What’s the difference between woodworking and carpentry?
Answer: Woodworking focuses on furniture, cabinetry, and fine shop-made joinery, while carpentry focuses on building and installing parts of a structure—framing, doors, trim, shiplap, and built-ins that tie into walls and ceilings. In Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand, Jordan Ross Construction provides contractor-led carpentry and can integrate shop-built elements when your remodel calls for them.
Where each discipline shines
Woodworking is ideal for furniture and shop cabinetry where tolerances and finishing are ultra-precise. Carpentry excels on site—setting doors and casing, installing crown moulding, wainscoting, shiplap, and custom built-ins that must align with real-world walls, floors, and ceilings. For many homes, a project will use both: shop pieces for perfection, site work for a seamless install.
Why a contractor-led carpentry team matters
Remodels touch multiple trades—plumbing, electrical, drywall, tile, paint—and timing matters. As your contractor, we handle permits, scheduling, and inspections so finish carpentry lands at the right moment. The result: clean reveals, tight miters, and rooms that look intentional end-to-end.
Common projects we handle in Myrtle Beach
- Built-ins: fireplace surrounds, media walls, window seats, mudroom lockers
- Trim upgrades: crown, base, casing, wainscoting, ceiling details
- Door packages: new slabs, hardware, and alignment for smooth operation
- Feature walls: shiplap, board-and-batten, and paneling accents

Planning your project
We start with a quick call to understand goals, then a site check. You’ll receive a written proposal that separates labor, materials, and any trade coordination. Prefer to phase the work? We can price good / better / best so you can start now and add upgrades later.
