Minor Carpentry for Apartments and Rental Units
A cabinet door hanging off a hinge or a closet shelf torn out of the wall holds up a whole turn. We put them back on fasteners that hold.
Carpentry Repairs
Each item is too small to call a carpenter for, so the list gets stuck. We do them on the unit scope.

Cabinet doors re-hung, hinges replaced, drawer fronts and slides repaired.
Closets
Shelves, rods and brackets reinstalled so they hold weight.
Trim
Casing and baseboard repaired or replaced.
Stairs and Rails
Loose treads and handrails secured.
Sills
Damaged window sills and stools repaired.
Odd Jobs
The small wood repairs that are on nobody else's list.
Why Property Managers Send Us Minor Carpentry
- Too Small for a Carpenter
- A loose cabinet door or a pulled-out shelf is too small to call a carpenter for. It goes on the unit scope.
- Fixed to Hold Weight
- Shelves and rods are reinstalled into framing or proper anchors so they stay up.
- Cabinets Put Right
- Hinges, drawer slides and fronts repaired so the kitchen looks cared for.
Before the Carpentry Starts
Will the shelf pull out again?
No. Shelves and rods go into studs or proper anchors.
Is one loose cabinet door worth a visit?
It goes on the unit scope with everything else.
Will the cabinet look patched up?
Hinges, drawer slides and fronts are repaired, and anything new is primed and painted with the rest of the unit.
When Small Repairs Hold Up a Unit
Turns cluster at month end, because leases end on the last day of the month. Put small items on the scope so they are not why a unit misses the 1st. See punch list repairs.

How we work
Shelves and rods go into studs
A closet shelf that pulled out of the wall was hung on anchors not rated for the load. We reinstall it into framing, or on anchors rated for the weight, so it holds through the next tenant.
