Fine Finish Carpentry & Consulting
San Francisco Bay Area
Over two decades of precision millwork and finish carpentry for architects, designers, and discerning homeowners across the Bay Area.
Expert installation of custom millwork, trim, paneling, and architectural woodwork to the highest standards.
Specialist in cabinetry installation, custom casework, and precision door hanging for residential and commercial projects.
Shop drawing review, cabinet and door shop redlines, datum line layout, and finish consultation — get it right before the first cut.
Encore Craftsmen was founded to do one thing exceptionally well: fine millwork and finish carpentry installation at the highest standard the craft allows. We exist to revive and uphold a spirit of craftsmanship that the construction industry too often sacrifices for speed and margin.
We are a small, intentional operation by design. The principal is in the work — not managing from a distance, but present, accountable, and personally invested in every project. Our clients know who they're working with, and that relationship doesn't get handed off.
We collaborate closely with general contractors, designers, and fabricators because we believe the best outcomes come from people who respect each other's expertise and communicate honestly.
"Perfect is good enough."
We hold this not as a burden but as a point of pride. The craftspeople we work with are among the best in Northern California — skilled individuals who are energized by the unique demands of joinery and fine woodwork, and who take genuine satisfaction in a job done right.
We value honesty, integrity, and long-term relationships over short-term convenience.
We believe our clients deserve extraordinary service and candid communication — especially when it's difficult.
We believe that fair compensation and a safe, enjoyable working environment are inseparable from quality outcomes.
We believe the work itself is the reputation.
Our mission: to build a craft-centered company that upholds the values of fine woodworking and honest collaboration — and to have fun doing it.
Encore Craftsmen is led by Teddie Braud, bringing 23+ years of hands-on experience in high-end residential and commercial finish carpentry. We partner with architects, general contractors, and design firms to deliver meticulous craftsmanship — from initial shop drawing review through final punch list.
