing height, so he does that work personally rather than subcontracting it.
Is finish carpentry worth it in a newer home?
It is the fastest way to make new construction feel custom. Adding wainscoting, a coffered ceiling, upgraded casing or a built-in changes how a room reads without touching the floor plan. Todd Nelson is licensed, bonded and insured for that work.
