“We had soft spots in our kitchen floor that were getting worse every month. Paterson Carpentry came out, diagnosed the problem right away, and replaced the damaged joists underneath. The crew was in and out in two days, and our floor is solid again. No more creaking or bouncing when we walk across it.”
Floor Joist & Subfloor Repair
“Had three interior doors that wouldn't close properly and one that was warped pretty badly. They replaced all of them with new solid core doors and got the frames perfectly plumb. The attention to detail on the trim work was impressive, you'd never know they weren't original to the house.”
Interior Door Installation & Repair
“Our front door was rotting at the bottom and wouldn't seal anymore. Paterson Carpentry installed a brand new entry door with proper flashing and weatherproofing. The installation was clean, they hauled away all the old materials, and the door looks fantastic. Only minor thing, took them an extra day to get the threshold perfectly level, but honestly it's perfect now.”
Exterior & Entry Door Installation
“Hired them to install custom trim throughout our master bedroom and bathroom. The crown molding is crisp, the baseboards are perfectly mitered at every corner, and they stained everything to match our existing woodwork. Honestly didn't think they could blend it in that well, but it looks seamless.”
Finish & Trim Carpentry
“We wanted to open up our basement to create one big space, which meant removing a load-bearing wall. These guys knew exactly what they were doing, they installed a proper beam, got all the temporary supports in place, and made sure everything was code-compliant. The structural engineer signed off immediately. Felt safe the whole time.”
Beam Replacement & Load-Bearing Wall Removal
“Our fascia and soffit were rotting out on the back of the house from water damage. Paterson Carpentry replaced the damaged sections with new cedar trim and sealed everything properly. The work blends in perfectly with the existing trim, and they cleaned up all the debris before leaving. Solid job.”

| Service | Starting from | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Wood Rot & Dry Rot Repair | From $650 | Freeze-thaw winters, ice dams, nor'easter rain and damp basements make wood rot the most common failure on Paterson's two-family frame houses and Eastside Park Victorians. We cut out decayed sills, siding and trim, treat the sound wood around them, and rebuild with rot-resistant lumber, a permanent repair, not a cosmetic patch. |
| Termite Damage Repair | From $1,200 | Eastern subterranean termites and carpenter ants both go after the damp sills, porch posts and basement framing of Paterson's older homes. Once the pest treatment is done, the damage 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 Paterson homes usually trace to joists notched long ago for plumbing, sills rotted over damp or once-flooded basements, 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-plan conversions and tired beams call for real structural carpentry. We install engineered beams, replace sagging headers and remove load-bearing walls in Paterson homes, 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 basement build-outs, wall openings, and repairs to storm-, flood- or rot-damaged framing. Straight, plumb and built to code, the bones your finish work needs. |
| Finish & Trim Carpentry | From $550 | The details that set a real finish carpenter apart from a handyman: tight miters, scribed fits, even reveals. Casing, paneling, wainscoting and custom trim throughout Paterson homes, from Eastside Park Victorians to post-war capes. |
| Crown Molding & Baseboard Installation | From $450 | Crown molding, baseboards, chair rail and window trim installed with the coped joints and clean caulk lines that Paterson's Victorian and Tudor homes call for, matched to existing period 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 Paterson's Victorians and two-family flats, custom-fitted to bay windows, sloped attic ceilings and every awkward alcove. |
| Interior Door Installation & Repair | From $350 | Doors that stick in August, swing open on their own, or never latched right are common in Paterson homes, where humid summers swell the wood and settling sills rack old 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 North Jersey cold, nor'easter rain and humid summers, 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 Paterson's often out-of-level older floors, scribed to out-of-square plaster walls, with hardware aligned and doors adjusted. |
| Stair & Railing Repair | From $600 | Squeaky treads, loose banisters, worn stringers: we repair and rebuild the staircases Paterson's two- and three-family houses climb every day, restore period railings, and install sturdy handrails and attic ladders. |
| Deck & Porch Repair | From $900 | Freeze-thaw, snow load and wind-driven rain are hard on Paterson's stacked two-family porches and back decks. 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 of ice-dam water or rot moving into the roofline. We replace fascia, soffits and exterior trim with primed, rot-resistant material, closing the gaps that let moisture and pests in. |
