Custom finish carpentry — Harvey, LA & Greater New Orleans, since 1985

Trim work that finishes the room, not just the walls.

Tim's Custom Trim designs and builds cabinetry, staircases, mantels, range hoods and closet systems in the shop, then installs them to fit your space exactly — every joint, profile and finish done by hand.

How a project runs

Three stages, start to finish.

1

Design

We measure the space, talk through materials and profiles, and settle on a design before anything is cut.

2

Build

Each piece is built, joined and dry-fit in the shop, where cuts stay square and finishes go on clean.

3

Install

We deliver and set the finished piece in place, scribed and trimmed to fit the room exactly.

Finished kitchen with coffered ceiling and custom cabinetry

Tim's Custom Trim has been building custom cabinetry, staircases, mantels and closet systems out of Harvey, Louisiana since 1985.

Four decades in, the work is still almost entirely referral-driven — no showroom, no sales team, just one job leading to the next. Every project starts as rough lumber and shop drawings, and leaves as a fitted, finished piece — built to the room, not off a shelf, from first measurement through final install.
