| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood Rot & Dry Rot Repair | From $650 | Eugene's long rainy season, mossy shade and damp crawlspaces make wood rot the most common failure on the city's Craftsman bungalows, cedar-sided ranches and T1-11 split-levels. We cut out decayed sills, siding and trim, treat surrounding wood, and rebuild with rot-resistant lumber, a permanent repair, not a cosmetic patch. |
| Termite Damage Repair | From $1,200 | Carpenter ants and Pacific dampwood termites both move into the wet wood of Eugene's older homes, and subterranean termites turn up in old sills. Once the pest treatment is done, the damaged wood stays: we replace eaten studs, sills, trim and subfloor sections, working from your pest inspection report and restoring full structural integrity. |
| Floor Joist & Subfloor Repair | From $1,800 | Sagging, bouncy or soft floors in Eugene homes usually trace to joist ends rotted by crawlspace humidity, posts settling into wet clay, old plumbing notches, or insect damage at the bearing ends. We sister or replace compromised joists and rebuild subfloor sections, leveling floors before finishes go back down. |
| Beam Replacement & Load-Bearing Wall Removal | From $3,500 | Open-concept conversions and tired beams 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 coordinated with the permit your project needs. |
| Framing & Structural Carpentry | From $2,500 | Remodel framing done right: new interior walls, attic and garage build-outs, wall openings, and repairs to storm- or rot-damaged framing. Straight, plumb and built to code, the bones your finish work deserves. |
| 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 Eugene homes, from Westside bungalows to South Hills modern. |
| Crown Molding & Baseboard Installation | From $450 | Crown molding, baseboards, chair rail and window trim installed with the coped joints and clean caulk lines that Eugene's period bungalows and Fairmount Revival homes demand, matched to existing fir profiles or kept crisp and modern. |
| Custom Built-Ins & Shelving | From $1,900 | Built-in bookshelves, window seats, media walls, closet systems and Murphy beds designed for Eugene's bungalows and post-and-beam homes, custom-fitted to bay windows, sloped ceilings and every awkward alcove. |
| Interior Door Installation & Repair | From $350 | Doors that stick, swing open on their own, or never latched right are common in Eugene homes, where the swing from wet winters to dry summers swells and shrinks the wood and settling piers rack the frames. 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 months of Willamette Valley rain, properly flashed, insulated and secured. We repair rotted door frames and thresholds or replace the full unit. |
| Cabinet & Vanity Installation | From $1,100 | Precise installation of kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities and laundry storage, leveled on Eugene's often out-of-level older floors, scribed to out-of-square walls, with hardware aligned and doors adjusted. |
| Stair & Railing Repair | From $600 | Squeaky treads, loose banisters, worn stringers: we repair and rebuild the staircases Eugene's split-levels and hillside homes climb every day, restore period railings, and install sturdy handrails and attic ladders. |
| Deck & Porch Repair | From $900 | Months of rain, moss and shade from tall Douglas firs are hard on Eugene decks and porches. We replace rotted boards, posts and railings, repair stairs and structural framing, and get outdoor spaces safe and solid, repair-first, honest about when replacement wins. |
| Fascia, Soffit & Exterior Trim Repair | From $700 | Peeling paint and soft fascia boards are the first sign that overflowing gutters, moss or rot are moving in. We replace fascia, soffits and exterior trim with primed, rot-resistant material, closing the gaps that let moisture and pests into the roofline. |
What Affects the Price
- Extent of Damage or Project Scope : Larger areas of rot, structural damage, or more complex carpentry work require additional labor, materials, and time. A small localized repair costs less than extensive damage affecting multiple areas.
- Material Quality and Type : The grade of lumber, type of wood, and finish materials selected impact the final cost. Premium or specialty materials cost more than standard options.
- Accessibility and Site Conditions : Projects in tight spaces, at height, or requiring special equipment or scaffolding take longer and may cost more. Easy-to-access areas are typically more affordable.
- Structural Complexity : Load-bearing repairs, beam replacements, and structural work require engineering considerations and specialized expertise, affecting overall project cost.
