Build What Your Home Needs Next

Carpentry and framing services in Summerville for remodels, built-ins, and structural support.

You need new framing to open up a wall in your Summerville home, or you want a built-in bookcase that fits the odd angle in your living room. You need carpentry work that holds up under weight, stays square over time, and supports the next phase of your project. Precision Home Repair handles structural and non-structural carpentry for homeowners across Summerville who are adding space, reconfiguring rooms, or building custom features that require accurate cuts and solid fastening.

This service includes framing for interior remodels, building supports for cabinets or countertops, constructing custom shelving units, and installing framework that other trades will finish. If your renovation involves removing a section of wall, adding a closet, or creating a nook for appliances, the framing needs to meet load requirements and align with local building standards. The work is done with treated lumber where moisture is a concern, and all connections are made to carry the intended load without sagging or shifting.

What the work includes and how it fits your project

When you schedule carpentry and framing in Summerville, the first step is measuring the space and confirming what needs to be supported, enclosed, or opened. You will see the crew mark stud locations, check for plumb and level, and secure each piece with structural screws or nails depending on the application. The framing goes in before drywall, so this is when adjustments are easy and layout decisions matter most.

After the framing is complete, you will notice that walls are straight, corners are tight, and any new openings are properly supported with headers. Built-ins will have a solid backing, and cabinetry will mount securely without flexing. The structure is ready for the next trade to move in, whether that is electrical, plumbing, or drywall installation.

This service does not include finish carpentry, drywall, or paint. It covers the rough framework that makes the rest of the project possible. If your remodel involves multiple rooms or phased work, the framing can be scheduled in sections to keep other trades on track and avoid delays in your timeline.

Questions about framing come up often

Homeowners who are planning remodels or custom built-ins often ask about framing requirements, material choices, and how the work fits into their overall schedule.

What types of carpentry work does this service cover?
This service covers structural framing for walls, built-ins, closets, and support for cabinets or countertops. It also includes non-structural carpentry such as shelving frames and custom features that require precise cuts and solid attachment.
How long does framing work take to complete?
A single built-in or closet frame typically takes one day, while framing for a full room remodel may take two to three days depending on the number of walls and openings. Scheduling depends on access and coordination with other trades.
What materials are used for interior framing?
Most interior framing uses kiln-dried dimensional lumber such as two-by-fours or two-by-sixes. In areas where moisture is present, treated lumber is used to prevent rot and maintain structural integrity over time.
Why does framing need to be done before other work?
Framing creates the structure that supports drywall, holds electrical boxes in place, and provides backing for cabinets and trim. Without it, there is no stable surface for finishing work, and adjustments become much harder after walls are closed.
What happens if the framing uncovers an issue with the existing structure?
If rotted wood, settling, or improper framing is found, you will be notified before proceeding. The issue is documented, and options for repair or reinforcement are discussed so the new framing is secure and meets code.
