Sunnyvale General Contractors builds custom carpentry throughout Martinez and central Contra Costa County. The carpentry is what you touch and see every day, from the cabinets in a remodeled kitchen to the trim and built-ins that make a room feel genuinely finished. We build cabinetry, shelving, paneling, stairs, and fine trim, matched to the style of your home and made from solid, well-chosen materials rather than the thinnest stock that will pass.
- Custom cabinetry and fitted built-ins
- Casing, base, and crown molding
- Wainscoting and wall paneling
- Stairs, railings, and mantelpieces
- Profiles matched to the existing home
Carpentry is what gives a room its finish
The difference between a room that feels builder-grade and one that feels custom usually comes down to the carpentry. Well-proportioned trim, built-ins that use the space, cabinetry that actually fits the room, and crisp, tight joinery are what register as quality even when a homeowner cannot put a name to why. We treat the carpentry as part of the design from the start, not an afterthought tacked on once the budget is nearly spent.
On an addition or a remodel that means designing storage and built-ins into the plan early, so the cabinetry and shelving fit the footprint instead of fighting it. On a renovation of an older Martinez home it often means matching the new trim and millwork to what is already there, so the new work reads as original to the house rather than an obvious patch a careful eye will always find.
Our carpentry is built to the room and the home, not pulled off a catalog page. The result is work that looks like it has been part of the house from the beginning.
Crafted from real material, fit on site
Good carpentry starts with good material and careful hands. We select solid stock and quality sheet goods, mill and fit on site where it matters, and build joinery that holds up to daily use. Cabinet doors that stay square, drawers that run true, and trim with tight, clean miters are the marks of work done right, and they are exactly what a rushed job skips to save an hour.
We match profiles and finishes to the home so new work blends in. In an older Martinez house with original casing and base, we replicate the profiles rather than substituting a modern stock that never quite sits right against the old work. In a freshly remodeled space, we set a clean, consistent trim package that ties the whole room together.
With the framing, the finishing, and the carpentry all in one crew's hands, the cabinetry and trim are coordinated with the walls, the floors, and the electrical from the start. Nothing becomes an afterthought, and nothing has to be forced into place at the close of the job.
Carpentry that fits the whole project
Most of our carpentry happens inside a larger remodel, addition, or renovation, where the millwork is the finishing layer that pulls the space together. Planning it alongside the build means the kitchen cabinets, the bath vanity, the closet systems, and the trim all share a consistent look and fit the rooms exactly rather than approximately.
We also handle standalone carpentry, anything from a wall of built-in shelving to a new staircase or a paneled feature wall in an entry or a study. Whether it is a single piece or a whole room of millwork, we plan, build, and install it cleanly, paying close attention to the joints, the reveals, and the final finish.

Why one crew for the whole project matters
A home is a design-build project, so custom carpentry rarely stands alone, it connects to basement finishing, a general contractor, a second-story addition, renovating the whole home, remodeling your kitchen, and our crew handles all of it as one accountable team. We bring the same service to Custom Carpentry in Pleasant Hill, Custom Carpentry in Concord, Pacheco custom carpentry, Custom Carpentry in Walnut Creek and everywhere else across the Martinez area.
