Answer First
What Are Millwork Estimating Services?
Millwork is detail-intensive and often custom. Our estimators review interior elevations and sections, measure casework by linear foot, and price materials, hardware, finishes and installation. We also estimate standard finish carpentry for homes and multifamily.
Millwork coordinates with Drywall Estimating Services, Painting Estimating Services and Doors and Windows Estimating Services.
