Carpentry Work We Do

No job too small — and because we're a licensed general contractor, none of it gets handed off.

Trim & Molding

Baseboard, casing, crown, wainscoting, and repairs that match your existing profiles — caulked, filled, and paint-ready.

Doors & Hardware

Sticking doors, new slabs and prehungs, locksets — full details on our door repair & installation page.

Rot Repair

Fascia, window sills, door jambs, deck posts — rotted wood cut out and rebuilt properly, not caulked over.

Shelving & Built-Ins

Closet systems, garage shelving, mudroom benches, and built-in bookcases — designed for your space and anchored right.

Deck & Railing Repairs

Loose railings, spongy boards, and stair fixes — see deck repair & staining for the full service.

Framing & Structural Fixes

Sagging headers, out-of-square openings, and small framing repairs — the licensed-GC work most handymen can't touch.

Why Hire a Carpenter-First Crew

Carpentry is the foundation skillDoors, decks, drywall, kitchens — they all come back to woodwork. A crew that cuts clean joints does everything else better too.
Licensed GC for the structural stuffWhen a repair turns out to be framing, we're licensed to fix it properly — permits and all — instead of walking away.
Finished means finishedFilled nail holes, caulked seams, swept floors, and hauled-away scraps — ready for paint, not for another contractor.

Carpentry FAQ

Is my job too small?

No — one stretch of baseboard or one rotted sill is a fine visit, though batching a few carpentry items gets you the most from the trip.

Can you match my existing trim?

Usually yes — most profiles are still milled, and close matches can be blended. On older custom profiles we'll show you the nearest option before committing.

Repair the rot or replace the whole thing?

If the surrounding wood is sound, a proper dutchman or section replacement beats full replacement. We'll open it up, show you photos, and quote both ways when it's close.

Do you build custom pieces?

Shelving, built-ins, benches, and closet systems — yes. Fine furniture — no, and we'll say so.

What does carpentry cost?

It depends on scope and materials, which is why every quote is free, written, and one clear number before work starts.
