Every line above is on the written estimate for your light carpentry & wood repair job.
Why one crew matters
The usual sequence is: painter finds rot, homeowner calls a carpenter, carpenter comes in three weeks, painter comes back after that, and the job slips a month. We cut that out. The rot is identified at the estimate, priced on the estimate, and repaired by the same people who show up to paint.
Matched to the house, not to the lumber yard
New England trim profiles are not stock. We match the profile, the reveal and the thickness of what is already on your house — and use PVC or primed finger-joint where it belongs, so the repair disappears under the finish coat instead of announcing itself.
Worth a look before you commit to anyone.
Found it, priced it, no surprises
Hidden rot happens. When we open something up and find more than the estimate covered, you get a photo, a number and a decision before anybody swings a hammer. You will never get a surprise line item at the end of the job.
What it costs
Anybody who gives you a price for light carpentry & wood repair over the phone, sight unseen, is guessing — and the guess is usually low so they can raise it later. The three things that actually move the number are the size of the job, the condition of what is already there, and how much repair work is hiding under the surface.
So we come look. The visit is free, it takes about thirty minutes, and you get an itemized written estimate with a fixed price you can hold us to. If a comparison quote comes in lower, bring it to us — we will tell you honestly what is missing from it.
Thirty minutes on site is all it takes to give you a fixed number.
