Carpentry & Trim in Greater Boston, done the Vanguard way

Isometric illustration of carpentry & trim work on a Greater Boston home

Vanguard Construction Group started in the trades, and carpentry is still the heart of what we do. From crown molding and wainscoting inside to fascia, soffit and corner boards outside, we deliver the crisp lines that make a home look cared for.

We also handle the carpentry that keeps a house healthy: rotted trim and sill repair, sagging stair fixes and structural corrections done properly.

Period homes in Melrose and Wakefield deserve trim profiles that match their era. We take the time to replicate the details instead of flattening them.

What's included

  • Interior finish trim, crown, casing, baseboard and wainscoting
  • Custom built ins, closets and shelving
  • Exterior trim, fascia, soffit, rake and corner boards
  • Rot repair on trim, sills and framing
  • Stair repair, railings and balusters
  • Door hanging, hardware and adjustments
  • Punch list carpentry for projects that need finishing

Common questions

Do you take on small carpentry jobs?
Yes. Trim repairs, a stuck door, a rotted corner board, a short punch list. Small jobs done well are how a lot of our long term clients found us.
Can you match existing historic trim profiles?
In most cases, yes. We match stock profiles when they exist and build up custom profiles when they don't, so repairs blend in instead of standing out.
Do you work with other contractors?
We do. Builders and remodelers bring us in for finish work, and we're happy to fit into a larger project's schedule.
