| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood Rot & Dry Rot Repair | From $650 | Wood rot around Fayetteville comes from humidity: long muggy summers and heavy storms that soak sills and porches. Damp crawl spaces keep the framing wet from below for months. We cut out the rotted wood, treat what remains and rebuild with rot-resistant lumber, a lasting repair rather than a cosmetic patch. |
| Termite Damage Repair | From $1,200 | Cumberland County homes face eastern subterranean termites working through sills and joists all year long. Carpenter bees add their own damage by boring into exposed trim and deck rails. We replace termite-damaged studs, sills, joists and subfloor, then close up the soil contact and moisture that drew them inside. |
| Floor Joist & Subfloor Repair | From $1,800 | A sagging or soft floor in an older Fayetteville house usually means trouble in the crawl space below. Termite-eaten or rotted joists over damp sandy soil are the usual culprits. We sister or replace the weak joists and rebuild subfloor sections, leveling the floor before finishes go back down. |
| Beam Replacement & Load-Bearing Wall Removal | From $3,500 | Opening up a Haymount Colonial or fixing a sagging beam in a Bonnie Doone ranch takes real structural carpentry. We install engineered beams, replace undersized headers and remove load-bearing walls, built to the engineer's drawings and the permit that applies at your address. |
| Framing & Structural Carpentry | From $2,500 | Remodel framing around Fayetteville covers bonus rooms, garage conversions and walls hit by hurricane season. A storm-thrown pine through the roof often leaves framing to rebuild as well. We frame new walls, repair storm- or termite-damaged framing and keep every wall plumb, square and ready for the next trade. |
| Finish & Trim Carpentry | From $550 | Tight miters, scribed fits and even reveals are what set a finish carpenter apart from a handyman. We install casing, paneling, wainscoting and custom trim in Haymount Colonials and Tudors as well as newer Gates Four and Anderson Creek homes. |
| Crown Molding & Baseboard Installation | From $450 | Crown molding, baseboard, chair rail and window trim installed with clean, properly coped joints. We match the period profiles of Fayetteville's Colonial Revival, Craftsman and Tudor homes, or keep the lines simple and crisp in newer Hope Mills and Raeford subdivisions. |
| Custom Built-Ins & Shelving | From $1,900 | Bookshelves, window seats, media walls and Murphy beds built to fit the way your family lives. We restore the original built-ins of older Haymount houses or add storage to brick ranches, scribed to bay windows, sloped ceilings and awkward alcoves. |
| Interior Door Installation & Repair | From $350 | Humid Sandhills summers swell old wood doors while older houses keep settling on their piers. The result is doors that stick, drift open or never latch. We plane, rehang or replace the doors themselves, rebuild tired jambs and fit pocket or barn doors where a swing door gets in the way. |
| Exterior & Entry Door Installation | From $850 | Entry, back and French doors set weather-tight against hurricane-season rain and summer thunderstorms. Where the door is still sound we repair rotted frames and thresholds, otherwise we replace the full unit with a proper sill pan and head flashing. |
| Cabinet & Vanity Installation | From $1,100 | Cabinets and vanities set level on the settled floors of older Fayetteville homes and new builds alike. We scribe them to out-of-square walls, shim them true and line up doors and hardware so every reveal matches, in Massey Hill kitchens and Spring Lake baths. |
| Stair & Railing Repair | From $600 | Squeaky treads, loose banisters and worn stringers are repaired on staircases of every age. That covers the older stairways of Haymount and Vanstory Hills as much as two-story homes in Kings Grant. We restore period railings and set handrails that feel solid in the hand. |
| Deck & Porch Repair | From $900 | Sandhills humidity and heavy rain keep deck boards and porch posts wet through the long summer. Carpenter bees drill the rails and storms drop pine limbs on them. We replace damaged boards, posts and railings, repair stairs and framing and tell you honestly when replacement makes more sense. |
| Fascia, Soffit & Exterior Trim Repair | From $700 | Overflowing gutters and carpenter bees mean fascia and soffits often fail before anyone notices. Rot starts behind the gutter and under the roof edge, out of sight. We replace fascia and soffits with weather-resistant material, seal the bee holes and trim the edges so water runs off the house instead of into it. |
What Affects the Price
- Extent of Damage or Project Scope : Small repairs like interior door installation start around $350, while major structural work like beam replacement can begin at $3,500. The more material and labor required, the higher the cost.
- Materials and Wood Quality : Premium wood species, custom finishes, and specialty materials cost more than standard options. We'll discuss material choices during your estimate to match your budget and vision.
- Access and Site Conditions : Projects in tight spaces, crawl spaces, or high areas may require specialized equipment or additional labor time, which affects the final price.
- Structural Complexity : Load-bearing repairs, custom framing, and structural modifications require more expertise and planning than straightforward finish work, impacting overall cost.
