Precision Finish and Trim Carpentry
Serving Portland & Surrounding Areas
Comprehensive Finish and Trim Services
Clean Lines, Tight Joints, and Cohesive Design
A M Wilson Construction delivers meticulous interior finish carpentry, including baseboards, door and window casings, crown molding, chair rail, wainscoting and wall paneling, coffered and tray ceilings, shiplap and tongue-and-groove accents, stair skirts and trim, built-ins and mantels, thresholds and transitions, and jamb extensions. Every profile is installed with careful reveals and crisp intersections that elevate the look and feel of your space.
Beyond aesthetics, our trim solutions improve function and durability by protecting wall surfaces, bridging material transitions, improving acoustic performance, and concealing settlement gaps for a refined, lasting outcome. We match profiles, proportions, and finishes to your architecture so new elements blend seamlessly with existing details.
Durability, Beauty, and Consistency
We source stable, high-quality materials selected for the application: paint-grade MDF and poplar for smooth finishes, finger-jointed pine for cost-effective runs, and stain-grade hardwoods like oak, maple, or walnut for natural richness. Components are acclimated before installation, with end-grain sealed and backs primed where appropriate to resist moisture movement and maintain long-term stability.
Our craftspeople execute precise miters, coped inside corners, and properly scarfed long runs to minimize visible joints. Consistent reveals, clean caulk lines, filled fastener holes, and careful sanding produce a flawless substrate for paint or stain. We use appropriate adhesives and fasteners, maintain expansion gaps, and scribe to out-of-plumb walls and floors for tight, custom-fit results.
A Proven Workflow That Protects Your Home
We begin with an on-site consultation to review style goals, budget, and timeline. You will see profile options, material recommendations, and finish strategies, along with guidance on where trim adds the most value. We measure thoroughly, plan transitions, and provide a clear, itemized proposal so you know exactly what is included.
Before work starts, we protect floors and furnishings, set dust containment, and use HEPA extraction for cleaner air. We laser-layout lines, pre-cut where practical, and assemble with a combination of precise miters, copes, and mechanical joinery. Our team coordinates with painters and other trades, and verifies clearances for doors, cabinets, and electrical devices.
After installation, we fill, sand, and caulk as needed and then prime or hand off to your painter depending on scope. A detailed quality check confirms uniform reveals, smooth surfaces, and crisp intersections. You receive maintenance tips and a workmanship warranty, and we remain available for adjustments or touch-ups after seasonal movement.

The install for my new hand railing is exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend him, and certainly would use him again. Thank you Michael. Ronda Hyson2024-08-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have to say that AMWilson are a blessing. I was loosing hope on stopping the ongoing water damage happening in my home due to a poorly installed roof by previous owner of my home. Thanks to AMWilson I no longer panic when rain is in the forecast. It is like angels looking out for my home. I can not thank them enough Mini2024-07-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Michael was fantastic to work with on our shed finishing project, we are very happy with the outcome. He listened to what we were looking to do, gave good input balancing what we were trying to achieve and provided cost-effective options. During the project, Michael gave regular updates, he is a great communicator. The finished work looks polished as well as utilitarian. We would definitely be looking to hiring A M Wilson construction again for a future project. Emily2024-05-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I hired A M Wilson Construction to complete repairs on my deck closet that had experienced water damage during the winter. They were prompt, communicative, friendly and easy to work with, and they did a great job. Their price was more than fair. I will definitely call them again when I need work done in the future. iFleecy2023-01-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had AM Wilson come install a set of french doors we had bought previously from home depot that I tried to install myself, Its harder than it looks to say the least and I should have contacted a contractor prior. Alex was able to repair a little damage I caused to the door frame when I tried to install it myself and made it look just as new. We've gone ahead and hired AM to do the trim work in our entire house after seeing the detail and level of quality of work he did on the french doors. I don't think we could be more happy with the daily results they've turned out for us, great couple of professional carpenters.
