Our Carpentry Services in Louisville

All your work handled by qualified professionals in Louisville

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

  • 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

Our rates in Louisville

ServiceStarting fromDescription
🪵 Wood Rot & Dry Rot Repair From $650 Freeze-thaw winters and humid summers push dry rot into Louisville's pier-foundation homes. We cut out decayed framing, siding and trim in Old Louisville and Schnitzelburg alike, treat what remains, and rebuild with rot-resistant lumber, a permanent repair, not a cosmetic patch.
🐜 Termite Damage Repair From $1,200 Louisville's clay soil and rising humidity keep termite pressure real for the region's older wood-frame homes. 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 or bouncy floors often trace to joists stressed by seasonal clay-soil movement. We sister or replace compromised joists and rebuild subfloor sections in Highlands bungalows and Old Louisville Victorians alike, 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 Jefferson County permit requirements.
📐 Framing & Structural Carpentry From $2,500 Remodel framing done right: new interior walls, garage and basement build-outs, and wall openings. We also repair fire- or water-damaged framing, straight, plumb and code-compliant, the bones your finish work deserves.
🪚 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 across Louisville's bungalows and brick ranches alike.
👑 Crown Molding & Baseboard Installation From $450 Crown molding, baseboards, chair rail and window trim, installed with coped joints and clean caulk lines. Matched to Old Louisville's Victorian profiles, or kept crisp and modern for newer Jefferson County builds.
📚 Custom Built-Ins & Shelving From $1,900 Built-in bookshelves, window seats, media walls, closet systems and Murphy beds, fitted to every awkward alcove. Sized for the tight floor plans common in Highlands bungalows and Germantown shotgun houses.
🚪 Interior Door Installation & Repair From $350 Doors that stick, swing open on their own, or never latch right are common once pier foundations settle. We hang, adjust and replace interior doors, repair jambs and frames, and install pocket and barn doors throughout the home.
🔐 Exterior & Entry Door Installation From $850 Entry, back and French doors installed weather-tight against Ohio Valley humidity and winter freeze-thaw swings. Properly flashed, insulated and secured, with rotted door frames and thresholds repaired or the full unit replaced.
🗄️ Cabinet & Vanity Installation From $1,100 Precise installation of kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities and laundry storage, leveled to out-of-square walls. Common in the settled floors of Old Louisville and Butchertown, with hardware aligned and doors adjusted and scribed.
🪜 Stair & Railing Repair From $600 Squeaky treads, loose banisters and worn stringers get repaired and rebuilt, whatever era the staircase. We restore period railings in Old Louisville's Victorians and install code-compliant handrails and attic ladders throughout.
🌉 Deck & Porch Repair From $900 Humid summers and freeze-thaw 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 signal rot already moving into the roofline. We replace fascia, soffits and exterior trim with primed, rot-resistant material, closing the gaps that let Ohio Valley moisture and pests inside.
