Carpentry and framing
Framing for additions and gable rooms, furniture and cabinetry built to the space, and the finish work that closes it all up.
Framing an addition, open roof to gable
One of our job photos catches an addition at the open-roof stage: walls standing, rafters going on, weather still able to get in. That is the moment the job is most exposed and most important, because the tie-in to the existing house is decided here.
Another job photo looks inside a framed gable addition, studs and sheathing visible, the angled ceiling already readable as a room. Chriss Construction roofs houses for a living, so the roofline of an addition gets planned with the framing instead of being fitted afterward. In Wallkill, Warwick or Monroe, that planning starts on (845) 400-8893.

Cabinetry and furniture made to fit
Our carpentry runs from custom furniture and cabinetry through to framing and finishing. That is the work: pieces built for a particular wall, nook or room rather than pulled from a catalogue.
Built-to-fit starts with measuring the space, not the piece. Out-of-square walls, baseboards, window returns and floor slope all change what a cabinet has to do to look straight, and a carpenter who has framed the house knows where those errors come from.
Finish carpentry is what you actually see
Trim, casings, shelving and the joints where one surface meets another are what a homeowner lives with every day. Tight miters, even reveals and filled nail holes are small things that read as care.
Reviewers of the roofing work say the same crew pays attention to detail and leaves a clean site, and that Chriss supervises everyone on the job himself. Those habits carry straight into interior carpentry, where a sloppy cut has nowhere to hide.
