RESIDENTIAL CARPENTRY SERVICES

Our craftsmen all have years of trade experience behind them

cARPENTRY AND WOOD ROT REPAIR SERVICES FOR HOMEOWNERS IN THE DMV AREA

You know the spots. The soft trim by the front door. The deck board that flexes a little when you step on it. The window frame that's been going since last winter. Wood problems don’t often demand attention, but left alone, they tend to spread and get more extensive with time.


That's where we come in. While painting is our craft, good carpentry is what makes a paint job last and a home stay sound. Our craftsmen bring years of trade experience to every job, whether you need rotted wood found and replaced, a door that finally closes right, or a deck you can trust before grilling season.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • How do I know if I have wood rot?

    Some signs are obvious, like soft or spongy wood, peeling paint, dark stains, or visible crumbling. Others hide until you go looking: around windows and doors, along trim and fascia, where decks meet the house, anywhere water sits.

  • Can you repair just the rotted section, or does the whole piece need replacing?

    It depends on how far it's gone. If we catch it early, we can often cut out and replace just the affected area. Once rot has spread through a board or into structural wood, full replacement is the sounder long-term fix.

  • Why does wood rot keep coming back in the same spots?

    Because rot is a moisture problem first and a wood problem second. If the underlying cause is still there, like poor drainage, a failed seal, bad flashing, or paint that's no longer protecting the surface, new wood will eventually go the same way. We address the source where we can, not just the symptom, so the repair actually holds.

  • Do you paint and finish the carpentry work too?

    Yes. This is where being a painting company and a carpentry company under one roof pays off. We can repair the wood, then prime and paint it to match, so the fix disappears into your home instead of standing out as a patch.

  • Can you handle deck and fence repairs, not just repairs on the house?

    Absolutely. Decks and fences take a hard beating from weather and sun, and they're common spots for loose boards, popped fasteners, wobbly railings, and rot. We repair them, and we can seal, stain, or paint them while we're at it, so your outdoor spaces are both safe and looking their best for the season.
