  • New lumber back-primed before it goes on a wet-side wall

Carpenter ants and dampwood termites follow the water, so we repair the wood and close off the leak.

Included in your service

  • Hollowed studs, sills and rim joists cut out and replaced
  • Frass and soft spots traced back to the wet source first
  • Leaking flashing or a porch roof that drew the pests corrected

  • Rotted subfloor cut out and rebuilt under the finished floor

  • Temporary shoring set before any bearing wall comes down
  • Posts carried down to proper bearing in the crawl space
  • Ceiling and floor patched so the new opening looks original

  • Openings framed ready for the electrician and drywall crew

  • Wainscoting scribed to walls that settled a century ago
  • Missing fir trim pieces milled to match the originals

  • Inside corners coped, outside corners glued and pinned
  • Baseboard scribed to old floors that dip and wander

  • Hinge mortises recut so the door hangs true in its frame
  • Split jambs and loose stops repaired or replaced

Learn more→

Exterior & Entry Door Installation

Puget Sound rain finds every gap, so an entry door is only as good as its sill pan and flashing.

Included in your service

  • Rotted thresholds and jamb bottoms cut out and rebuilt
  • Sill pan and head flashing installed under the new unit
  • Weatherstripping set so the door seals without forcing it
  • Exterior trim primed and sealed against wind-driven rain
Learn more→

Cabinet & Vanity Installation

Settled floors and wavy plaster are normal in an old Tacoma kitchen, and we set cabinets level anyway.

Included in your service

  • Base cabinets shimmed level across uneven floors
  • Filler strips scribed to out-of-square plaster walls
  • Wall cabinets hung to a level line, not to a sloping ceiling
  • Doors, drawers and hardware aligned to matching reveals

  • Loose newel posts anchored back into the framing
  • Worn treads and cracked balusters replaced to match
  • Handrails set at a steady height that is easy to grip
Learn more→

Deck & Porch Repair

  • Rotted boards, posts and railings replaced, sound wood kept
  • Stair stringers and treads rebuilt with good footing
  • Honest repair or replace advice before any work starts

Included in your service

  • Fascia and soffit probed along the full run of the eave
  • Rotted boards replaced with primed, weather-resistant stock
  • Blocked soffit vents reopened so the attic can breathe
  • Gutter rehung so water runs off the house, not into the wood

“We needed new kitchen cabinets and countertop installed, and Tacoma Carpentry nailed it. The crew showed up on time, took care with the existing counters during removal, and had everything level and secure by end of day. Really impressed with how clean they left the workspace.”

“Had them build out a whole living room library with custom shelving from floor to ceiling. The attention to detail was unreal, every shelf is perfectly level, the stain matches beautifully, and they even added hidden supports so nothing looks cluttered. Best investment we've made in our home.”

“Our back deck was falling apart after years of weather damage. They replaced about 40% of the boards, reinforced the joists, and the whole thing feels solid again. Cost was fair and they finished in just three days without making a mess of the yard.”

“Replaced our old front door with a beautiful new entry door. The installation was quick and professional, they made sure it swings smooth and seals tight against drafts. Huge difference in how the house looks from the street.”

“We wanted crown molding in our dining room and new baseboards throughout the first floor. The crew measured everything twice, got the angles perfect, and the finish work is so clean you'd think it came that way. They even caulked and prepped everything for paint.”

“Our interior staircase had loose treads and a wobbly handrail, safety hazard with two kids in the house. They tightened everything up, replaced a couple damaged boards, and refinished the solid wood railing. Now it's safe and looks brand new.”

“Had a stuck bedroom door and needed two new closet doors hung. They got here early, had it all done by lunch, and the doors close smoothly without any binding. Small job but they treated it like it mattered.”

“The fascia and soffit on our eaves were rotting and pulling away from the house. They replaced the damaged sections with quality materials and sealed everything properly so we won't have water issues. Looks professional and should last another 20 years.”
