Professional Carpentry Services Near You
Trim repair, exterior carpentry, framing repairs, cabinet adjustments, and custom built-ins — delivered with the craftsmanship that homeowners across Metro East Illinois and West St. Louis County have trusted for over 30 years.
Carpentry Services We Provide
Good carpentry is the difference between a home that looks finished and one that looks like it was put together in a hurry. We bring the skill and attention to detail that interior and exterior carpentry work demands — for homes throughout Metro East Illinois and West St. Louis County.
Trim Repair & Installation
Baseboards, door casings, window trim, crown molding, and chair rail — we repair, replace, and install all types of interior and exterior trim. Whether a section is damaged, missing, or you're updating the look of a room, we cut and fit trim with precision so joints are tight and profiles match. Many older Metro East and West County homes have original wood trim with character worth preserving — we can repair and splice damaged sections rather than replacing entire runs.
Exterior Carpentry
Fascia boards, soffits, corner boards, porch columns, and exterior trim are constantly exposed to weather and are among the first things to rot or deteriorate. We repair and replace all types of exterior carpentry using rot-resistant materials where appropriate, and we seal and prime everything properly so the repair lasts. Exterior carpentry work is especially common in older homes throughout Metro East Illinois and West St. Louis County.
Framing Repairs
Rotted sill plates, damaged headers, and compromised structural framing need to be addressed before cosmetic repairs can hold. We handle framing repairs for door and window openings, basement rim joists, and areas affected by water damage or pest activity. Framing repairs are often discovered during other projects — we'll identify any structural issues during our estimate and address them properly so your finished work lasts.
Cabinet Adjustments & Repairs
Kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors that won't close, drawers that stick, and hinges that sag are daily frustrations that are easy to fix with the right skills. We adjust, repair, and replace cabinet hardware, reattach loose cabinet boxes, and fix doors that are out of alignment. We also install new cabinet hardware — pulls, knobs, and soft-close hinges — which is one of the most cost-effective ways to update the look of a kitchen without a full remodel.
Custom Built-Ins & Shelving
Built-in shelving, custom closet organizers, window seats, mudroom benches, and other one-of-a-kind carpentry projects. We design and build custom pieces that fit your space and your style — using quality materials that will last. Custom carpentry adds both function and value to your home, and we'll work with you on the design and provide a detailed estimate before any work begins.
Rot Repair & Wood Replacement
Wood rot is one of the most common and damaging problems in homes throughout the St. Louis metro area. Left untreated, rot spreads and compromises the structural integrity of your home. We identify the full extent of rot damage, remove all affected wood, treat the area to prevent recurrence, and replace with matching materials — whether it's a porch post, window sill, deck ledger, or exterior trim board.
Common Carpentry Projects We Handle
Carpentry work is visible every day. Poorly fitted trim, misaligned cabinet doors, and rough cuts are constant reminders of work done in a hurry. When someone searches "carpentry services near me" or "exterior carpentry near me," they're usually looking for someone who takes pride in the craft — not just a quick patch job.
Phil, the owner of Hero Handyman Pro, has been doing carpentry work in the Metro East and West St. Louis County for over 30 years. He knows the older homes in this region — the original wood profiles, the common rot patterns, the framing quirks — and he brings that knowledge to every job.

Why Carpentry Requires Real Skill
Carpentry looks straightforward but requires precision that most people underestimate. Trim that doesn't fit tight at the corners, exterior boards that aren't properly primed before painting, or framing repairs that don't address the underlying moisture problem — these are the kinds of mistakes that lead to callbacks and repeat repairs.
The Metro East and West St. Louis County have a mix of housing stock from the 1890s through today. Each era has its own carpentry characteristics. Victorian-era homes have ornate profiles that require custom matching. Mid-century homes have simple trim that needs to be sourced carefully. Newer construction often has trim installed quickly that needs adjustment.
We've worked on hundreds of homes across this region. We know what to expect and how to handle it — and we'll tell you upfront if a repair isn't the right approach and replacement is the better option.
