Carpentry Services
Custom decks, covered porches, staircases, structural framing, and finish trim — built with care by Five Star craftsmen serving Cleveland's west side.
Covered Porches & Front Porch Additions
A well-built porch adds curb appeal, usable living space, and real resale value. We frame, deck, and finish covered porches from the ground up — including posts, beams, railings, soffits, and trim. Whether you want a simple open front porch or a full covered addition with ceiling fans and lighting rough-in, our carpenters handle every phase.
- Covered & open front porch additions
- Structural post and beam framing
- Composite or pressure-treated decking
- Railings, balusters, and newel posts
- Soffit, fascia, and trim finish work
- Stone or brick accent columns
Custom Decks Built to Last
From a simple ground-level platform to a multi-level deck with built-in benches and stairs, we build decks that are structurally sound and visually sharp. We use pressure-treated lumber for framing and offer composite or PT decking for the surface. Every deck is permitted, inspected, and built to code.
- Pressure-treated and composite decking
- Ground-level, elevated, and multi-level decks
- Deck stairs with open or closed risers
- Cable, aluminum, or wood railing systems
- Built-in benches and planter boxes
- Ledger board attachment and footings
Interior & Exterior Stair Carpentry
Stairs are one of the most visible and high-traffic elements in any home. We build new staircases from scratch, replace worn treads and risers, install custom newel posts and balusters, and refinish existing stair systems to match new flooring. Our stair work is tight, level, and built to code.
- New interior staircase construction
- Tread and riser replacement
- Custom newel posts and balusters
- LVP and hardwood stair tread installation
- Exterior deck and porch stairs
- Open-riser and closed-riser designs
Wall Framing, Additions & Structural Work
Whether you're finishing a basement, adding a room, or reconfiguring an open floor plan, we handle the structural framing that makes it possible. We frame new walls, build soffits and bulkheads, install headers and beams, and prepare spaces for drywall. All framing is plumb, level, and built to local code.
- Basement finishing and room additions
- Interior wall framing and layout
- Soffit and bulkhead framing
- Header and beam installation
- Blocking for cabinetry and fixtures
- Subfloor installation and leveling
Baseboards, Casing, Crown & Accent Trim
Finish carpentry is what separates a house from a home. We install baseboards, door and window casing, crown molding, chair rail, wainscoting, shiplap accent walls, and custom built-ins. Our trim carpenters work with precision — tight miters, clean caulk lines, and a finish that looks like it was always there.
- Baseboard and door/window casing
- Crown molding and chair rail
- Shiplap and board-and-batten accent walls
- Wainscoting and paneling
- Built-in shelving and storage
- Barn door hardware and installation
