South Florida Expertise
South Florida's humid climate, salt air, and intense sun require special considerations for carpentry work. We use moisture-resistant woods, marine-grade hardware, and specialized finishes that protect against warping, rot, and termite damage. Our outdoor carpentry includes hurricane-resistant installation methods and materials rated for coastal environments. Whether it's interior trim or an exterior deck, we select materials and techniques designed to withstand Florida's unique challenges and deliver lasting beauty.
What We Do
Our comprehensive carpentry services include:
-
Custom Shelving Installation
From simple wall-mounted shelves to elaborate built-in bookcase systems, we create custom shelving solutions that maximize your storage while complementing your home's style. We design around your specific needs, whether it's displaying a book collection, organizing a pantry, or creating a home office workspace. All shelving is precisely leveled, securely anchored, and built to support substantial weight.
-
Door Installation and Repair
We install interior and exterior doors including entry doors, French doors, sliding doors, and closet doors. Whether you're upgrading to a new style, replacing damaged doors, or fixing doors that stick or don't close properly, we ensure smooth operation and perfect alignment. We also handle door hardware installation, weatherstripping, and threshold repairs.
-
Trim and Molding Work
Add character and elegance with professional trim installation. We install baseboards, crown molding, chair rails, window casing, and door trim. We can match existing profiles in older homes or create entirely new looks with modern styles. Every corner is perfectly mitered, every joint seamless. We also repair damaged trim and restore historic moldings to their original beauty.
-
Deck Repairs and Restoration
South Florida decks face constant exposure to sun, rain, and humidity. We repair rotted boards, replace damaged railings, reinforce structural supports, and restore finish to protect against the elements. Whether your deck needs a few board replacements or complete restoration, we use weather-resistant materials and proper sealing techniques to ensure long-lasting results.
-
Cabinet Installation and Refacing
Transform your kitchen or bathroom with new cabinets or refresh existing ones with professional refacing. We install stock and semi-custom cabinets, ensuring level mounting, properly aligned doors, and smooth drawer operation. Cabinet refacing gives you the look of new cabinetry at a fraction of the cost by replacing doors, drawer fronts, and hardware while keeping existing boxes.

We repair damaged wood trim, windowsills, door frames, and other carpentry elements. From filling gouges and scratches to replacing rotted sections, we restore woodwork to like-new condition. We match existing wood species and stain colors to ensure seamless repairs that blend with the original work.

Maximize space and add value with custom built-in solutions. We design and build entertainment centers, window seats with storage, breakfast nooks, home office desks, mudroom benches, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our carpentry services:
What types of wood are best for South Florida's climate?
For South Florida's humid, coastal environment, we recommend moisture-resistant woods and treated materials. For outdoor projects like decks, pressure-treated lumber, composite decking, and naturally rot-resistant woods like ipe or mahogany are excellent choices. For interior work, we use properly sealed hardwoods and marine-grade plywood that can withstand humidity. We also recommend termite-resistant materials and always apply appropriate sealants and finishes to protect against moisture damage and coastal salt air.
How long does a typical carpentry project take?
Project timelines vary based on scope and complexity. Simple jobs like door installation or trim work typically take a few hours to a day. Custom shelving projects usually require 1-2 days. Cabinet installation can range from 2-5 days depending on the size of the kitchen or bathroom. Deck repairs might take 2-4 days, while building custom built-ins could take 3-7 days. During your consultation, we'll provide a detailed timeline specific to your project and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your home.
Do you offer custom carpentry or only standard solutions?
We specialize in custom carpentry tailored to your exact specifications and style preferences. Whether you need custom-built shelving that fits a unique space, built-in cabinetry designed around your belongings, or trim work that matches historical architectural details, we can create it. We also handle standard installations like pre-hung doors and stock cabinets. Our second-generation expertise means we have the skills to handle both simple installations and complex custom work with equal precision.
Can you match existing trim and molding in older homes?
Yes, matching existing trim is one of our specialties, especially important in South Florida's many historic homes. We can replicate original crown molding, baseboards, chair rails, and other architectural details. We'll either source matching profiles from specialty lumber yards or create custom pieces if needed. Our goal is to make new carpentry work blend seamlessly with your home's existing character. We also work with various wood species and stains to ensure a perfect match in both profile and finish.
How do you protect outdoor wood from South Florida weather?
South Florida's combination of intense sun, humidity, and salt air requires special attention to wood protection. We use pressure-treated lumber rated for ground contact, apply water-repellent sealers and UV-protective finishes, recommend marine-grade hardware that won't rust, and ensure proper drainage to prevent water accumulation. For decks, we recommend annual cleaning and resealing to maintain protection. We also advise on wood alternatives like composite materials that require less maintenance while withstanding Florida's harsh outdoor conditions.
Is it better to reface or replace cabinets?
It depends on the condition of your existing cabinets and your goals. Cabinet refacing involves replacing doors, drawer fronts, and hardware while keeping the existing cabinet boxes. This costs 30-50% less than full replacement and typically takes 3-5 days. Refacing works well when cabinet boxes are structurally sound but the style is outdated. Full replacement is better when boxes are damaged, you want to change the layout, or you're doing a major renovation. During our consultation, we'll assess your cabinets and discuss the pros and cons of each option for your specific situation and budget.
