Architectural Woodwork and Millwork InstallationAWI member
We adhere to the highest standards in finish carpentry and architectural woodworking. As a member of AWI, we tailor ourselves to the most complex of projects.
Architectural woodwork is the custom wood in a commercial interior: wall paneling, door and portal surrounds, reception desks, trim and millwork built to a designer’s drawings. Our architectural woodworking crews install it to the standards of the Architectural Woodwork Institute, of which JTC is a member, for general contractors, A&D firms and furniture dealers across Cleveland, Columbus and the rest of Ohio.
Finish carpentry where the tolerances show
Millwork is the last thing installed and the first thing a client notices. Panels have to line up across seams, reveals have to stay even, and trim has to meet walls and ceilings that are never quite square. Our finish carpenters scribe, shim and fasten each piece so the finished work matches the drawings.
Larger woodwork packages run through Gleeson Construction, our wholly owned subsidiary for Division 6, 8, 10 and 12 work. We also install commercial and institutional casework and handle the doors, frames and hardware around it.
What to look for in an architectural millwork partner
Ask whether the installer works to AWI standards, and whether it’s a member. Ask who does the installing: the company’s own carpenters or subcontractors brought in for the job. Ask whether they can hold the millwork until the site is ready, so it isn’t stacked in a corridor while drywall and ceilings finish. And ask how they coordinate with those trades, because panels can’t go up until the walls behind them are ready.
JTC is an AWI member, employs over 80 full time carpenters, and receives and stores product at our warehouses in Cleveland and Columbus until your site is ready for it.
