What are some common carpentry repairs you do in Salem?
Our technicians frequently replace dry-rotted boards in decks, fences, and exterior wall trim. We also upgraded weathered front door surrounds and reconstructed damaged sections of wooden privacy fences. Many older Salem homes require window, baseboard, or crown molding repairs, too.
How do you match existing elements like Victorian gingerbread trim?
We identify unique architectural details neighborhood by neighborhood. Then, we recreate intricate original woodwork by hand-carving new trims and moldings. Our carpenters will create templates for jobs with many custom elements to ensure accuracy. We also match fewer ornate details, such as the baseboard style.
What materials do you use for deck resurfacing in Salem?
It depends on your goals, usage, and whether you want a wood or composite deck. We recommend durable tropical hardwoods for a natural wood look that better withstands weather shifts. Composites like Trex are great for low maintenance and come in wood-like grain patterns. Both redecking options will blend beautifully with Salem home exteriors.
How can I protect my fence from further dry rot damage?
Replacing rotten planks is step one, but protective finishing is also key. We apply penetrating stains and sealants specially designed for horizontal exterior wood surfaces like fences, decks, and siding. These clear finishes repel moisture while allowing the wood to breathe, preventing future warping, cracking, and rot issues.
What’s your warranty on carpentry repair work?
We stand behind every project 100% by providing written guarantees of 1 year for labor and 2 years for materials. We also offer 2-5 year extended warranties on bigger jobs. And you can rely on our original quality craftsmanship because we use the best application methods and building practices.
