Finish Carpentry in the Greater Milwaukee Area

Does QBC do finish carpentry in Greater Milwaukee?

Yes, in the Greater Milwaukee area. QBC LLC's Trim Division installs doors, frames, hardware, base, case, window trim, and sills on multifamily projects for general contractors and developers, and most of our Milwaukee-area work has been in the suburbs: Wauwatosa, West Allis, Brookfield, Brown Deer, and Waukesha County. It is the far edge of the 75 mile circle our crews travel from DeForest, so we take selected projects here rather than everything, and the ones we take get the same project manager and the same four rounds of punch as a job ten minutes from the shop.

What has QBC built in Greater Milwaukee?

Projects completed or under contract, with the general contractor:

• 7474 Harwood / St. Bernards, Wauwatosa (Catalyst Construction): finish carpentry, countertops, and cabinets
• Harlow & Hem, Wauwatosa (Greenfire): countertops and cabinets
• North Mayfair Apartments, Wauwatosa (Stevens Construction): countertops
• SoNa Lofts Phase II, West Allis (Moore Construction Services): countertops and cabinets
• Vets Place Central, Milwaukee (Kelly Construction): cabinets, countertops, and sills

What does the finish carpentry scope include?

The same scope as our finish carpentry service page: interior doors, frames, and hardware including fire rated doors and panic hardware (CSI Division 08), base, case, window trim, and sills (Division 06), and architectural ceilings on some projects. Labor and materials under one contract. Cabinetry and countertops are separate QBC scopes run by the same project manager, so one contract can cover the whole interior. Stone sills come out of our own DeForest shop.

How does a Greater Milwaukee finish carpentry project run?

Submittals first. Door schedules, hardware schedules, and trim profiles get signed off in preconstruction and ordered against real lead times, so the doors are on site when the trim crew is. Before the first door hangs, the Foreman walks the building with the project manager and the whole crew goes over the plans on site. Then unit after unit, four rounds of punch (ours, yours, the owner's, and final), and closeout with a 1 year labor warranty. One project manager for the length of the job. If you bundled cabinets and tops with us, the same project manager carries those too.
