From replacing a cracked piece of window trim to hanging a new interior door or building a mudroom bench for ski gear, carpentry is a big part of keeping a mountain home working.

Rot is a mountain-home problem
Snow piled against siding and trim, plus water from ice dams, can rot wood at the bottom of walls and along the roofline. Replacing a rotted board early is far cheaper than chasing water damage behind it.
Wood moves with the seasons
Very dry winters and wetter springs make trim open up and close. Good joinery, caulk and paint help it hold up.

Common questions
Do you do structural framing?
Small repairs, yes. Structural changes, additions and load-bearing work need a licensed contractor and usually a permit.
Can you match old cabin trim?
Often, yes, with stock profiles or a close match. Very old custom profiles can take more work to copy.
Can you build storage for ski gear?
Yes. Benches, hooks, shelves and cubbies are common Tahoe requests.
