Berkeley Home Additions builds custom carpentry across Los Gatos and the surrounding foothills. The carpentry is what you touch and see every day, from the cabinetry in a remodeled kitchen to the trim, built-ins, and stairwork 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 catalog stock.
- Custom cabinetry and fitted built-ins
- Casing, base, and crown millwork
- Wainscoting, paneling, and coffered ceilings
- Stairs, railings, and mantelpieces
- Profiles matched to the existing home
The carpentry is what reads as quality
The difference between a room that feels builder-grade and one that feels custom almost always comes down to the carpentry. Well-proportioned trim, built-ins that use the space exactly, cabinetry that fits the room, and crisp, tight joinery are what register as quality even when a homeowner cannot name precisely why. In a high-end Los Gatos home, that detail is what the eye keeps returning to, so we treat carpentry as part of the design, not an afterthought tacked on at the end.
On an addition or a remodel, that means designing storage and built-ins into the plan from the start, so the cabinetry and shelving fit the footprint instead of fighting it. On a renovation of an older foothill home, it often means matching new trim and millwork to what is already there, so the work reads as original to the house rather than an obvious patch.
Our carpentry is built to the room and the home, never to a catalog page. The outcome is work that looks like it was always there.
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.
We match profiles and finishes to the home so new work blends in. In an older Los Gatos house with original casing and base, we replicate the profiles rather than substituting a modern stock that never quite belongs. In a newly remodeled space, we set a clean, consistent trim package that ties the whole room together.
With the framing, finishing, and carpentry all in one crew's hands, the cabinetry and trim are matched to the walls, the floors, and the electrical from the start. Nothing becomes an afterthought, and nothing has to be forced in 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 ties 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, which is what a discerning Los Gatos homeowner notices.
We also handle standalone carpentry, from a wall of built-in shelving to a new stair or a paneled feature wall. 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 finish.

The whole project, in one place
A home is a design-build project, so custom carpentry rarely stands alone, it connects to basement conversion, our general contracting service, a home addition, a whole-home renovation, kitchen and bath remodeling, and our crew handles all of it as one accountable team. We bring the same service to Custom Carpentry in Saratoga, Custom Carpentry in Campbell, Custom Carpentry in Monte Sereno, Custom Carpentry in San Jose and everywhere else across the Los Gatos area.
