“Madison Carpentry removed a load-bearing wall in our 1970s ranch to open up the kitchen, and they installed a beautiful exposed beam to match the vaulted ceiling we wanted. The crew of three worked cleanly and finished in just over a week. I was nervous about structural work, but their crew knew exactly what they were doing and pulled permits properly.”
Beam Replacement & Load-Bearing Wall Removal
“We had them build a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf in our living room nook, and it turned out even better than the Pinterest photos we showed them. The attention to detail on the crown molding at the top was impressive, and they stained it to match our existing trim perfectly.”
Custom Built-Ins & Shelving
“Our old stone house had some serious dry rot in the window frames on the north side, we were worried it was going to be a nightmare. Madison Carpentry came out, replaced the damaged wood with new material that blends seamlessly, and sealed everything up properly. They explained what they were doing the whole time and left the place spotless.”
Wood Rot & Dry Rot Repair
“Had some rotting fascia and soffit on the back of our 1890s stone cottage that was letting water in. The guys replaced about 40 linear feet of damaged trim and caulked everything properly. They were done in an afternoon and cleaned up all the old material, no mess left behind.”
Fascia, Soffit & Exterior Trim Repair
“Our back porch had a support post that was starting to sink and rot at the base. Madison Carpentry jacked it up, replaced the damaged post and the substructure underneath, and now it's solid as a rock. The whole job took two days and they made sure to match the existing wood grain.”
Deck & Porch Repair
“We needed new interior doors installed throughout our remodeled upstairs, and Madison Carpentry hung all six doors with perfect alignment and installed new trim around each one. Everything closes smoothly and the finish work looks professional.”

| Service | Starting from | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Wood Rot & Dry Rot Repair | From $650 | Madison's ice dams, spring snowmelt and humid lake-country summers keep moisture working into the wood of isthmus Queen Annes and west-side bungalows. 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 | Subterranean termites are uncommon this far north, but carpenter ants hollow out damp sills and studs across Madison's older homes. Once the pest control company is done, the damaged wood stays, we replace ant- or 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 Madison's older homes usually trace to joists rotted at a damp fieldstone basement wall, or to decades of notching for plumbing and heat runs. 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 the building permit requirements that apply at your Madison address. |
| Framing & Structural Carpentry | From $2,500 | Remodel framing done right: new interior walls, basement and attic build-outs, accessory dwelling units, wall openings, and repairs to snow-load- or rot-damaged framing. Straight, plumb and code-compliant, 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 Madison homes, old and new. |
| Crown Molding & Baseboard Installation | From $450 | Crown molding, baseboards, chair rail and window trim installed with the coped joints and clean caulk lines Madison's University Heights and Regent homes demand, 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 Madison's Prairie bungalows and isthmus foursquares, custom-fitted to bay windows, sloped attic ceilings and every awkward alcove. |
| Interior Door Installation & Repair | From $350 | Doors that stick, swing open on their own, or never latched right, often the first sign of a settling basement or seasonal swelling inside the jamb in Madison homes. 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 Wisconsin winters, wind-driven snow and humid summers, properly flashed, insulated and secured. We repair rotted or ant-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 Madison'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 Madison's tall isthmus houses and basement homes climb every day, restore period railings, and install code-compliant handrails and attic ladders. |
| Deck & Porch Repair | From $900 | Snow load, freeze-thaw and spring meltwater are hard on Madison decks and the deep front porches of its older homes. 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 meltwater or carpenter ants moving in. We replace fascia, soffits and exterior trim with primed, rot-resistant material, closing the gaps that let moisture and pests into the roofline. |
