| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood Rot & Dry Rot Repair | From $650 | Northeast Ohio's freeze-thaw winters and lake-effect snowmelt keep wood wet long after storms pass. 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 is still sitting in your walls. We replace termite-eaten studs, sills, trim and subfloor sections across Cleveland homes, working from your pest inspection report and restoring full structural integrity. |
| Floor Joist & Subfloor Repair | From $1,800 | Sagging, bouncy or soft floors are common in Cleveland's century-old housing stock. 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 Cleveland permit requirements. |
| Framing & Structural Carpentry | From $2,500 | New interior walls, garage and basement build-outs, and wall openings, real remodel framing. We also repair fire- or water-damaged framing, straight, plumb and built for a real Ohio winter, 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 Cleveland's bungalows, doubles and Tudor homes. |
| Crown Molding & Baseboard Installation | From $450 | Crown molding, baseboards, chair rail and window trim, installed with coped joints and clean caulk lines. Matched to Shaker Heights and Cleveland Heights' Tudor and Colonial 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, built for tight floor plans. Custom-fitted to dormers, sloped ceilings and every awkward alcove of a Cleveland bungalow or double. |
| Interior Door Installation & Repair | From $350 | A Cleveland classic: doors that stick or never latch right as the house settles each freeze-thaw season. 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 lake-effect wind and driving snow. Properly flashed, insulated and secured, with rotted door frames and thresholds repaired or the full unit replaced. |
| Cabinet & Vanity Installation | From $1,100 | Precise installation of kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities and laundry storage on rarely-level, century-old floors. Scribed to out-of-square walls, with hardware aligned and doors adjusted before we leave. |
| Stair & Railing Repair | From $600 | Squeaky treads, loose banisters, worn stringers: we repair the staircases Cleveland's older homes climb every day. We restore period railings and install code-compliant handrails and attic ladders. |
| Deck & Porch Repair | From $900 | Snow load and ice are hard on decks and porches through a Northeast Ohio winter. We replace rotted boards, posts and railings, repair stairs and framing, and get outdoor spaces safe and solid, repair-first, honest about when replacement wins. |
| Fascia, Soffit & Exterior Trim Repair | From $700 | Ice dams and lake-effect snowmelt are the first sign of rot moving in behind fascia and soffit. We replace fascia, soffits and exterior trim with primed, rot-resistant material, closing the gaps that let moisture and pests into the roofline. |
What Affects the Price
- Extent of Damage or Project Scope : Larger areas requiring repair or more extensive structural work will cost more than minor fixes. A small wood rot spot differs significantly from widespread damage affecting multiple joists or beams.
- Material Quality and Type : The grade of lumber, type of trim, or custom materials you choose will affect the final cost. Premium finishes and specialty woods cost more than standard options.
- Labor Complexity and Time : Intricate finish carpentry, load-bearing structural work, and custom built-ins require skilled labor and more time than straightforward installations.
- Site Accessibility and Existing Conditions : Projects in tight spaces, high areas, or homes with difficult access may require additional setup time and specialized equipment, increasing labor costs.
