Why Fix the Wood First

Stops Rot From Spreading

We remove soft, damaged wood and replace it before moisture moves into the framing behind it.

Paint That Lasts

New paint only holds up on solid wood. Repairs first means a finish that won't peel or crack early.

Clean, Matching Work

New trim and boards are cut to match the existing profiles, so repairs blend in with the house.

One Crew, One Job

The same team handles the carpentry and the painting. No waiting between contractors.

Carpentry Questions

What counts as light carpentry?

Repairs and small replacements: rotted trim, window and door frames, fascia, soffits, siding boards, deck boards, railings, and interior molding. We don't do structural framing or additions.

Do you repair wood rot before painting?

Yes. Painting over rot hides the problem and lets it spread. We replace the damaged wood first, then prime and paint so the repair is protected.

Can you match my existing trim?

In most cases, yes. We match common trim and molding profiles and size new boards to fit with what is already on the house.

Do you do carpentry without painting?

We can, but most jobs pair repairs with painting so the new wood is sealed and matches the rest of the home.
