| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood Rot & Dry Rot Repair | From $650 | Lubbock's dry air does not cause rot on its own, but hail-cracked roofs, leaking plumbing and sprinkler overspray keep wood wet long enough to decay in the city's brick bungalows and ranch homes. We cut out decayed framing, siding and trim, treat surrounding wood and rebuild with rot-resistant lumber, a permanent repair, not a cosmetic patch. |
| Termite Damage Repair | From $1,200 | Subterranean termites are less aggressive on the South Plains than in humid East Texas, but they still find wet wood under Lubbock's older pier-and-beam homes. After the exterminator leaves, the damaged wood stays, we replace termite-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 Lubbock's older pier-and-beam homes usually trace to tired joists, shifting piers on caliche-laced clay, or to plumbing leaks and poor drainage soaking the crawlspace. 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, with any permit the City of Lubbock requires sorted out before work begins. |
| Framing & Structural Carpentry | From $2,500 | Remodel framing done right: new interior walls, garage and ADU build-outs, wall openings, and repairs to hail-, wind- or leak-damaged framing. Straight, plumb and solid, 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 Lubbock homes, old and new, with joints set to ride out the dry winters. |
| Crown Molding & Baseboard Installation | From $450 | Crown molding, baseboards, chair rail and window trim installed with the coped joints and clean caulk lines Lubbock's Tech Terrace cottages and Lakeridge ranches deserve, 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 Lubbock's brick bungalows and long ranch homes, custom-fitted to bay windows, arched openings, sloped ceilings and every awkward alcove. |
| Interior Door Installation & Repair | From $350 | Doors that stick, swing open on their own or never latched right, in Lubbock homes the cause is usually piers settling under an older house or seasonal swings between dry winters and stormy springs. 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 tight against South Plains wind, blowing dust, hail and hard winter cold snaps, properly flashed, insulated and secured. We repair rotted or hail-battered 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 Lubbock's older out-of-level floors and settling slabs, scribed to out-of-square walls, with hardware aligned and doors adjusted. |
| Stair & Railing Repair | From $600 | Squeaky treads, loose banisters, worn stringers: we repair and rebuild the staircases in Lubbock's two-story homes and older split-levels, where dry heated air loosens glued joints every winter; restore period railings; and install sturdy handrails and attic ladders. |
| Deck & Porch Repair | From $900 | Hail, wind-driven dust, punishing sun and freeze-thaw swings are hard on Lubbock decks and porches. We replace split, hail-pocked or 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 | Hail-dented, split or peeling fascia boards are often the first place water gets into a Lubbock roofline. We replace fascia, soffits and exterior trim with primed, rot-resistant material, closing the gaps that let moisture, dust and pests into the eaves. |
What Affects the Price
- Extent of Damage or Project Scope : Larger areas of rot, more structural damage, or extensive framing work require more labor and materials, which increases the overall cost of your repair or installation.
- Material Quality and Selection : The type of wood, hardware, trim, and finishes you choose directly impact pricing. Premium materials and custom options cost more than standard alternatives.
- Accessibility and Site Conditions : Difficult-to-reach areas, tight spaces, or work requiring special equipment or safety measures may add to labor time and project cost.
- Structural Complexity and Permits : Load-bearing repairs, beam replacements, and structural work often require permits and inspections, which add time and expense to ensure code compliance.

Pricing FAQ
Why do carpentry prices vary so much between different projects?
Every home and repair is unique. Factors like the amount of damage, wood species needed, structural requirements, accessibility, and whether permits are required all affect the final cost. A small trim repair costs far less than a beam replacement or load-bearing wall removal, which requires engineering and inspections.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes, we provide free, no-obligation estimates for all carpentry work in Lubbock. Call us at (806) 686-3279 to schedule a time for our team to assess your project and give you a detailed quote.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, checks, and major credit cards. For larger projects, we can discuss payment schedules. Contact us at (806) 686-3279 to discuss payment options that work best for your situation.
Are permits and inspections included in your starting prices?
Structural work like beam replacement and load-bearing wall removal requires permits and inspections, which are typically included in our quoted price. For smaller repairs and finish work, permits may not be necessary. We will clarify this during your estimate.
How long does a typical carpentry project take?
Timeline depends on project complexity. Simple installations like interior doors or crown molding may take a day or two, while structural repairs or custom built-ins can take a week or more. We provide a realistic timeline with every estimate.
