Interior & Exterior Carpentry in New Canaan, CT
Flores Painting Service LLC handles interior and exterior carpentry in New Canaan, CT. New Canaan has both antique colonials and mid century modern houses, and the woodwork in those two styles could not be more different.
Two Very Different Kinds of Carpentry
New Canaan is unusual. The same town has antique colonials with heavy traditional profiles and mid century modern houses built on flat trim, clean reveals, and exposed wood.
Carpentry in New Canaan, CT means switching between those languages. Traditional profiles forgive a little. Modern detail forgives nothing, because there is no molding to hide behind.
Flores Painting Service LLC reads the house before quoting. The approach on a 1790 colonial is not the approach on a house built in the 1950s.
Interior Carpentry and Finish Work in New Canaan
Interior carpentry in New Canaan covers finish carpentry, interior trim work, interior woodwork, and repairs where the original detail has to be reproduced exactly.
In modern New Canaan houses, the trim is minimal and the tolerance is tiny. A reveal that runs a sixteenth off over ten feet is visible from the doorway.
In the older colonials the work is the opposite problem. Deep profiles, settled walls, and trim that has to be scribed rather than cut straight.
Exterior Carpentry and Wood Repair in New Canaan
Exterior carpentry in New Canaan covers exterior trim, exterior woodwork, and wood repair and replacement on both traditional detail and exposed modern wood.
Mid century houses often use wood in places that take direct weather with very little overhang. Those details need real maintenance and real repair, not paint over soft material.
Rot gets cut back to solid wood, and new exterior material goes up sealed and primed on all six sides. That is how New Canaan exterior carpentry lasts.
Anyone searching for a carpentry contractor in New Canaan, CT should ask which style the contractor is comfortable working in. Traditional and modern carpentry are different disciplines with different tolerances.
Flores Painting Service LLC covers interior carpentry, exterior carpentry, finish carpentry, trim work, woodwork restoration, and wood repair in New Canaan. The estimate comes after seeing the house, not before.

Carpentry Questions in New Canaan, CT
Yes. Modern detail is flat trim, clean reveals, and exposed wood, which means the tolerances are tighter than traditional work. There is no molding profile to hide a joint behind.
Usually. Old profiles are not manufactured anymore, so we match the existing shape and blend the repair into the run rather than replacing the whole thing with a modern approximation.
Overhangs. A lot of mid century design puts wood where it takes direct weather with very little protection. That wood needs real maintenance, and once it goes soft, paint only hides it.
Yes. One crew covers both sides of the house in New Canaan, which keeps the finish consistent and puts everything on a single written estimate instead of two.
