About Our Custom Carpentry Service

CrestLine Home Pro employs finish carpenters with decades of combined experience building everything from floor-to-ceiling library walls to intricate wainscoting and coffered ceilings.

What Northwest Suburbs Homeowners Say About Our Custom Carpentry

“They replaced our old garbage disposal and installed a new faucet in the same visit. Everything works perfectly and there are no leaks. Priced much better than the big plumbing companies and just as skilled.”
Rachel V.Hoffman Estates

“Signed up for their maintenance plan. Had them out for a full home checkup. They replaced worn weatherstripping, re-caulked the tub, lubricated all the door hinges, and swapped out old dryer vent hose. Really thorough service.”
Allen R.Hoffman Estates

“Had several rotted fence posts and boards replaced. The new wood matches reasonably well and the fence is sturdy again. They recommended staining the whole fence to even out the color, which was helpful advice.”
