Carpentry – Romero’s Home Improvement

Carpentry

Why It Matters

From custom trim and crown molding to framing and built-in shelving, our carpentry work is measured, cut, and installed on site for a precise fit. We also handle wood rot repair and door/window casing replacement.

No two houses are perfectly square, so off-the-shelf trim rarely fits cleanly into a real room. We measure and cut on site, coping inside corners instead of just mitering them, and shim and caulk every run so the finished trim looks continuous even where the wall isn't perfectly straight.

Signs You Need a Carpenter

Gaps between trim and the wall, doors that stick or won't latch properly, soft or spongy wood around window sills, and mismatched or missing molding after a renovation are all signs it's time to call a carpenter rather than reach for wood filler.

Carpentry Cost Factors in Gaithersburg

Carpentry pricing depends on the material (pine, poplar, hardwood), the linear footage of trim or framing involved, complexity of cuts and joints, and whether it's new work or matching existing millwork. We'll give you a clear written estimate before any wood is cut.

Our Carpentry Process

1

Free Estimate & Measurements

We measure the space and discuss materials — pine, poplar, MDF — and finish options.

2

Cut & Fit On Site

Trim and framing pieces are cut to the room's actual angles, not assumed 90-degree corners.

3

Install, Shim & Caulk

Pieces are secured, gaps shimmed, and joints caulked for a seamless look.

4

Ready for Finish

The work is sanded and ready for paint or stain, with a final walkthrough.

Why Choose Romero's Home Improvement for Carpentry

We run carpentry ourselves rather than subcontracting it out, so the crew that gives you the estimate is the same crew that does the work.

FAQ: Carpenter Gaithersburg MD

Do you build custom built-in shelving?

Yes, we design and build built-ins to fit alcoves, fireplaces, and awkward spaces that off-the-shelf furniture doesn't handle well.

Can you repair wood rot instead of replacing the whole piece?

Often yes — if the damage is localized we can cut out and splice in new wood rather than replacing an entire door frame or sill.
