Carpentry Services in Pittsburgh
Framing, trim, drywall and siding work across Pittsburgh and Brookline. Structural changes, additions and repairs handled start to finish, matched to the rest of your home.
Framing & Room Additions in Pittsburgh
Full framing for basement rooms, additions and relocated doorways, built square and ready for the next trade.
What's included
- Wall and partition framing
- Basement room and closet framing
- Doorway relocation and reinforcement
- Structural support and header work
- Ready-for-drywall framing
- Full additions built from scratch
Framing is the part of the job that decides whether everything after it goes right. I lay out walls, set studs and headers, and reinforce openings so doors and partitions land exactly where you need them. That includes relocating a doorway into a load-bearing wall when a layout calls for it, with the framing properly secured before anything gets closed up.
This is the work I get called in for when a basement is still just an open, unfinished space or when a big box builder couldn't finish a room the way it was supposed to look. I frame in laundry rooms, home offices, closets and full additions, and I stay on the job through drywall and trim so the finished room matches the rest of the house.
Finish Carpentry & Trim in Pittsburgh
Trim, casing and finish work matched to your home's existing profile so repairs don't stand out.
What's included
- Baseboard and casing installation
- Trim repair and replacement
- Door and window trim matching
- Crown molding
- Trim around new framing or additions
- Finish work on remodels and repairs
Matching trim to an older home is a different job than installing it in new construction, the profiles, reveals and joints all have to line up with what's already there. I measure and match existing trim before cutting anything new, so a repaired section or a newly framed room reads as original to the house rather than added on.
This work usually follows framing or drywall, finishing off additions, relocated doorways and remodeled rooms with casing, baseboard and molding cut and fitted by hand.
Drywall Installation & Repair in Pittsburgh
Drywall hung, taped and finished for new rooms, remodels and repairs, with seams that disappear under paint.
What's included
- Drywall hanging for new construction
- Patch and repair of damaged drywall
- Taping and mudding
- Sanding to a smooth, paint-ready finish
- Drywall around relocated doorways
- Repairs matched to existing wall texture
Drywall is where framing turns into a finished room. I hang sheet, tape and mud the seams, and sand it down smooth so the wall is ready for paint with no visible joints. On repair work, that means matching the existing texture and finish so a patched section blends into the surrounding wall.
I handle drywall on everything from full basement rooms and additions to smaller repair jobs after a doorway's been moved or a wall's been opened up for other work.
Siding Repair in Pittsburgh
Cedar and wood siding replaced section by section to keep water out and the exterior looking right.
What's included
- Cedar siding replacement
- Wood siding repair
- Section and spot replacement
- Matching existing siding profile
- Trim and flashing around repairs
- Repairs to weather-damaged areas
Siding repair is mostly about matching what's already on the house, the board profile, the reveal, the way it meets trim and corners. I replace damaged or rotted sections of cedar and wood siding piece by piece rather than tearing off more than needs to come down.
This is often paired with other exterior or interior work, but stands on its own too, a quick call for a few damaged boards gets handled the same way as a bigger repair.
Custom Closets & Built-Ins in Pittsburgh
Closets and storage built and framed to fit an exact space, not bought off a shelf.
What's included
- Custom closet framing
- Built-in shelving and storage
- Utility closet construction
- Storage built into basement rooms
- Fitted to exact room dimensions
- Framed and finished to match the room
A built-in only works if it's sized to the actual space, so I frame these on-site rather than fitting a pre-made unit into a room it wasn't designed for. That's meant framing in a full utility closet alongside a basement laundry room, giving a family extra storage they hadn't planned on but now rely on.
These often come up as part of a bigger project, a basement remodel or room addition, where there's an opportunity to build in storage while the walls are already open.
Bathroom Remodeling Carpentry in Pittsburgh
Carpentry and tile prep for walk-in showers and bathroom remodels, finished with precision detail.
What's included
- Old tub and shower removal
- Walk-in shower framing
- Tile prep and substrate work
- Tiled shower installation support
- Trim and finish detail
- Full bathroom remodel carpentry
Converting a tub to a walk-in shower starts with tearing out the old unit and framing the new layout, then prepping the substrate so tile goes down clean and true. I handle that structural and prep work through to the finished tile detail.
This is precision work, patterned tile and shower framing don't forgive sloppy prep, so I take the time on layout and substrate before any tile gets set.
