| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood Rot & Dry Rot Repair | From $650 | Jacksonville's humid subtropical climate makes wood rot a year-round threat for older wood-frame homes. Riverside and Avondale bungalows on ventilated brick pier foundations are especially exposed. We cut out decayed framing, siding and trim, treat the surrounding wood, and rebuild with rot-resistant lumber, a permanent repair, not a cosmetic patch. |
| Termite Damage Repair | From $1,200 | Subterranean and Formosan termites are common in Duval County's humidity. Once the exterminator leaves, the eaten wood still has to be rebuilt. We replace studs, sills, trim and subfloor sections from your pest inspection report, restoring full structural integrity to Avondale's early-1900s frames and newer builds alike. |
| Floor Joist & Subfloor Repair | From $1,800 | Sagging or bouncy floors are common in Jacksonville's older raised homes. Ventilated brick-pier crawl spaces trap ground moisture that weakens joists over time. We sister or replace compromised joists and rebuild subfloor sections from beneath the house, leveling floors before finishes go back down. |
| Beam Replacement & Load-Bearing Wall Removal | From $3,500 | Open-concept conversions in San Marco's mid-century ranch homes 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 Duval County permit requirements. |
| Framing & Structural Carpentry | From $2,500 | New construction in Nocatee and other slab-on-grade subdivisions needs framing built for Florida wind loads. We handle new interior walls, garage build-outs, wall openings and storm- or termite-damaged repairs, straight, plumb and hurricane-strapped from the first stud. |
| 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 Jacksonville homes, from Springfield's Queen Anne rowhouses to Mandarin's newer builds. |
| Crown Molding & Baseboard Installation | From $450 | Crown molding, baseboards, chair rail and window trim, installed with tight coped joints and clean caulk lines. Matched to Murray Hill's mid-century ranch profiles, or kept crisp and modern for newer builds across Duval County. |
| Custom Built-Ins & Shelving | From $1,900 | Built-in bookshelves, window seats, media walls, closet systems and Murphy beds designed for Jacksonville floor plans. Custom-fitted to bay windows, sloped ceilings and every awkward alcove, from Lakeshore's brick ranch homes to Fleming Island new construction. |
| Interior Door Installation & Repair | From $350 | Doors that stick or never latch right are common as Arlington homes settle over time. 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 wind-driven rain and salt air off the Atlantic. Properly flashed, insulated and secured for Jacksonville Beach's coastal exposure, we repair rotted door frames and thresholds or replace the full unit. |
| Cabinet & Vanity Installation | From $1,100 | Precise cabinet and vanity installation, leveled on Orange Park's slab-on-grade floors. Kitchen, bath and laundry storage scribed to out-of-square walls, with hardware aligned and doors adjusted before we leave. |
| Stair & Railing Repair | From $600 | Squeaky treads, loose banisters, worn stringers: we repair and rebuild the staircases Mandarin homes climb every day. We restore period railings where the house calls for it, and install code-compliant handrails and attic ladders. |
| Deck & Porch Repair | From $900 | Salt air, storm rain and Florida humidity are tough on decks and porches near the coast. Boards rot faster than most owners expect. We replace rotted boards, posts and railings, repair stairs and structural framing on Neptune Beach's elevated coastal homes and inland decks alike. |
| Fascia, Soffit & Exterior Trim Repair | From $700 | Peeling paint and soft fascia boards are the first sign of rot moving in along a Fleming Island roofline. We replace fascia, soffits and exterior trim with primed, rot-resistant material, closing the gaps that let moisture and pests into the attic. |
What Affects the Price
- Extent of Damage or Project Scope : Small repairs like door installation may start at $350, while structural work like beam replacement can begin at $3,500. The more material and labor required, the higher the cost.
- Material Quality and Type : Premium wood species, custom finishes, and high-grade hardware increase project costs. We'll discuss material options during your estimate to match your budget and preferences.
- Accessibility and Location : Hard-to-reach areas, tight spaces, or work requiring special equipment may add to labor time. Jacksonville's humidity and climate can also affect material selection and repair methods.
- Structural Complexity : Load-bearing repairs, permit requirements, and structural assessments require expertise and planning. These factors influence the final cost but ensure your home is safe and code-compliant.
