“We had a major structural issue in our basement, rotted support beams and sagging joists that were scaring us half to death. Rockford Carpentry came out, assessed everything, and replaced the beams with proper load-bearing support. The crew was professional, worked efficiently over about two weeks, and honestly, we felt like we could breathe again once it was done. They cleaned up every day and explained everything clearly.”
Structural Carpentry & Framing
“Had them build custom shelving around our living room window, it looks like it was always meant to be there. The craftsmanship is incredible, the shelves are perfectly level and sturdy, and they even stained it to match our existing trim. Honestly exceeded my expectations.”
Custom Built-Ins & Shelving
“Our basement bathroom renovation needed new cabinets and vanities installed, and Rockford Carpentry handled it perfectly. Everything lines up, drawers work smoothly, and they got it done in less than a week. Really impressed with the attention to detail.”
Cabinet & Vanity Installation
“Our interior staircase had some loose treads and the railing was getting wobbly, safety hazard with kids in the house. These guys reinforced everything, replaced a couple damaged treads, and rebuilt the railing to code. Feels solid as a rock now and the work looks seamless.”
Stair & Railing Repair
“Termite damage had eaten through our subfloor and several joists, nightmare scenario. Rockford Carpentry removed the damaged sections and sistered new joists in place. The repair is invisible from above and the floor is completely stable again. Can't thank them enough.”
Floor Joist & Subfloor Repair
“Our fascia and soffit were rotting out on one side of the house and looked terrible. Rockford Carpentry replaced it all with quality materials and matched the existing trim perfectly. One-day job, minimal mess, and now the whole exterior looks fresh again.”

| Service | Starting from | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Wood Rot & Dry Rot Repair | From $650 | Rockford's snowmelt, ice dams and humid summers keep the porches, sills and siding of Haight Village Victorians and Churchill's Grove bungalows wet far longer than they should be. We cut out decayed framing, siding and trim, treat the surrounding wood, and rebuild with rot-resistant lumber, a permanent repair, not a cosmetic patch. |
| Termite Damage Repair | From $1,200 | Termites are less common in northern Illinois than downstate, but they do reach Rockford homes, and carpenter ants move into the same damp sills and rim joists. Once the pest pro is done, the damaged wood stays, we replace insect-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 Rockford's older homes usually trace to damp stone basements wicking moisture into the rim joists, notched joists from a century of plumbing, or decay around old porch openings. 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 the permit requirements that apply at your address. |
| Framing & Structural Carpentry | From $2,500 | Remodel framing done right: new interior walls, basement and garage build-outs, wall openings, and repairs to storm- or rot-damaged framing. Straight, plumb and square, 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 Rockford homes, from Haight Village Victorians to new northeast-side builds. |
| Crown Molding & Baseboard Installation | From $450 | Crown molding, baseboards, chair rail and window trim installed with the coped joints and clean caulk lines that Churchill's Grove and Edgewater 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 made for Rockford's bungalows, Tudors and finished basements, custom-fitted to bay windows, sloped attic ceilings and every awkward alcove. |
| Interior Door Installation & Repair | From $350 | Doors that stick, drift open or never latched right, in Rockford often a jamb that swells in humid summers and shrinks with dry winter heat, or a frame racked by an old house settling on its stone basement. 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 Rock River Valley winters, driving snow and summer thunderstorms, properly flashed, insulated and secured. We repair rotted or insect-damaged 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 Rockford's 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 Rockford's two-story homes and old basement flights climb every day, restore period railings, and install sturdy handrails and attic ladders. |
| Deck & Porch Repair | From $900 | Snow sitting on boards for months, frost heave under footings and humid shaded summers are hard on Rockford decks and porches, especially under the big oaks near the Rock River. 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, soft fascia boards and stained soffits are the first sign that ice dams and gutter overflow are moving rot into the roofline. We replace fascia, soffits and exterior trim with primed, rot-resistant material, closing the gaps that let meltwater and pests into the eaves. |
