| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood Rot & Dry Rot Repair | From $650 | Muggy Middle Tennessee summers and heavy soaking rains keep the wood of East Main Street Victorians and bungalows near MTSU damp far longer than it should be. We cut out decayed framing, siding and trim, treat the sound wood around it, and rebuild with rot-resistant lumber, a lasting repair, not a coat of paint over the problem. |
| Termite Damage Repair | From $1,200 | Eastern subterranean termites are active all over Rutherford County and swarm every spring, and older Murfreesboro homes over damp crawlspaces take the worst of it. Once the pest company is done, the damaged wood is still there, we replace termite-eaten studs, sills, trim and subfloor, working from your inspection report to restore full structural strength. |
| Floor Joist & Subfloor Repair | From $1,800 | Soft, bouncy or sloping floors in Murfreesboro homes usually lead back to a crawlspace that stays wet over rocky clay and limestone, or to termites climbing through the sills into the joists. We sister or replace weakened joists and rebuild subfloor sections, bringing floors back to level before new flooring goes down. |
| Beam Replacement & Load-Bearing Wall Removal | From $3,500 | Opening up a kitchen or fixing a sagging beam takes genuine structural carpentry. We install engineered beams, replace failing headers and take out load-bearing walls, built to the engineer's specs and to the permit requirements that apply at your address. |
| Framing & Structural Carpentry | From $2,500 | Remodel framing done properly: new interior walls, bonus-room and garage build-outs, wall openings, and repairs to framing hurt by storms or termites. Straight, plumb and square, a solid frame for the finish work that follows. |
| Finish & Trim Carpentry | From $550 | What sets a finish carpenter apart from a handyman: tight miters, careful scribing, even reveals. Casing, paneling, wainscoting and custom trim for Murfreesboro homes, from courthouse-square Victorians to brand-new Blackman builds. |
| Crown Molding & Baseboard Installation | From $450 | Crown, baseboards, chair rail and window casing installed with coped corners and clean caulk lines, the way East Main Street houses and Murfreesboro's Craftsman bungalows call for, matched to original profiles or kept simple and modern. |
| Custom Built-Ins & Shelving | From $1,900 | Built-in bookcases, window seats, media walls, closet systems and Murphy beds made for Murfreesboro bungalows, ranches and new bonus rooms, fitted to bay windows, sloped bonus-room ceilings and every odd corner. |
| Interior Door Installation & Repair | From $350 | Doors that rub, drift open or won't latch, often summer humidity swelling the jamb or a pier settling in a damp Murfreesboro crawlspace. 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 fitted weather-tight against Middle Tennessee humidity, hard spring storms and winter freeze-thaw, properly flashed, insulated and secured. We repair rotted or termite-damaged frames and thresholds or replace the whole unit. |
| Cabinet & Vanity Installation | From $1,100 | Careful installation of kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities and laundry storage, leveled on settled floors over Murfreesboro crawlspaces, scribed to walls that aren't square, with hardware lined up and doors adjusted. |
| Stair & Railing Repair | From $600 | Creaking treads, wobbly banisters, tired stringers: we repair and rebuild the staircases in Murfreesboro's two-story homes and old Victorians, restore period railings, and add sturdy handrails and attic ladders. |
| Deck & Porch Repair | From $900 | Humidity, termites and long wet stretches wear down Murfreesboro decks and front porches, especially low ones over damp ground. We replace rotted or termite-damaged boards, posts and railings, repair stairs and framing, and make outdoor spaces safe again, repair first, and straight with you when replacement makes more sense. |
| Fascia, Soffit & Exterior Trim Repair | From $700 | Peeling paint, spongy fascia and neat round carpenter-bee holes are early signs that rot or pests are getting in. We replace fascia, soffits and exterior trim with primed, rot-resistant material, sealing the roofline against moisture and insects. |
What Affects the Price
- Extent of Damage or Project Scope : Small repairs like door installation start lower, while structural work like beam replacement or load-bearing wall removal requires more time, materials, and expertise, increasing the total cost.
- Materials and Wood Quality : The type and grade of wood, finish treatments, and protective coatings affect pricing. Premium materials and rot-resistant wood cost more but provide better durability and appearance.
- Access and Site Conditions : Hard-to-reach areas, tight spaces, or homes with limited workspace may require extra time and care, which can impact the final price of your project.
- Structural Complexity : Projects involving load-bearing walls, multiple floor joists, or custom built-ins demand precise engineering and planning, reflecting higher labor and material costs.
