| 🪵 Wood Rot & Dry Rot Repair |
From $650 |
Syracuse's lake-effect snow, ice dams and long freeze-thaw winters make wood rot the most common failure on the city's Victorian porches, two-family flats and Arts and Crafts homes. We cut out decayed sills, 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 |
Carpenter ants are the insect that eats Syracuse's damp sills and porch posts, with subterranean termites showing up now and then. Once the pest treatment is done, the damaged wood stays: we replace hollowed studs, sills, trim and subfloor sections, working from your pest inspection report and restoring full structural integrity. |
| 🔩 Floor Joist & Subfloor Repair |
From $1,800 |
Sagging, bouncy or soft floors in Syracuse's older homes usually trace to sills rotted by wet stone basements, joists notched long ago for plumbing, or insect damage at the bearing ends. 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 tired 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 coordinated with the permit your project needs. |
| 📐 Framing & Structural Carpentry |
From $2,500 |
Remodel framing done right: new interior walls, attic and garage build-outs, wall openings, and repairs to snow- or rot-damaged framing. Straight, plumb and built to code, 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 Syracuse homes, from Victorian parlors to post-war ranches. |
| 👑 Crown Molding & Baseboard Installation |
From $450 |
Crown molding, baseboards, chair rail and window trim installed with the coped joints and clean caulk lines that Sedgwick and Strathmore homes demand, matched to existing period 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 designed for Syracuse's Arts and Crafts homes and Victorian flats, custom-fitted to bay windows, sloped attic ceilings and every awkward alcove. |
| 🚪 Interior Door Installation & Repair |
From $350 |
Doors that stick, swing open on their own, or never latched right, often the first sign of a settling sill or seasonal swelling in Syracuse homes. 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 snow, wind-driven sleet and humid summers, properly flashed, insulated and secured. We repair rotted door frames and thresholds or replace the full unit. |
| 🗄️ Cabinet & Vanity Installation |
From $1,100 |
Precise installation of kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities and laundry storage, leveled on the out-of-level floors of Syracuse's older homes, scribed to out-of-square plaster walls, with hardware aligned and doors adjusted. |
| 🪜 Stair & Railing Repair |
From $600 |
Squeaky treads, loose banisters, worn stringers: we repair and rebuild the steep interior stairs of Syracuse's two-family flats and Victorians, restore period railings, and install code-compliant handrails and attic ladders. |
| 🌉 Deck & Porch Repair |
From $900 |
Snow load, freeze-thaw and spring meltwater are hard on Syracuse decks and the stacked front porches of its two-family flats. We replace rotted boards, posts and railings, repair stairs and structural framing, and get outdoor spaces safe and solid, repair-first and honest about when replacement wins. |
| 🏠 Fascia, Soffit & Exterior Trim Repair |
From $700 |
Peeling paint and soft fascia boards are the first sign that ice dams and meltwater have moved into the roofline. We replace fascia, soffits and exterior trim with primed, rot-resistant material, closing the gaps that let moisture and pests in. |
