| 🪵 Wood Rot & Dry Rot Repair |
From $650 |
Most wood rot we find in Grand Rapids starts with lake-effect snow sitting against the house. Ice dams and slow spring melt soak fascia, sills, porch floors and the bottom courses of siding, and every freeze-thaw cycle opens the soft spots further. We remove rotted wood back to solid stock, treat the surrounding boards and rebuild with rot-resistant lumber. |
| 🐜 Termite Damage Repair |
From $1,200 |
In West Michigan homes the wood-boring pest we meet most is the carpenter ant, drawn to framing kept damp by leaks. Eastern subterranean termites appear less often, mostly in older houses near the river. We open the affected wall, swap out hollowed studs, sills and subfloor for new lumber and correct the moisture source behind the damage. |
| 🔩 Floor Joist & Subfloor Repair |
From $1,800 |
A floor that dips, bounces or feels soft in an older Grand Rapids house usually has a basement story behind it. Past leaks, ant damage and joists sized long before modern kitchens weaken the structure. We reinforce or replace the failing joists, rebuild weak subfloor and level the surface so new flooring sits flat. |
| 🏗️ Beam Replacement & Load-Bearing Wall Removal |
From $3,500 |
Opening up an Eastown kitchen or fixing a tired beam in a Kentwood ranch is real structural carpentry. We set engineered beams, upgrade undersized headers and take out bearing walls following the engineer's drawings and the permit path of the city or township where you live. |
| 📐 Framing & Structural Carpentry |
From $2,500 |
Our remodel framing covers Byron Center basements, Creston attic rooms and Walker garage build-outs. Years of snow load and roof leaks also leave rafters and wall members to rebuild. We frame new partitions, repair water damaged lumber and keep every wall and opening plumb and square. |
| 🪚 Finish & Trim Carpentry |
From $550 |
Grand Rapids built its name on furniture, and good trim work still shows the same care in every joint. We fit casing, wainscoting, paneling and custom millwork in Heritage Hill Victorians, Ottawa Hills Tudors and new Ada colonials, using lead-safe methods on any painted trim older than 1978. |
| 👑 Crown Molding & Baseboard Installation |
From $450 |
Crown molding, baseboards and window trim with coped inside corners that hold through humid Michigan summers. We reproduce the period profiles of Grand Rapids Prairie, Tudor and Italianate homes, or keep things clean and simple in newer neighborhoods. |
| 📚 Custom Built-Ins & Shelving |
From $1,900 |
Bookcases, window seats, media walls and Murphy beds built to fit the exact room in front of us. We restore the original oak built-ins found in Heritage Hill and East Hills houses, and add new storage to Kentwood split-levels, Wyoming ranches and sloped attic rooms. |
| 🚪 Interior Door Installation & Repair |
From $350 |
Older Grand Rapids houses settle, and humid summers swell wood doors until they rub, drift open or refuse to latch. We plane and rehang sticking doors, true up jambs and frames, fit new prehung units and install pocket or barn doors. |
| 🔐 Exterior & Entry Door Installation |
From $850 |
An entry door in West Michigan has to stand up to lake-effect snow, subzero wind and sticky summer air. We rebuild rotted frames and thresholds, or replace the whole unit with entry, back or French doors set tight and sealed. |
| 🗄️ Cabinet & Vanity Installation |
From $1,100 |
Cabinets and vanities installed level even when the floor of an older Grand Rapids home is not. We scribe each run to out-of-square plaster walls and align every door, drawer and pull before we leave. |
| 🪜 Stair & Railing Repair |
From $600 |
Creaking treads, loose balusters and tired stringers show up in staircases of every age around Grand Rapids. We repair 19th century Heritage Hill stairs and newer builds alike, restore period railings and add handrails that meet current code. |
| 🌉 Deck & Porch Repair |
From $900 |
Weeks of standing snow, melt soaking the posts and frost heave wear hard on Grand Rapids decks and porches. The classic front porches of older neighborhoods take the worst of it. We replace damaged boards, posts and railings, repair stairs and framing and always look at repair before suggesting a full rebuild. |
| 🏠 Fascia, Soffit & Exterior Trim Repair |
From $700 |
By the time you notice it, ice dam rot behind a Grand Rapids gutter has usually spread along the roof edge. We pull out soft fascia and soffit, replace them with weather-resistant material and restore airflow at the eaves. |
