| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood Rot & Dry Rot Repair | From $650 | Denver's dry, high-UV climate cracks and sun-checks wood faster than it rots it. Shaded sills near snowmelt still see real rot. We cut out decayed or sun-checked framing, siding and trim, then rebuild with rot-resistant lumber for a permanent repair, not a cosmetic patch. |
| Termite Damage Repair | From $1,200 | Termites are rare here; most wood damage in Denver comes from hail and UV cracking instead. On the occasional confirmed pest job, we replace damaged studs, sills, trim and subfloor sections per your inspection report and restore full structural integrity. |
| Floor Joist & Subfloor Repair | From $1,800 | Sagging or bouncy floors in Denver homes usually trace to damaged joists or subfloor. A foundation shifting with the freeze-thaw cycle can cause it too. 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 City and County of Denver building permit requirements. |
| Framing & Structural Carpentry | From $2,500 | Remodel framing done right, from new interior walls to build-outs and wall openings. Repairs to hail-damaged framing too, straight, plumb and code-compliant, 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 Denver homes, old and new. |
| Crown Molding & Baseboard Installation | From $450 | Crown molding, baseboards, chair rail and window trim installed clean and true. Coped joints and tight caulk lines match the period profiles Capitol Hill and Congress Park homes demand, or stay crisp and modern for newer builds. |
| Custom Built-Ins & Shelving | From $1,900 | Built-ins designed to fit Denver's housing stock, not a generic template. Bookshelves, window seats, media walls, closet systems and Murphy beds custom-fitted to Denver Square bay windows, craftsman bungalow alcoves and every sloped ceiling between. |
| Interior Door Installation & Repair | From $350 | Doors that stick or never latch right are common as Denver foundations shift with the freeze-thaw cycle. 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 Front Range hail and high-altitude sun. We properly flash, insulate and secure new units, and repair hail-dented or sun-cracked frames and thresholds. |
| Cabinet & Vanity Installation | From $1,100 | Precise installation on Denver's often out-of-level older floors is the real test of a cabinet job. We level kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities and laundry storage, scribe to out-of-square walls, and align hardware and doors. |
| Stair & Railing Repair | From $600 | Squeaky treads, loose banisters and worn stringers wear down the staircases Denver's historic homes climb every day. We repair and rebuild them, restore period railings, and install code-compliant handrails and attic ladders. |
| Deck & Porch Repair | From $900 | Denver sits at the epicenter of America's Hail Alley, and decks take a real beating most springs. We replace hail-dented or sun-dried boards, posts and railings, repair structural framing, and stay repair-first and honest about when replacement wins. |
| Fascia, Soffit & Exterior Trim Repair | From $700 | Dented or split fascia is the classic first sign of hail damage after a Front Range storm. Dry sun-cracking follows close behind. We replace fascia, soffits and exterior trim with primed, rot-resistant material, closing gaps that let in moisture and pests. |
What Affects the Price
- Extent of Damage or Project Scope : Larger areas of wood rot, more structural damage, or bigger finish projects require more time, materials, and expertise, which increases the overall cost.
- Material Quality and Specifications : The type and grade of wood, trim, doors, or hardware you choose will affect pricing. Premium materials cost more than standard options.
- Accessibility and Site Conditions : Hard-to-reach areas, tight spaces, or homes requiring special safety precautions may take longer and cost more to complete safely.
- Urgency and Timeline : If your project requires expedited completion or involves active water damage or structural concerns, rush scheduling may apply to pricing.

Pricing FAQ
Why do carpentry prices vary so much between different types of projects?
Carpentry work ranges from simple finish details like baseboards (starting at $450) to complex structural repairs like beam replacement (starting at $3,500). The difference reflects the skill level required, safety considerations, structural engineering, and materials involved. A small trim installation is fundamentally different from repairing a load-bearing wall.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. We provide free in-home inspections and detailed written estimates so you know exactly what the work will cost before we start. Call (720) 807-5448 to schedule your appointment at no obligation.
What's included in your starting prices?
Starting prices reflect the basic service with standard materials and typical conditions. Your final cost may vary based on the extent of damage, material upgrades, site accessibility, and local building code requirements. We'll break down all costs in your written estimate so there are no surprises.
Do you offer financing or payment plans?
We recommend discussing payment options when you call for your estimate. Many homeowners use credit cards, home equity lines of credit, or personal loans to finance larger projects like structural repairs or custom work.
Why is wood rot repair more expensive than trim work?
Wood rot and structural damage require careful diagnosis, removal of compromised wood, treatment of moisture sources, and replacement with properly installed framing. This is skilled, time-intensive work that protects your home's integrity, unlike decorative trim installation.
