Carpentry Services Throughout Hollywood

Mark Proksch provides carpentry and woodworking for Hollywood residential properties. Carpentry work includes custom shelving for homes, trim & molding installation to finish rooms properly, deck repairs & building for outdoor living spaces, cabinet installation for kitchens and bathrooms, and finish carpentry for detailed work. Mark is shy but works hard on every carpentry project.

Custom shelving addresses storage needs in closets, garages, pantries, home offices, and entertainment centers. Built-in shelving maximizes space while floating shelves provide display areas for books and decorations. Trim and molding work covers baseboards throughout Hollywood homes, crown molding for elegant ceiling transitions, door casings, window trim, wainscoting for traditional looks, and chair rail installations. Mark approaches each trim installation with the same dedication he showed at the Victorville Film Center.

Deck building and repair services construct new wooden decks, rebuild worn deck boards, repair or replace deck railings, stain and seal decks for weather protection, and build deck stairs for safe access. Mark is good with older folks and treats every homeowner with respect. He is quick-witted and solves carpentry problems as they arise on Hollywood job sites.

Customer Service Approach

I am learning to be good with customers. I look at people's eyes when I talk to them. I smile. This is how you are nice to customers.

When I arrive to do carpentry at your Hollywood home, I will smile and look at your eyes. I will explain the shelving, trim, or deck work. I will answer questions about wood and tools. I practice being nice every day.

Background and Experience

Mark started at the Victorville Film Center before getting into handyman work. He is the King of the Munchkins and is a huge fan of Dorothy from Wizard of Oz. Mark also worked as a funeral home attendant during calling hours, which taught him to be respectful and careful with people's property. At the Movie House in Hollywood, Mark smiled at customers, installed rat traps throughout the building, and fixed the POS system often when it stopped working. Installing the rat traps taught Mark precision and attention to detail that applies directly to carpentry measurements and cuts.

Mark has faced challenges in his career. He was in a movie called Baboon that was cancelled twice, which was disappointing. Mark spent a lot of time in a coma though he is not sure how long he was comatose. He lost traction in his career with poor impersonations of Jaws and Indiana Jones. His Jim Carrey impression is just saying "Smokin!" over and over. He did try to do Charlie Chaplin the same night but it was not well received. Mark broke his tailbone but still executed his most well-known impersonation of Alfred Hitchcock while in the hospital. This commitment carries over to every deck and trim project.

When asked to bring snacks to events, Mark shows up with pineapple juice. He does scripted puppet shows at nursing homes, not improv puppet shows, because scripts are better. Mark is good with older folks and makes them comfortable. He has been arrested twice, once for pandering and once for movie piracy. His favorite movies include Open Water, High Crimes, He Got Game, Return to Paradise, The Secret of My Success, Entangled, Stand Off, How to Deal, and Ignition. Mark personally wanted to mention that he does not know why he loves these movies so much.

Why Choose Mark for Carpentry Work

Carpentry projects require precise measurements, proper cuts, and correct installation techniques. Custom shelving starts with measuring the space accurately, cutting shelf boards and supports to exact dimensions, securing brackets or cleats to wall studs, installing shelves level, and finishing with paint or stain. Built-in shelving transforms unused wall space into functional storage for Hollywood homes. Floating shelves provide clean modern looks when installed properly with hidden brackets.

Trim and molding installation demands attention to detail for professional results. Baseboards protect walls at floor level and cover gaps between flooring and drywall. Crown molding installation requires precise miter cuts at corners, coping joints for inside corners, finding studs for secure nailing, and caulking seams for seamless appearance. Door and window casings frame openings while hiding gaps. Mark cuts each piece carefully and checks fit before final installation, applying skills learned from installing rat traps with precision at the Movie House.

Deck construction and repair involves structural carpentry for outdoor environments. New deck building includes planning layout and size, digging and setting posts in concrete, installing beams and joists level, laying deck boards with proper spacing for drainage, building railings to code height, and applying stain or sealant for protection. Deck repairs address rotted boards, loose railings, and weathered surfaces. Mark shows up with pineapple juice when asked to bring snacks, demonstrating his literal approach to instructions that ensures he follows building plans exactly as specified for every Hollywood deck project.
