“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.”
Custom Built-Ins & Shelving
“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.”
Crown Molding & Baseboard Installation
“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.”
Deck & Porch Repair
“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.”
Exterior & Entry Door Installation
“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.”
Interior Door Installation & Repair
“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.”
Stair & Railing Repair
“We upgraded our bathroom vanity and needed professionals to install it properly. Philadelphia Carpentry got it level, secured it right, and made sure all the plumbing connections lined up. The whole job was done in an afternoon and it looks like it belongs there.”
Cabinet & Vanity Installation
“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.”

| Service | Starting from | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Wood Rot & Dry Rot Repair | From $650 | Philadelphia's humid summers and freeze-thaw winters make wood rot a fact of life in older rowhouses. We cut out decayed framing, siding and trim, treat surrounding wood, and rebuild with rot-resistant lumber for a permanent repair, not a cosmetic patch. |
| Termite Damage Repair | From $1,200 | After the exterminator leaves, damaged wood in your Philadelphia rowhouse still needs replacing. We replace termite-eaten studs, sills, trim and subfloor sections, working from your pest inspection report and restoring full structural integrity. |
| Floor Joist & Subfloor Repair | From $1,800 | Sagging, bouncy or soft floors in century-old Philadelphia rowhouses usually trace to damaged joists or subfloor. We sister or replace compromised joists and rebuild subfloor sections, leveling floors before finishes go back down. |
| Beam Replacement & Load-Bearing Wall Removal | From $3,500 | Open-concept conversions and failing beams call for real structural carpentry. We install engineered beams, replace sagging headers and remove load-bearing walls, always built to the engineer's specs and city permit requirements. |
| Framing & Structural Carpentry | From $2,500 | Remodel framing done right, from new interior walls to basement and rear addition build-outs. We handle wall openings and repairs to fire- or water-damaged framing, straight, plumb and code-compliant. |
| Finish & Trim Carpentry | From $550 | The details that separate a real finish carpenter from a handyman: tight miters, scribed fits, consistent reveals. Casing, paneling, wainscoting and custom trim work throughout Philadelphia's rowhouses and twins, old and new. |
| Crown Molding & Baseboard Installation | From $450 | Crown molding, baseboards, chair rail and window trim, installed with clean caulk lines and coped joints. Matched to the Victorian profiles Philadelphia's older homes carry, or kept crisp and modern in a newer build. |
| Custom Built-Ins & Shelving | From $1,900 | Built-in bookshelves, window seats, media walls and closets, fitted to Philadelphia's narrow rowhouse floor plans. Every bay window, sloped attic ceiling and awkward alcove gets its own solution. |
| Interior Door Installation & Repair | From $350 | Doors that stick, swing open on their own, or never latched right are a rowhouse classic once the frame settles. We hang, adjust and replace interior doors, repair jambs and frames, and install pocket and barn doors. |
| Exterior & Entry Door Installation | From $850 | Entry, back and French doors installed weather-tight against humid summer storms and nor'easter rain. We properly flash, insulate and secure every unit, and repair rotted frames and thresholds or replace them outright. |
| Cabinet & Vanity Installation | From $1,100 | Precise installation of kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities and laundry storage, leveled on floors that rarely sit flat. We scribe to out-of-square walls and align every drawer. |
| Stair & Railing Repair | From $600 | Squeaky treads, loose banisters and worn stringers get repaired on Philadelphia's narrow rowhouse staircases. We restore period railings and install code-compliant handrails and attic ladders. |
| Deck & Porch Repair | From $900 | Humid summers and freezing winters are hard on decks and porches. We replace rotted boards, posts and railings, repair stairs and structural framing, and get outdoor spaces safe and solid, repair-first, honest about when replacement wins. |
| Fascia, Soffit & Exterior Trim Repair | From $700 | Peeling paint and soft fascia boards are the first sign that rot has started moving through the roofline. We replace fascia, soffits and exterior trim with primed, rot-resistant material, closing the gaps that let moisture and pests inside. |
