“We needed new kitchen cabinets and a countertop installed, and Chicago Carpentry knocked it out of the park. The crew showed up on time, worked efficiently, and had everything finished in just two days. My kitchen looks completely transformed, they even made sure all the doors lined up perfectly.”
Cabinet & Vanity Installation
“Had them build custom shelving around our fireplace in the living room, and I'm honestly blown away. The craftsmanship is incredible, everything is level, the stain matches perfectly, and it looks like it was always meant to be there. Worth every penny.”
Custom Built-Ins & Shelving
“Our back deck was rotting pretty bad and unsafe. Chicago Carpentry came out, assessed the damage, and replaced the damaged boards and support structure. Now it's solid again and we can actually use it without worrying. Great work.”
Deck & Porch Repair
“Replaced our front entry door and the whole entryway trim. The new door looks sharp against our brick, and they sealed everything up tight so no drafts. The installation was clean and they cleaned up all the debris same day.”
Exterior & Entry Door Installation
“Had them install crown molding throughout our condo and new baseboards in the bedrooms. The attention to detail is what really got me, every corner is crisp, the finish is flawless, and it completely elevated the look of the space.”
Crown Molding & Baseboard Installation
“Our main staircase was creaking and the railings were loose, a safety issue with kids in the house. They reinforced the whole structure, tightened everything, and even refinished the handrail. Stairs are quiet now and feel solid. Really relieved.”
Stair & Railing Repair
“Installed three new interior doors in our basement apartment and repaired an old one that was sticking. Everything opens and closes smoothly now, and the trim work is clean. They were in and out in one afternoon.”
Interior Door Installation & Repair
“The fascia and soffit on the front of our house were damaged and pulling away. Chicago Carpentry replaced it all with new material that matches the house perfectly. The crew was professional, the cleanup was thorough, and it looks brand new.”

| Service | Starting from | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Wood Rot & Dry Rot Repair | From $650 | Chicago's humid summers and severe freeze-thaw winters make wood rot a fact of life here. The city's brick bungalows and greystones carry most of their wood in porches; window frames; trim and decks. 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 | Chicago's humid summers bring real termite pressure to the region's older homes. After the exterminator leaves; the damaged wood stays, we replace termite-eaten studs; sills; trim and subfloor sections across Chicago homes; working from your pest inspection report and restoring full structural integrity. |
| Floor Joist & Subfloor Repair | From $1,800 | Sagging; bouncy or soft floors in Chicago's older bungalows and two-flats usually trace to damaged joists or subfloor. They can also trace to foundations shifting with the region's severe freeze-thaw cycle. 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 City of Chicago building permit requirements. |
| Framing & Structural Carpentry | From $2,500 | Remodel framing done right: new interior walls; garage and basement build-outs; and wall openings. We also repair storm- and water-damaged framing. Straight; plumb and code-compliant, 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 Chicago homes; old and new. |
| Crown Molding & Baseboard Installation | From $450 | Crown molding; baseboards; chair rail and window trim installed with coped joints and clean caulk lines. It is the finish Chicago's Gold Coast and Old Town 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 for Chicago homes. Each one is custom-fitted to bay windows; sloped ceilings and every awkward alcove of a bungalow or greystone. |
| Interior Door Installation & Repair | From $350 | Doors that stick; swing open on their own; or never latched right are common in Chicago's century-old homes. Foundations shift with the region's severe freeze-thaw cycle. 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 Chicago's lake-effect winters. Every unit is properly flashed; insulated and secured against wind-driven rain. 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 laundry storage. We level on Chicago's often out-of-level older floors; scribe to out-of-square walls; and align hardware and adjust doors. |
| Stair & Railing Repair | From $600 | Squeaky treads; loose banisters; worn stringers: we repair and rebuild the staircases Chicago homes climb every day. We also restore period railings and install code-compliant handrails and attic ladders. |
| Deck & Porch Repair | From $900 | Lake-effect snow load and severe freeze-thaw cycles are hard on Chicago decks and porches. We replace rotted boards; posts and railings; repair stairs and structural framing; and get outdoor spaces safe and solid before winter, repair-first; honest about when replacement wins. |
| Fascia, Soffit & Exterior Trim Repair | From $700 | Peeling paint and soft fascia boards are often the first sign of ice-dam moisture behind the roofline. It shows up after a heavy Chicago winter. We replace fascia; soffits and exterior trim with primed; rot-resistant material, closing the gaps that let winter moisture and pests into the roofline. |
