CARPENTRY INSTALLATION
Homeowners and business owners in Fairfield County, CT often call us because they need a new finish carpentry installation. There are two broad categories of carpentry work: rough and finish. Rough carpentry is the work of constructing wooden components of a house that will be hidden away behind drywall and flooring once construction is complete, including the house framing, ceiling beams, floor joists and much more. This work is obviously very important because it's a big part of what's holding the entire structure up, but it doesn't have to look perfect because it won't be seen.
Finish carpentry, on the other hand, involves creating the components of a building that trim, or "finish" a house, as well as built-in installations such as cabinetry and entertainment centers. Unlike rough work, finish woodwork is visible to everyone who enters the room and can have a major visual impact, so it needs to look great. Our expert Fairfield handyman team has completed countless finish carpentry service installation projects such as:
- Custom cabinet installation
- Deck and patio building or resurfacing
- Crown molding installation
- Baseboard installation
- Chair rail and wainscoting installation
- Mantel installation
- Installing built-in shelving and bookcases
- Fence installation
- Hardwood flooring installation
- Ramp installation
- Railing installation
This list is certainly not exhaustive, so if you have something else in mind, give us a call and let us know what you're thinking. Whatever you need installed at your home or commercial property, you can rely on our skilled carpenters for expert Fairfield carpentry service.
CARPENTRY REPAIR
Installation isn't the only Fairfield carpentry service our experienced handyman team can provide. Everyone has some wood inside their home or on the exterior or both, and while wood is a strong, durable, long-lasting material, it does sometimes suffer damage or slowly deteriorate over time and need carpentry repair services.
The problem that calls for repair from your Fairfield carpentry service professional may be the result of impact or gouging damage caused by an incautious furniture mover or a naughty pet who loves chewing or scratching wooden trim, or it could a surface issue such as peeling paint or flaking wood stain that needs to be restored to its former condition with services such as deck staining.
But the most common—and the most notorious—carpentry repair problem is wood rot. That's particularly true for any wooden components on the exterior of your house, because wood rot only occurs in timber that has absorbed water and has an elevated moisture content as a result. Since wood on your exterior is frequently soaked with rain, snowmelt and humidity, it's especially vulnerable to wood rot. That's why timber that is sheltered indoors can last for quite literally hundreds of years without rotting, but timber outside needs to be diligently protected or it will rot within a few years.
There's no real way to return rotted wood to its former condition because the rot eats away at the fibers of the material and weakens it from the inside out. That's why, when it comes to Fairfield carpentry service to repair wood rot, the best solution is typically for your handyman to remove the affected timber and replace it with new, solid wood. However, there are some situations where it's better to salvage what's there. If the damage is minor or there's a reason why the wood can't be replaced, we can scrape away the rotted parts and fill the gaps with epoxy. Once it's dry, we'll sand it smooth and paint over it to conceal the carpentry repair.
