| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood Rot & Dry Rot Repair | From $650 | Sioux Falls winters do their damage slowly: ice dams, melting snow and dozens of freeze-thaw cycles push water into the sills, porch framing and trim of Cathedral district Victorians and McKennan Park 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 | Termites are far less common here than in the South, but subterranean termites do turn up in eastern South Dakota, and carpenter ants hollow out damp wood the same way. Once the pest is treated, the damage 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 Sioux Falls' older homes usually trace to damp basements, rim joists soaked by snowmelt, or joists notched for decades of plumbing and wiring. 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 permit requirements that apply at your address. |
| Framing & Structural Carpentry | From $2,500 | Remodel framing done right: new interior walls, basement finishes, garage and ADU build-outs, wall openings, and repairs to storm- or water-damaged framing. Straight, plumb and square, 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 Sioux Falls homes, from All Saints Victorians to new builds in Tea and Brandon. |
| Crown Molding & Baseboard Installation | From $450 | Crown molding, baseboards, chair rail and window trim installed with the coped joints and clean caulk lines that McKennan Park and Cathedral district 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 Sioux Falls' Craftsman bungalows, foursquares and finished basements, 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 seasonal humidity swelling the jamb, or a house shifting as Sioux Falls' clay soils freeze and thaw. 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 blizzard winds, sub-zero cold and driving summer storms, properly flashed, insulated and sealed against drafts. We repair rotted or ice-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 Sioux Falls' settled older floors, scribed to out-of-square walls in older homes and finished basements, with hardware aligned and doors adjusted. |
| Stair & Railing Repair | From $600 | Squeaky treads, loose banisters, worn stringers: we repair and rebuild the staircases Sioux Falls homes climb every day, Victorian main stairs, split-level half flights and steep basement stairs, restore period railings, and install sturdy handrails and attic ladders. |
| Deck & Porch Repair | From $900 | Snow piled on boards for months, ice at the ledger and summer hail are hard on Sioux Falls decks and porches. We replace rotted or split 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 ice dams and meltwater are getting behind the gutters. We replace fascia, soffits and exterior trim with primed, rot-resistant material, closing the gaps that let moisture and pests into the roofline. |
What Affects the Price
- Extent of Damage or Project Scope : Small repairs like interior door installation cost less than major structural work like beam replacement or load-bearing wall removal. The more wood that needs repair or replacement, the higher the cost.
- Material Quality and Type : Premium lumber, specialty trim, and high-end finishes increase project costs. We work with quality materials built to last in Sioux Falls' climate.
- Labor Time and Complexity : Intricate finish carpentry, custom built-ins, and structural repairs require skilled craftsmanship and take longer than straightforward installations, affecting the final price.
- Accessibility and Site Conditions : Hard-to-reach areas, tight spaces, or sites requiring special equipment may add to labor costs. We assess your specific situation during the estimate.

Pricing FAQ
Why do carpentry prices vary so much between projects?
