| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood Rot & Dry Rot Repair | From $650 | Baltimore's humid summers and old wood-frame porches make rot a recurring problem here. We cut out decayed framing, 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 | After the exterminator leaves, the damaged wood stays. We replace termite-eaten framing and subfloor in Baltimore rowhomes, per your inspection report. |
| Floor Joist & Subfloor Repair | From $1,800 | Sagging, bouncy or soft floors in older Baltimore rowhomes usually trace to damaged joists or subfloor. 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 permit requirements. |
| Framing & Structural Carpentry | From $2,500 | Remodel framing done right: new walls, basement build-outs and wall openings. 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 Baltimore homes, old and new. |
| Crown Molding & Baseboard Installation | From $450 | Crown molding, baseboards, chair rail and window trim installed with tight coped joints and clean lines. Matched to a Baltimore rowhome's original profiles or kept crisp and modern. |
| Custom Built-Ins & Shelving | From $1,900 | Custom built-ins for Baltimore rowhomes: bookshelves, window seats, media walls and closet systems. Fitted to narrow rooms, bay windows and awkward alcoves. |
| Interior Door Installation & Repair | From $350 | Doors that stick, swing open on their own, or never latched right, common as Baltimore rowhomes settle over time. 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 wind-driven rain and winter cold. We repair rotted frames and thresholds or replace the full unit. |
| Cabinet & Vanity Installation | From $1,100 | Precise cabinet installation for kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms. Leveled on a rowhome's settled floors, scribed to out-of-square walls. |
| Stair & Railing Repair | From $600 | Squeaky treads, loose banisters, worn stringers, we repair and rebuild staircases. Restoring period railings and code-compliant handrails too. |
| Deck & Porch Repair | From $900 | Humidity and freeze-thaw winters are hard on decks and porches. We replace rotted boards, posts and railings, repair framing, and get outdoor spaces safe again. |
| Fascia, Soffit & Exterior Trim Repair | From $700 | Soft, peeling fascia boards are the first sign rot has taken hold. We replace fascia and soffits with rot-resistant material, closing gaps for pests and moisture. |
What Affects the Price
- Extent of Damage or Project Scope : Larger areas requiring repair, replacement, or new installation naturally cost more. A small wood rot spot differs significantly from extensive subfloor replacement.
- Material Selection and Quality : Premium wood species, custom finishes, and high-grade materials increase project costs. We work with your budget while recommending durable options.
- Accessibility and Structural Complexity : Hard-to-reach areas, load-bearing elements, and structural considerations require specialized expertise and take longer, affecting final pricing.
- Permits and Code Compliance : Structural work and certain repairs may require permits or inspections. We handle this transparently and include necessary compliance costs in estimates.
