Our services

Our Carpentry Services in Philadelphia

All your work handled by qualified professionals in Philadelphia

Wood Rot & Dry Rot Repair

We cut back to sound wood, find the water that caused it, and rebuild to last.

Included in your service

  • Probing to map how far the decay actually runs
  • Decayed framing, siding and trim cut out, not filled over
  • Rebuilt in redwood, Douglas fir or primed rot-resistant stock
  • The moisture source traced and closed, or the rot returns
Learn more→

Termite Damage Repair

The exterminator handles the insects. We rebuild the wood they left behind.

Included in your service

  • We work from your pest inspection report, section by section
  • Eaten studs, sill plates, rim joists and subfloor replaced
  • Structural integrity restored before finishes go back on
  • No treatment, no fumigation: pest control is a separate trade
Learn more→

Floor Joist & Subfloor Repair

Soft, bouncy or sloping floors almost always start under the finish surface.

Included in your service

  • Joists, subfloor and bearing points inspected from below
  • Sistering where a joist is sound enough to keep
  • Full joist or subfloor replacement where it is not
  • Straight answer on what is old settling and what is real damage
Learn more→

Beam Replacement & Load-Bearing Wall Removal

Real structural carpentry: engineered beams, headers, and openings done to spec.

Included in your service

  • Temporary shoring set before anything load-bearing comes out
  • Engineered beams and headers installed to the drawings
  • We say plainly when your job needs a structural engineer first
  • Built to the permit set, ready for city inspection
Learn more→

Framing & Structural Carpentry

Straight, plumb and square: the bones every finish detail depends on.

Included in your service

  • New interior walls, openings, garage and basement build-outs
  • Stud framing, headers and blocking sized for the span
  • Fire and water damaged framing cut back and rebuilt
  • Laid out so drywall, trim and cabinets land where they should
Learn more→

Finish & Trim Carpentry

Tight miters, scribed fits, consistent reveals. This is where a carpenter shows.

Included in your service

  • Casing, paneling and wainscoting fitted to the room as built
  • Scribing to walls that are neither flat nor plumb
  • Coped joints on inside corners instead of caulked gaps
  • Profiles matched to existing Victorian and Edwardian millwork
Learn more→

Crown Molding & Baseboard Installation

Crown, base and casing cut for the ceiling you actually have, not a perfect one.

Included in your service

  • Coped inside corners, mitered and glued outside corners
  • Baseboard, chair rail and window trim run to a clean line
  • Period profiles matched or kept crisp and modern, your call
  • Filled, sanded and caulked ready for paint
Learn more→

Custom Built-Ins & Shelving

Built for the alcove you have: bay windows, sloped ceilings, awkward corners.

Included in your service

  • Bookshelves, window seats, media walls and Murphy beds
  • Designed around compact floor plans, not around stock sizes
  • Scribed and shimmed so nothing reads as an add-on
  • Face frames, doors and drawers aligned before we leave
Learn more→

Interior Door Installation & Repair

Doors that stick or swing open on their own are usually the frame, not the door.

Included in your service

  • Jamb, hinges and reveal checked before anything is replaced
  • Doors hung, planed and adjusted to a settled opening
  • Damaged jambs and door frames repaired rather than swapped
  • Pocket and barn door hardware installed and tuned
Learn more→

Exterior & Entry Door Installation

Entry, back and French doors set weather-tight against fog and wind-driven rain.

Included in your service

  • Opening flashed and sill pan set before the unit goes in
  • Rotted frames and thresholds repaired or fully replaced
  • Shimmed plumb so the door seals along its whole edge
  • Weatherstripping, hardware and strike plates fitted properly
Learn more→

Cabinet & Vanity Installation

Level cabinets in a house where almost nothing is level. That is the whole job.

Included in your service

  • Floors and walls checked and a true level line struck first
  • Boxes shimmed, scribed to out-of-square walls and fastened
  • Kitchen, bath vanity and laundry storage set as one run
  • Doors, drawers and hardware aligned and adjusted at the end
Learn more→

Stair & Railing Repair

Squeaky treads and loose banisters, repaired without rebuilding the whole stair.

Included in your service

  • Stringers, treads and risers checked for wear and movement
  • Loose newel posts and balusters re-anchored, not just glued
  • Period railings restored where the original stock is sound
  • Handrails and attic ladders installed to code height and grip
Learn more→

Deck & Porch Repair

Repair first. We only recommend replacing when the framing no longer justifies it.

Included in your service

  • Boards, posts, stairs and framing probed for hidden decay
  • Rotted members replaced, sound structure kept and reused
  • Ledger connection and flashing checked where the deck meets the house
  • An honest repair-versus-replace number before work starts
Learn more→

Fascia, Soffit & Exterior Trim Repair

Soft fascia and peeling paint at the roofline are the first sign of rot moving in.

Included in your service

  • Fascia, soffit and exterior trim replaced back to sound wood
  • Primed rot-resistant material on all six faces before install
  • Gaps closed so moisture and pests stop getting into the roofline
  • Ready for paint, with the water path corrected first

“We wanted to maximize storage in our old kitchen without doing a full remodel, and Philadelphia Carpentry built us custom shelving that fits perfectly into the awkward corner space we had. The team showed up on time, took measurements twice to get it right, and finished in just two days. Looks like it was always supposed to be there.”

“Had them install crown molding and new baseboards throughout our living room and foyer after we realized the old stuff was damaged from water issues. They matched the existing trim perfectly and the attention to detail was impressive, every corner is crisp and clean. Really transformed the whole space.”

“Our back porch was starting to sag and we were worried about safety. Philadelphia Carpentry came out, diagnosed the problem, and replaced the damaged joists. The work took about a week and now the deck is solid again. They cleaned up every scrap of wood at the end too.”

“Replaced our front door with a beautiful new solid wood entry door. The crew handled the installation professionally and made sure everything was sealed tight against drafts. The door swings perfectly and looks way better than the original.”

“One of our bedroom doors was sticking badly and another was warped. Rather than replace them, we had Philadelphia Carpentry repair and rehang both doors. They're smooth as silk now and actually close properly for the first time in years.”

“Our basement stairs had loose treads and the wooden railing was wobbly, definitely a safety issue with kids in the house. They tightened everything up, reinforced the railing, and even sanded and finished a couple of worn spots. Feels solid underfoot now and we're not worried anymore.”

“Our fascia and soffit on the back of the house were rotting out and looked terrible. The team replaced the damaged sections with quality materials and the trim work is sharp. It's amazing how much that improved the whole appearance of our home.”
