Marietta's in-town historic homes and the subdivisions spreading south toward Atlanta sit on red Georgia clay, under a thick canopy of pines and hardwoods, and in a climate that keeps termites active year-round. We've been repairing the wood damage that comes with that territory since 2016.
When a floor goes soft, when wood rot shows up in a deck frame or fascia, or when a pest inspection finds termite damage in the framing, homeowners in Marietta and the surrounding Atlanta area call Atlanta Carpentry. We're local, we show up on time, and we explain what we find before we price the work.
Carpentry in Marietta (30060)
Marietta's character comes from its mix of ages and types. Victorian and Craftsman homes cluster in the historic in-town neighborhoods, where mature trees and older sill plates meet that humid subtropical climate and heavy termite pressure. Newer brick-veneer subdivisions ring the outer areas, often built on sloped lots where drainage and grade changes complicate access and framing work. The red clay soil here doesn't drain fast, and the summer humidity means wood stays damp longer than it should. That's the environment where wood rot and termite damage become steady problems, not occasional ones.
Our team has spent years working on Marietta properties. We know the lot shapes, the access constraints in older neighborhoods, and the permit requirements that Marietta's building department enforces. We repair floor joists, replace sill plates and rim joists, sister beams, and replace fascia and soffit. We also do finish carpentry: trim, casing, crown molding, baseboard, built-ins, and door installation. We work with homeowners, property managers, and insurance adjusters. We've been doing this since 2016.

How a Job Works in Marietta
We start with a free on-site assessment. You describe what you've noticed, we look at the wood, take photographs, and explain what we see. If you have a pest inspection report or insurance estimate, bring it along. We'll price the work honestly and tell you what can be repaired and what needs to be replaced.
Once you approve, our crew shows up with the materials and tools needed. For structural work like floor joist or beam replacement, we'll coordinate with Marietta's building department on permits if they're required (your local building department sets those rules, and we'll help you understand what applies). We work methodically, protect your floors and furnishings, and keep the job site clean as we go. In tight lots or older neighborhoods where access is narrow, we plan ahead so we don't damage landscaping or your neighbors' property.
When the work is done, we do a final walkthrough with you, answer any questions, and leave your property clean. If the job involved structural changes, we'll help you document everything for your records or for an insurance claim.
Pricing depends on the scope, the condition of the wood, and how easy it is to reach. Wood rot repair in fascia or siding might run 650 to 1,200 dollars. Termite damage repair, once you have a pest inspection, typically starts around 1,200 dollars for smaller areas and can reach several thousand for structural framing. Floor joist and subfloor repair commonly run 1,800 dollars and up, depending on how many joists are affected and whether the subfloor needs replacement. Finish carpentry, trim, and door installation are generally less expensive: interior doors from 350 dollars, crown molding and baseboard from 450 dollars.
