Tier 1 Trim is a Kingston finish-carpentry shop — trim, staircases and custom cabinetry — that describes itself as a family business of third-generation builders, working from Boston through the South Shore to Cape Cod. The written reviews all date from 2024. The fullest, from September 2024 on Google, describes Jake and Matt hanging every interior door, installing baseboard and crown molding and casing the doors and windows in a new house, building a coffered living-room ceiling, two walnut built-in cabinets and floating walnut shelves, then framing and finishing a pool-equipment shed. Another customer that month said Jake handled a full upstairs overhaul — floors, doors, trim and paint — on time and within the agreed budget. A third hired the company to finish a punch list left by a previous contractor's rebuild. Jameson, the contact named on the company's site, shows up in the reviews too: a September 2024 customer described a built-in home office desk and reading nook, and a February 2024 HomeAdvisor customer said a doorway was opened up in two days. Google shows 5 stars from 8 ratings. The company's site says it is insured and offers free estimates.

I utilized Tier 1 Trim to assist in finishing the "punch list" of things that never got completed from a disaster of a rebuild job with another contractor. Tier 1 Trim was super responsive, efficient and on point with their recommended timeframe. I didn't have to chase to get them to my house and they did an absolutely amazing job with everything that was needed and cleaned up after their work. I would be sure to use them again in the future without question.
We hired Jake to do a complete overhaul of our upstairs. New floors, doors, trim and paint. We agreed on a price and the work proceeded. It was done on time and within the budget. Not something that happens a lot these days. The whole team was great to work with and Jake was on top of everything. No hiccups and no regrets. Would absolutely hire Jake and his team again.
Jake and Matt from tier 1 Trim hung all the interior doors, installed all the baseboard, crown moldings and cased in all the doors and windows at my new house. They created a beautiful coffered ceiling in the living room and built two built-in walnut cabinets as well as some floating walnut shelves. They did great work and were pleasant to have around. I highly recommend them for any finish work. Jake and Matt also built me a shed to accommodate pool equipment and storage. It came out great. Turns out they are capable framers too! They applied sheathing, cedar shingles, exterior trim, windows, exterior doors and hardware, everything but the asphalt shingles on the roof. They are a knowledgeable and very capable team. I highly recommend them.
Jameson did a terrific job with a custom built-in home office desk and a custom built-in reading nook. He was very responsive, easy to work with, and very professional. Highly recommend!
Tier 1 has done multiple projects at my home, from bathroom remodels to custom built in’s. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a contractor. Honest prices and great craftsmanship!
