| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood Rot & Dry Rot Repair | From $650 | Atlanta's hot, humid climate makes wood rot a fact of life for older homes. We cut out decayed framing, siding and trim, treat surrounding wood, and rebuild with rot-resistant lumber for a permanent repair, not a cosmetic patch. |
| Termite Damage Repair | From $1,200 | Atlanta sits in one of the heaviest termite-pressure markets in the country. After the exterminator leaves, the damaged wood stays behind, so we replace termite-eaten studs, sills, trim and subfloor sections, working from your pest inspection report to restore full structural integrity. |
| Floor Joist & Subfloor Repair | From $1,800 | Sagging or bouncy floors in Atlanta's older homes usually mean joist damage. Most often discovered during a remodel or pest inspection, 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 failing 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 City of Atlanta building permit requirements. |
| Framing & Structural Carpentry | From $2,500 | Real remodel framing means straight walls and solid structure, built right. New interior walls, garage and basement build-outs, wall openings, and repairs to termite- or storm-damaged framing, straight, plumb and code-compliant, the bones your finish work deserves. |
| Finish & Trim Carpentry | From $550 | Real finish carpentry means tight miters, scribed fits and consistent reveals. Casing, paneling, wainscoting and custom trim work throughout Atlanta homes, old and new. |
| Crown Molding & Baseboard Installation | From $450 | Crown molding and trim installed with tight, clean lines throughout. Baseboards, chair rail and window trim matched to Inman Park and Druid Hills period profiles, or kept crisp and modern for newer builds. |
| Custom Built-Ins & Shelving | From $1,900 | Built-in bookshelves, window seats and closet systems, custom-fitted to fit. Media walls and Murphy beds designed for Atlanta's craftsman bungalows and Victorian homes, fitted to bay windows, sloped ceilings and every awkward alcove. |
| Interior Door Installation & Repair | From $350 | Doors that stick or swing open on their own often signal termite damage. We hang, adjust and replace interior doors, repair jambs and frames, and install pocket and barn doors in Atlanta homes. |
| Exterior & Entry Door Installation | From $850 | Entry, back and French doors installed weather-tight for Georgia storms. Properly flashed, insulated and secured, we also repair rotted or termite-damaged door frames and thresholds, or replace the full unit. |
| Cabinet & Vanity Installation | From $1,100 | Precise cabinet and vanity installation, leveled for older Atlanta floors. Kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities and laundry storage scribed to out-of-square walls, with hardware aligned and doors adjusted. |
| Stair & Railing Repair | From $600 | Squeaky treads and loose banisters wear down Atlanta's older staircases. We repair and rebuild them, restore period railings, and install code-compliant handrails and attic ladders. |
| Deck & Porch Repair | From $900 | Humidity, heat and termites are hard on Atlanta decks and porches. We replace rotted or termite-damaged 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 signal rot or termite entry. 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 : Small repairs like interior door installation start lower, while structural work like beam replacement or load-bearing wall removal requires more labor, materials, and expertise, increasing the overall cost.
- Material Selection and Quality : The type of wood, hardware, and finishing materials you choose directly impact pricing. Premium woods and high-end fixtures cost more than standard options, but offer better durability and aesthetics.
- Accessibility and Site Conditions : Projects in tight spaces, older homes with hidden damage, or exterior work requiring scaffolding take longer and may cost more due to additional labor and safety considerations.
- Structural Complexity and Permits : Load-bearing repairs, beam replacements, and major structural work often require building permits and inspections, which add time and cost but ensure your home meets safety codes.

Pricing FAQ
Why do carpentry prices vary so much between projects?
Carpentry costs depend on several factors: the extent of damage, type and quality of materials, labor hours required, structural complexity, and whether permits are needed. A small trim repair is very different from a load-bearing wall removal, which explains the wide price range.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. Atlanta Carpentry provides free, no-obligation estimates for all residential carpentry projects. We inspect your home, identify the work needed, and provide a detailed written quote. Call (678) 284-2440 to schedule your estimate.
What is included in your starting prices?
Starting prices reflect the base cost for that service in typical conditions. Your final cost depends on the specific scope of work, materials chosen, and any complications discovered during the project. We always discuss pricing details before work begins.
Do you accept different payment methods?
Yes. Atlanta Carpentry accepts cash, check, credit card, and bank transfer. We can discuss payment schedules for larger projects. Ask about payment options when you call (678) 284-2440.
How long does a carpentry project typically take?
Timeline varies by project. Small finish work like door installation may take one day, while structural repairs or custom built-ins take several days to weeks. We provide a timeline estimate during your free consultation.
