The right kind of carpentry for your job

"Carpentry" covers a lot of ground. Finish carpentry is trim, doors, stair parts, and built-ins, where tight joints show. Framing or rough carpentry is the structure: walls, floor systems, and deck framing. Tell us what you need, and share photos when we call, and we'll quote it accurately. If part of a job is outside what our crew does, we bring in a trusted subcontractor and let you know.

Rot repair is the most common call

Around Wilmington the biggest carpentry workload is replacing rotted wood outside: window sills and brickmold, door jambs and thresholds, porch columns, fascia, and deck boards. Delaware's humid summers and freeze-thaw winters are hard on any wood that stays wet. The right repair replaces the rot and fixes why it stayed wet: missing flashing, failed caulk, no drip edge, or wood touching the ground.

FAQ

Common questions

How much does a carpenter cost in Wilmington, DE?
Small jobs often run a few hundred dollars. Replacing an interior door is typically about $250–$700 and exterior rot repair about $250–$1,000+. Small jobs often carry a minimum charge for travel and setup. These are typical estimates, not quotes; we'll give you a written quote for your job.
Do quotes cost anything?
No. Quotes are free and there's no obligation to hire.
What's the difference between a carpenter and a handyman?
A carpenter specializes in woodwork: trim, doors, stairs, decks, framing, built-ins. Handymen cover a wider range of small repairs. For visible finish work or anything structural, a carpenter is usually the better choice.
Can I bundle several small carpentry jobs?
Yes, and you should. Small jobs carry a minimum charge for travel and setup, so a list of tasks in one visit is much more cost-effective.
Do carpenters pull permits?
For permitted work like decks, structural changes, or new openings, the contractor typically pulls the permit. Be cautious if a contractor asks you to pull it as the homeowner.
