“Fort Wayne Carpentry completely rebuilt the framing on our 1970s ranch after we discovered major structural issues. The crew of three worked steadily for about two weeks, and they explained everything as they went, made us feel confident the house was actually going to be safe again. Really impressed with their attention to detail.”
Framing & Structural Carpentry
“Had them install a floor-to-ceiling white built-in bookcase in our living room and it looks like it was always part of the house. The finish is flawless and they got all the measurements perfect on the first try. Best money we've spent on home improvement.”
Custom Built-Ins & Shelving
“Our old farmhouse needed serious structural work, rotted beam and compromised support posts in the basement. These guys came in, replaced everything with proper beams, and the house feels solid again. They were professional, on time, and cleaned up every day. Can't thank them enough.”
Beam Replacement & Load-Bearing Wall Removal
“Replaced our front entry door and side lights with a beautiful new setup. The installation was clean and the door seals perfectly, no drafts at all. Only minor hiccup was they arrived an hour late one day, but they made up for it with great work. Happy overall.”
Exterior Door Installation
“Found wood rot in our basement rim joists and was dreading the cost. Fort Wayne Carpentry came out, assessed the damage, and replaced the affected sections without tearing apart the whole foundation. The work was done in three days and they left the area cleaner than when they started.”
Wood Rot & Dry Rot Repair
“Had them install new interior doors throughout our home renovation and refinish two older doors that we wanted to keep. The fit and finish are perfect, doors close smoothly and look great. Solid crew, solid work.”

| Service | Starting from | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Wood Rot & Dry Rot Repair | From $650 | Fort Wayne's freeze-thaw winters, ice dams and humid summers make wood rot a real threat to the city's Victorian houses and 1920s bungalows. We cut out decayed framing, siding and trim, treat surrounding wood, and rebuild with rot-resistant lumber, a permanent repair, not a cosmetic patch. |
| Termite Damage Repair | From $1,200 | Eastern subterranean termites and carpenter ants both work into the damp sills and basement framing of older Fort Wayne homes. After the exterminator leaves, the damaged wood stays, we replace insect-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 Fort Wayne's older homes usually trace to joists weakened by damp basements and crawlspaces, old river-flood moisture or insect damage in the framing. 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 and the permit requirements that apply at your address. |
| 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 insect-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 Fort Wayne homes, old and new. |
| Crown Molding & Baseboard Installation | From $450 | Crown molding, baseboards, chair rail and window trim installed with the coped joints and clean caulk lines Fort Wayne's West Central and Forest Park 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 Fort Wayne's bungalows, foursquares and Tudor revivals, 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, often a sign of seasonal humidity swings or a settling, damp sill under the jamb in Fort Wayne homes. 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 northern Indiana wind, driving rain, snow and deep winter cold, properly flashed, insulated and secured. We repair rotted or insect-damaged door frames and thresholds or replace the full unit. |
| Cabinet & Vanity Installation | From $1,100 | Precise installation of kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities and laundry storage, leveled on Fort Wayne's often out-of-level older floors, 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 steep staircases Fort Wayne's foursquares and Victorian houses climb every day, restore period railings, and install sturdy handrails, basement stairs and attic ladders. |
| Deck & Porch Repair | From $900 | Snow load, freeze-thaw and humid summers are hard on Fort Wayne decks and the deep front porches of its older neighborhoods. 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 | Peeling paint and soft fascia boards are the first sign that ice dams and gutter overflow are rotting the roofline. We replace fascia, soffits and exterior trim with primed, rot-resistant material, closing the gaps that let moisture and pests into the eaves. |
