Why Potomac Homeowners Choose Professional Carpentry Services
Quality carpentry does more than fix problems—it elevates your home's functionality, aesthetics, and long-term value. Whether you're adding storage with custom built-ins, replacing rotted trim, installing crown molding, or building a deck for outdoor living.
Our Potomac carpentry services start with understanding your vision and assessing your space. We measure precisely, select materials that suit your home's style and your budget, and execute with attention to grain direction, joint quality, and finished appearance. Every cut is square, every joint is tight, and every installation is level and secure.
Custom Built-Ins & Shelving
Storage and display needs are unique to every home and family. Our residential carpentry services in Potomac include custom-designed built-ins, bookcases, shelving units, and storage solutions tailored to your exact specifications and space constraints.
We start with a consultation to understand how you use the space—what you need to store, display, or organize—then design units that maximize functionality while complementing your home's style. Whether it's floor-to-ceiling library shelves with adjustable spacing.
Crown Molding & Trim Installation
Trim and molding define a room's character and signal quality construction. Our carpenters in Potomac install crown molding, baseboards, chair rails, wainscoting, and window/door casings with precision cuts, seamless joints.
Crown molding adds elegance and visual height to living rooms, dining rooms, and primary bedrooms. We match existing profiles in older homes or help you select new styles that suit your aesthetic.
Door Installation & Repair
Doors impact your home's security, energy efficiency, and style. Our Potomac carpentry services include installing new interior and exterior doors, replacing worn or damaged units, repairing sticking or misaligned doors, and upgrading hardware for improved function and appearance.
For interior doors, we handle everything from standard pre-hung units to custom solid-core doors for sound control, barn doors for space-saving style, or French doors to open up room connections. Exterior doors require extra care: proper weatherstripping, threshold alignment, and secure lockset installation for energy efficiency and safety.
Deck Building & Repair
Outdoor living spaces extend your home's usable square footage and create places for family gatherings, entertaining, and relaxation. Our residential carpentry services & repair in Potomac include designing and building new decks, repairing or replacing damaged boards and railings, and restoring structural integrity to existing decks.
We work with pressure-treated lumber, cedar, composite materials, and PVC decking—guiding you through pros, cons, and maintenance requirements of each. New deck projects start with site assessment, design consultation, and material selection, then move through framing, decking installation, railing construction, and stair building with attention to code compliance, safety, and aesthetics.
Window Trim & Sill Replacement
Windows frame your views and bring natural light into your home—but damaged trim or sills detract from their beauty and can invite moisture problems. Our carpenters in Potomac replace rotted window sills, install new interior and exterior trim, and repair casings damaged by settling or water intrusion.
Exterior window trim takes constant weather exposure, so rot is common—especially on sills and bottom casings. We remove damaged wood, treat surrounding areas if needed, install new trim with proper flashing and caulking to prevent future moisture entry, then prime and paint for a seamless match.
Structural Repairs & Carpentry Fixes
Not all carpentry is about aesthetics—sometimes it's about solving problems and restoring integrity. Our Potomac carpentry services include diagnosing and repairing structural issues: rotted framing, damaged joists, sagging floors, water-damaged studs, and failing support beams.
We assess the extent of damage, identify root causes (often moisture-related), and execute repairs that address both the symptom and the source. This might mean sistering new joists alongside damaged ones, replacing sections of rim board or sill plates, reinforcing floor framing before tile installation, or rebuilding rotted wall sections before siding or painting.
