Carpentry repair
in The Heights.
The Heights is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Houston, and the housing stock reflects it — early-1900s bungalows, Victorians, and shotgun houses sitting on pier-and-beam foundations. That age is what makes the carpentry interesting and what fills our schedule.

About service in The Heights
Can you match original Heights trim profiles?
Common profiles are stocked; unusual profiles get sourced or milled. We tell you which one you have before starting.
Do you work on protected historic properties?
We work on Heights homes regularly. Any historic-district exterior work should be reviewed for compliance — we can coordinate around that.
Are pier-and-beam repairs different?
The carpentry is similar; the difference is that door and window alignment can shift as the beams move. We measure current openings, not what they used to be.
