“Salem Carpentry removed a load-bearing wall in our kitchen to open up the space, and they installed a beautiful timber beam to carry the load. The whole job took about 5 days, and they were super careful with temporary support the whole time. Really impressed with how clean they left everything.”
Beam Replacement & Load-Bearing Wall Removal
“They came out to frame up an addition we're adding to the back of our house. Three-person crew, very efficient, and they got the structural work done in just over a week. The framing is solid and square, you can tell these guys know what they're doing.”
Framing & Structural Carpentry
“We had Salem Carpentry build custom storage cubbies and shelving under our deck, and honestly they turned out even better than we imagined. The craftsmanship is really nice, everything is level and the finish is clean. Worth every penny.”
Custom Built-Ins & Shelving
“Our front entry door frame was pretty rough, and Salem Carpentry replaced the whole frame and hung a new door. The fit is perfect, no drafts, and the installation looks professional. Quick turnaround too, they had it done in an afternoon.”
Exterior & Entry Door Installation
“Had them repair and rehang three interior doors that were sticking and out of square. They adjusted the frames, shimmed everything properly, and now they close smooth as butter. Small job but they treated it like it mattered.”
Interior Door Installation & Repair
“Our fascia and soffit on the north side of the house were rotting out pretty bad. Salem Carpentry replaced it all with new material and matched the existing trim perfectly. The detail work was excellent, and cleanup was thorough, no debris left behind.”

| Service | Starting from | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Wood Rot & Dry Rot Repair | From $650 | Salem's long rainy season and damp crawlspaces make wood rot the most common failure on the city's Craftsman bungalows and Victorian 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 | In Salem, dampwood termites and carpenter ants go wherever wood stays wet, and subterranean termites turn up in older foundations. Once the pest treatment is done, the damaged wood 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 Salem's older homes usually trace to joists and girders decaying in damp, poorly vented crawlspaces, or to 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-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 coordinated with the permit your project needs. |
| Framing & Structural Carpentry | From $2,500 | Remodel framing done right: new interior walls, garage and ADU build-outs, wall openings, and repairs to rot- or storm-damaged framing. Straight, plumb and built to code, 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 Salem homes, from Victorian parlors to new West Salem 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 Salem's Court-Chemeketa Victorians and Grant bungalows 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 Salem's Craftsman bungalows and mid-century homes, 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: in Salem homes that is often a framing shift over a damp crawlspace or swelling from the wet season. 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 Salem's months of wind-driven rain and occasional ice storms, 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 Salem's often out-of-level older floors over settling crawlspaces, 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 Salem's Victorian homes and South Salem hillside split-levels climb every day, restore period railings, and install code-compliant handrails and attic ladders. |
| Deck & Porch Repair | From $900 | Rain, moss and carpenter ants are hard on Salem decks and covered porches that stay wet from fall to spring. We replace rotted or insect-damaged 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 that rain, overflowing gutters or moss have let rot and insects into the roofline. We replace fascia, soffits and exterior trim with primed, rot-resistant material, closing the gaps that let moisture and pests in. |
