| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood Rot & Dry Rot Repair | From $650 | Winston-Salem's long humid summers and red clay that holds water against crawlspace walls make wood rot a real threat to the city's craftsman bungalows and Victorian homes. We cut out decayed sills, siding and trim; treat surrounding wood; and rebuild with rot-resistant lumber, a permanent repair; not a cosmetic patch. |
| Termite Damage Repair | From $1,200 | Winston-Salem's humid climate keeps subterranean termites active much of the year in the city's older crawlspace homes. After the exterminator leaves; the damaged wood stays, we replace termite-eaten studs; sills; trim and subfloor sections across Winston-Salem homes; working from your pest inspection report and restoring full structural integrity. |
| Floor Joist & Subfloor Repair | From $1,800 | Sagging; bouncy or soft floors in Winston-Salem's older homes usually trace to termite-damaged joists or subfloor; or to damp crawlspaces over Piedmont clay letting moisture work into the framing. 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 to whatever permit your project calls for. |
| Framing & Structural Carpentry | From $2,500 | Remodel framing done right: new interior walls; basement and garage build-outs; wall openings; and repairs to storm- or termite-damaged framing. Straight; plumb and true to the drawings, 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 throughout Winston-Salem homes; old and new. |
| Crown Molding & Baseboard Installation | From $450 | Crown molding; baseboards; chair rail and window trim installed with the coped joints and clean caulk lines Winston-Salem's West End and Buena Vista homes demand, matched to existing period profiles or kept crisp and modern. |
| Custom Built-Ins & Shelving | From $1,900 | Built-in bookshelves; window seats; media walls; closet systems and Murphy beds designed for Winston-Salem's craftsman bungalows and Colonial Revival homes, custom-fitted to bay windows; sloped attic ceilings and every awkward alcove. |
| Interior Door Installation & Repair | From $350 | Doors that stick; swing open on their own; or never latched right, often the first sign of settling piers or termite damage inside the jamb in Winston-Salem homes. 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 Piedmont humidity; driving summer storms and winter ice, properly flashed; insulated and secured. We repair rotted or termite-damaged door frames and thresholds or replace the full unit. |
| Cabinet & Vanity Installation | From $1,100 | Precise installation of kitchen cabinets; bathroom vanities and laundry storage, leveled on Winston-Salem's often out-of-level older floors; scribed to out-of-square plaster walls; with hardware aligned and doors adjusted. |
| Stair & Railing Repair | From $600 | Squeaky treads; loose banisters; worn stringers: we repair and rebuild the staircases Winston-Salem's hillside homes and tall Victorians climb every day; restore period railings; and install sturdy handrails and attic ladders. |
| Deck & Porch Repair | From $900 | Humidity; termites and red clay that stays wet after every storm are hard on Winston-Salem decks and porches. We replace rotted or termite-damaged 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 of rot or termite entry moving in. We replace fascia; soffits and exterior trim with primed; rot-resistant material, closing the gaps that let moisture and pests into the roofline. |
