“Oakland Carpentry completely transformed our kitchen with new cabinetry. The crew showed up on time, worked efficiently for three days, and left the place spotless. Our new cabinets look custom-built and the attention to detail is incredible.”
Cabinet & Vanity Installation
“We wanted built-in bookshelves around our fireplace and weren't sure who to call. These guys nailed it, literally and figuratively. They built beautiful shelving that fits the space perfectly and matches our home's character.”
Custom Built-Ins & Shelving
“Our back deck was falling apart after years of weather damage. Oakland Carpentry assessed it, replaced the rotted boards, and reinforced the whole structure. It's solid now and looks like new. Took them about a week and a half.”
Deck & Porch Repair
“Had them install a new solid wood entry door and it's gorgeous. The installation was clean, the door frame is perfectly level, and they sealed everything properly. First impression of our home just got a major upgrade.”
Exterior & Entry Door Installation
“One of our interior doors was sticking and wouldn't close right. I thought we'd need to replace the whole thing, but they adjusted and repaired it for a fraction of the cost. Quick visit, problem solved.”
Interior Door Installation & Repair
“Our old wooden staircase had loose treads and the railing was wobbly, safety hazard for the kids. Oakland Carpentry reinforced everything, replaced a couple damaged steps, and made it solid as a rock. The stairs look traditional and beautiful now, and we feel safe using them.”
Stair & Railing Repair
“We wanted to open up our living room by removing a wall. This was serious structural work and we needed professionals. The team was methodical, installed a proper beam, and everything is level and sound. They explained every step and we're confident in the work.”
Beam Replacement & Load-Bearing Wall Removal
“The exterior trim and fascia on our Hayward home were rotting and falling off in places. Oakland Carpentry replaced all the damaged sections with quality materials that match the original style. The house looks maintained again and we know it's protected from water damage.”

| Service | Starting from | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Wood Rot & Dry Rot Repair | From $650 | Rot in Oakland is usually local: a leaking gutter, a failed flashing, or ground-line moisture near the estuary. We trace the water first, cut back to sound wood, and rebuild in rot-resistant stock that holds. |
| Termite Damage Repair | From $1,200 | Subterranean and drywood termites are a bigger threat to Oakland wood-frame homes than fog-driven rot. Working from your pest report, we replace eaten studs, sills, joists and trim, restoring the structure the exterminator cannot rebuild. |
| Floor Joist & Subfloor Repair | From $1,800 | Bouncy floors in Oakland's Victorians and post-war bungalows trace to a cracked joist or a failed post. We sister or replace what is compromised, rebuild soft subfloor, and level the floor before finishes return. |
| Beam Replacement & Load-Bearing Wall Removal | From $3,500 | Opening up a wall in Oakland means thinking about the Hayward Fault as much as the span. We install engineered beams and remove load-bearing walls to your engineer's drawings, inspected at each stage. |
| Framing & Structural Carpentry | From $2,500 | New walls, garage and basement build-outs, openings, and repairs to fire or water damaged framing. On the hillside lots rebuilt after the 1991 firestorm we work to the approved engineered drawings. Straight, plumb and square. |
| Finish & Trim Carpentry | From $550 | In Oakland's Victorians and Preservation Park stock nothing is plumb or square, so every piece gets scribed. Casing, paneling, wainscoting and custom trim cut to the wall in front of us, with tight miters and even reveals. |
| Crown Molding & Baseboard Installation | From $450 | Crown, base, chair rail and window trim with coped joints and clean caulk lines. We match the Victorian and Edwardian profiles found across Oakland's older neighborhoods, or keep it crisp and modern for a hillside rebuild. |
| Custom Built-Ins & Shelving | From $1,900 | Bookshelves, window seats, media walls and closet systems built for Oakland's brown-shingle and bungalow plans. Measured to the bay window, the sloped hillside ceiling, and the awkward alcove beside the chimney. |
| Interior Door Installation & Repair | From $350 | Doors that stick or swing open on their own are an Oakland signature, because framing near the Hayward Fault settles. We plane, rehang and adjust jambs so the door works with the opening you actually have, and install pocket and barn doors. |
| Exterior & Entry Door Installation | From $850 | Entry, back and French doors set plumb, flashed and weathertight for Oakland's mild wet winters and hard dry summers. We repair rotted frames and thresholds where water has been sitting, or replace the whole unit. |
| Cabinet & Vanity Installation | From $1,100 | Most of Oakland's older housing stock has floors that have moved and walls that were never square to begin with. We level kitchen cabinets, vanities and laundry storage off a laser line and scribe them to fit. |
| Stair & Railing Repair | From $600 | We repair and rebuild the staircases Oakland's Victorians and Edwardians climb every day, from treads to stringers. Loose banisters and worn newel posts restored, plus secure handrails and attic ladders fitted. |
| Deck & Porch Repair | From $900 | Oakland decks fail at the connections and the ground line long before the boards give up. We probe posts, ledgers and framing, replace what is rotted, and give you an honest repair or replace number before we start. |
| Fascia, Soffit & Exterior Trim Repair | From $700 | Soft fascia and peeling paint at the roofline are the first sign water is getting in behind the gutter line. In Oakland it is also how pests reach an attic. We replace fascia, soffit and trim in primed stock. |
