Forty inches of rain and moss that never dries: in Tacoma, rot starts in the lowest boards and the porch sills.

Soft or sagging floors over a damp crawl space are a South Sound classic, fixed from the joists up.

“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.”
Cabinet & Vanity Installation
“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.”
Custom Built-Ins & Shelving
“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.”
Deck & Porch Repair
“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.”
Exterior & Entry Door Installation
“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.”
Crown Molding & Baseboard Installation
“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.”
Stair & Railing Repair
“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.”
Interior Door Installation & Repair
“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.”

| Service | Starting from | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Wood Rot & Dry Rot Repair | From $650 | In Tacoma, wood rot is a rain problem: about 40 inches a year and gray winters that never fully dry the siding. Moss holds that water against sills, trim and porch decks for months. We cut out the rotted wood, treat what remains and rebuild with rot-resistant lumber and proper flashing, a lasting repair rather than a cosmetic patch. |
| Termite Damage Repair | From $1,200 | The damp South Sound climate draws carpenter ants and dampwood termites into wet framing around Tacoma. They settle in sills, rim joists and studs that have stayed wet behind a leak. We replace pest-damaged framing and subfloor, then correct the moisture source that brought them in. |
| Floor Joist & Subfloor Repair | From $1,800 | A bouncy or soft floor in an older Tacoma house usually sits over a damp crawl space with slowly rotting joists. Poor venting, a slow plumbing leak or carpenter ants are the usual causes. We sister or replace the weak joists and rebuild subfloor sections, leveling the floor before finishes go back down. |
| Beam Replacement & Load-Bearing Wall Removal | From $3,500 | Opening up a North End foursquare or fixing a sagging beam in a Lakewood rambler takes real structural carpentry. We install engineered beams, replace undersized headers and remove load-bearing walls, built to the engineer's drawings and the permit that applies at your address. |
| Framing & Structural Carpentry | From $2,500 | Remodel framing around Tacoma covers basement finishes, attic rooms, garage conversions and storm-damaged walls. A windstorm that sends a fir limb through the roof often leaves framing to rebuild as well. We frame new walls, repair water- or storm-damaged framing and keep every wall plumb, square and ready for the trades that follow. |
| Finish & Trim Carpentry | From $550 | Tight miters, scribed fits and even reveals are what set a finish carpenter apart from a handyman. We install casing, paneling, wainscoting and custom trim in Stadium District Victorians, North End Craftsman bungalows and newer Gig Harbor homes alike. |
| Crown Molding & Baseboard Installation | From $450 | Crown molding, baseboard, chair rail and window trim installed with clean, properly coped joints. We match the old-growth fir profiles of Tacoma's Victorian, Craftsman and Tudor homes, or keep the lines simple and crisp in newer University Place and South Hill subdivisions. |
| Custom Built-Ins & Shelving | From $1,900 | Bookshelves, window seats, media walls and Murphy beds built for the rooms you actually use. We restore the original fir built-ins of Proctor and Sixth Avenue bungalows or add storage to Fircrest ramblers, scribed to bay windows, sloped attic ceilings and awkward alcoves. |
| Interior Door Installation & Repair | From $350 | Damp South Sound winters swell old fir doors, and century-old Tacoma houses keep settling around them. The result is doors that stick, drift open or never latch. We plane, rehang or replace the doors themselves, rebuild tired jambs and fit pocket or barn doors where a swing door gets in the way. |
| Exterior & Entry Door Installation | From $850 | Entry, back and French doors set weather-tight against the wind-driven rain that comes off Puget Sound. Where the door is still sound we repair rotted frames and thresholds, otherwise we replace the full unit with a proper sill pan and head flashing. |
| Cabinet & Vanity Installation | From $1,100 | Cabinets and vanities set level on the settled floors of older Tacoma homes. We scribe them to out-of-square plaster walls, shim them true and line up doors and hardware so every reveal matches, in Hilltop kitchens and Bonney Lake baths alike. |
| Stair & Railing Repair | From $600 | Squeaky treads, loose banisters and worn stringers are repaired on staircases of every age. That covers the grand fir flights of the Stadium District and North Slope as much as newer two-story builds. We restore period railings and set handrails that feel solid in the hand. |
| Deck & Porch Repair | From $900 | South Sound rain and moss are hard on decks and porches, keeping boards wet for months on end. Posts rot where they meet the ground. Slick moss also makes the steps dangerous. We replace damaged boards, posts and railings, repair stairs and framing and tell you honestly when replacement makes more sense. |
| Fascia, Soffit & Exterior Trim Repair | From $700 | When fir needles clog the gutters, rot starts behind the gutter and under the roof edge long before you see it. We replace fascia and soffits with weather-resistant material, reopen blocked attic vents and seal the trim so water runs off instead of in. |
