We cut back to sound wood, find the water that caused it, and rebuild to last.

The exterminator handles the insects. We rebuild the wood they left behind.

Included in your service
Real structural carpentry: engineered beams, headers, and openings done to spec.
Included in your service
Straight, plumb and square: the bones every finish detail depends on.

Tight miters, scribed fits, consistent reveals. This is where a carpenter shows.

“We gutted our kitchen and living room, and Joliet Carpentry handled all the trim work, crown molding, baseboards, door casings, the whole nine yards. The attention to detail was incredible; every corner is crisp and the paint lines are perfect. They finished everything in about two weeks and left the place spotless.”
Finish & Trim Carpentry
“Had three interior doors that were warped and wouldn't close properly. The crew came out, assessed everything, and installed new solid wood doors with all new hardware. Took them half a day and now all three doors hang perfectly.”
Interior Door Installation & Repair
“We were adding a second story and needed new structural framing. These guys know their stuff, they laid out the entire frame, got everything square and plumb, and worked with our contractor seamlessly. The foundation of our addition is rock solid and we couldn't be happier with how they handled such a big job.”
Framing & Structural Carpentry
“Our old stone walls in the basement were beautiful but we needed some functional storage. They built custom shelving units that fit perfectly into the space and actually complement the character of the room instead of fighting it.”
Custom Built-Ins & Shelving
“The support beam in our basement was showing serious signs of age and we were worried about structural integrity. Joliet Carpentry came in, replaced the beam with a new engineered one, and made sure everything was properly supported during the work. They explained everything clearly and finished faster than expected. Highly recommend for any structural work.”
Beam Replacement & Load-Bearing Wall Removal
“Our Victorian porch was falling apart, rotted boards, loose railings, the works. They rebuilt the entire structure with new wood, replaced all the railings, and restored it to how it must have looked a hundred years ago. The craftsmanship is beautiful and it's solid as a rock now.”

| Service | Starting from | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Wood Rot & Dry Rot Repair | From $650 | Joliet's freeze-thaw winters, ice dams and wet springs drive water into the porch columns, sills and clapboard of Upper Bluff Victorians and East Side bungalows, and rot follows. We cut out decayed framing, siding and trim, treat the surrounding wood, and rebuild with rot-resistant lumber, a permanent repair, not a cosmetic patch. |
| Termite Damage Repair | From $1,200 | Subterranean termites are active in Will County, and they find the damp sill plates and basement framing of Joliet's older homes. After the exterminator leaves, the damaged wood stays, we replace termite-eaten 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 Joliet's older homes usually trace to rim joists and sills soaked by basement seepage on heavy clay, or to joists notched by a century of plumbing work. 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, with any permit the project requires pulled before work starts. |
| Framing & Structural Carpentry | From $2,500 | Remodel framing done right: new interior walls, basement finishing, garage and attic build-outs, wall openings, and repairs to storm- or water-damaged framing. Straight, plumb and square, 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 Joliet homes, from Victorian parlors to new subdivision builds. |
| Crown Molding & Baseboard Installation | From $450 | Crown molding, baseboards, chair rail and window trim installed with the coped joints and clean caulk lines that Joliet's Upper Bluff and Cathedral Area 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 Joliet's bungalows, foursquares and finished basements, 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, in Joliet homes that usually means frost-heaved clay under the footings or seasonal swelling in a damp house. 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 Joliet's sub-zero winds, driving snow and summer thunderstorms, 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 basement laundry storage, leveled on the out-of-level floors of Joliet'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 staircases Joliet homes climb every day, from Victorian front stairs to damp basement steps, restore period railings, and install solid, well-anchored handrails and attic ladders. |
| Deck & Porch Repair | From $900 | Snow load, freeze-thaw and wet springs along the Des Plaines and Hickory Creek are hard on Joliet decks and porches. We replace rotted boards, posts and railings, repair stairs and structural 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 clogged gutters push meltwater into Joliet rooflines every winter, and soft, peeling fascia is the first sign. We replace fascia, soffits and exterior trim with primed, rot-resistant material, closing the gaps that let moisture and pests into the roofline. |
