Custom built-ins and trim that look like they came with the house.
Bookcases, window seats, pantry and closet systems, wall paneling and trim — built by a family crew. Designing and building with our hands is what we love most.
- Free in-home design visit

- Scribed tight to your walls and ceilings
- Painted or stained finish
Pick a time that works for you — it goes straight onto Mark's calendar. You'll get a confirmation text and email, plus a reminder before we come out.
The difference between “installed” and “built-in”.
Walls aren’t straight
Store-bought units leave gaps. We scribe every piece to your actual walls, floors and ceiling.
Made for your space
Built to the inch around windows, outlets and vents — no dead space, no awkward fillers.
Finish is everything
Caulked, filled and painted so it reads as part of the house.
It adds value
Good built-ins and trim are one of the few upgrades buyers notice in a walkthrough.
Four things you'll have by the end of the week.
Book the free estimate and, within the week, you’ll have everything you need to decide — in writing.
Your estimate
A clear, written price for the built-in or trim project — labor, materials and timeline spelled out. No surprise add-ons; if anything changes once we open things up, you approve it before we do it.
Visual plan + deposit terms
A simple visual of the finished job — a sketch, photo mockup or material samples — so you can see it before you commit. To lock your start date: 25% deposit on larger projects and custom orders, balance on completion.
Our prep checklist
Everything we do to prepare your walls for built-ins and trim, step by step — so you know exactly what happens in your home and why. (See the full checklist below.)
Who’s working at your home
The names of who’s showing up (Mark, Maxim or Michael), your start date and how many days we’ll be on site. No strangers showing up at your door.

We’re Mark, Maxim & Michael — three brothers, one crew.
Jax Beach Handyman is a family crew. Mark runs the estimates and the design side; Maxim and Michael are on the tools with him every day. The people who show up at your door are the people who own the work.
We stick to what we’re best at — finish carpentry, cabinets, tile and built-ins — and we don’t touch permitted plumbing, electrical or structural work. We never want to be the reason a homeowner fails an inspection when they sell.
— Mark, Maxim & Michael Kharitonov

You get the four things — then we build
Estimate, visual plan, prep checklist and your crew by the end of the week. Say yes, and we put you on the schedule.
5.0 across the board.
"I asked Mark to come back and help complete a punch list on a house inspection and he did a great job. He was accommodating, reliable, professional and extremely good at a variety of tasks… his pricing was extremely reasonable for all that I requested him to complete."
"Mark's pricing is always fair and transparent — he charges honestly for both materials and time, which is rare and greatly appreciated… Reliable, skilled, and trustworthy, Mark sets the standard for what a handyman should be."
"Mark communicates well, shows up on time, efficient, proficient, perfectionist, no drama, and fairly priced. Will do big jobs or small ones. He did a fabulous job and will now be my 'go to' guy."
If our workmanship fails within 12 months, we come back and make it right.
That’s in writing on every signed estimate. It covers our labor — not normal wear and tear, or damage from leaks and work done by others after we finish.
Built-ins and finish carpentry questions.
Do you build accent walls and wainscoting?
Yes. Along with built-ins we install accent walls, including board and batten, shiplap and wall paneling, plus crown molding, baseboards and door and window casing. Many of these projects are for new homes in Nocatee, Ponte Vedra and St. Johns County.
What can you build?
Bookcases, entertainment walls, window seats, mudroom benches, pantry and closet systems, wall paneling, crown, baseboard and door casing.
Can you match my existing trim?
Usually, yes. We’ll bring profile samples to the estimate and match what’s there as closely as possible.
Paint or stain?
Either. Most built-ins are painted to match your trim; stained wood takes a little longer.
Can you add lighting to a built-in?
We can build in low-voltage puck lights and leave the channels ready. New outlets or hardwired lighting are done by a licensed electrician.
