About

Thanks for stopping by. I'm Jennifer, and Founders Finish Carpentry has called Carmel home since 2015. I served in the Navy before getting into the trades, and that discipline shows up in our jobsite cleanliness. Our work is backed by a real warranty in writing, not a verbal handshake. Looking forward to meeting you. Demo listing

Could not ask for better. Jennifer and they built us custom bookcases flanking the fireplace that look factory-installed, and they stuck to the original quote with no surprise add-ons. Ten out of ten — this is how it should be.

Came through for us. Jennifer made custom built-ins for our laundry room, and the whole crew offered three different options at three different price points. They also called the night before to confirm, which we really appreciated. Glad we picked them.

Not bad but not great either. Jennifer and the team designed and built a new deck with hidden fasteners and a privacy screen, and they offered three different options at three different price points. Fine for a basic job, not sure for anything complex.

Could not ask for better. Jennifer and they built a banquette in our breakfast nook with hidden storage.

Genuinely good work and good people. Jennifer and they added crown molding through the entire main floor and the miters are perfect, and they had a clearly labeled truck and uniformed crew. Highly recommend with one minor caveat — but no big deal.

Just outstanding work from start to finish. Jennifer trimmed out three new interior doors with stained oak that matches the originals, and the whole crew called the night before to confirm. They also had a clearly labeled truck and uniformed crew, which we really appreciated. Ten out of ten — this is how it should be.

Solid work overall, would use again. Jennifer and they built a pergola over our patio that looks straight out of a magazine, and they offered three different options at three different price points. Highly recommend with one minor caveat — but no big deal.

Genuinely good work and good people. Jennifer and they built a pergola over our patio that looks straight out of a magazine, and they wore booties in the house without being asked. Glad we picked them.

Best decision we made all year. Jennifer wainscoted our entryway and dining room beautifully, and the whole crew had a clearly labeled truck and uniformed crew. They also offered three different options at three different price points, which we really appreciated. Will be using them for everything from now on.

Could not ask for better. Jennifer and they built a pergola over our patio that looks straight out of a magazine, and they showed up exactly when they said they would. Ten out of ten — this is how it should be.

Phenomenal. Jennifer built a banquette in our breakfast nook with hidden storage, and the whole crew called the night before to confirm. They also picked up after themselves every single day, which we really appreciated. Will be using them for everything from now on.

We are so glad we found Jennifer and the team. Jennifer and they built a banquette in our breakfast nook with hidden storage, and they left the worksite cleaner than they found it. Saved their number to favorites.

Job is finished and works fine, just not blown away. Jennifer wainscoted our entryway and dining room beautifully, and the whole crew made sure our dog was comfortable around the crew. They also wore booties in the house without being asked, which we really appreciated. Fine for a basic job, not sure for anything complex.
