Precision Work That Holds the Structure Together

Carpentry is what holds your home together when storms shake the framing or humidity swells the studs. In Gulfport, older homes settle unevenly, door frames go out of square, and floor joists sag under bathrooms where slow leaks have gone unnoticed. Gerard Construction LLC handles framing repairs, structural reinforcement, and detailed finish work that requires tight measurements and clean cuts. You see the results in doors that close without sticking, walls that sit plumb, and trim that meets at crisp angles.

The work covers everything from sistering floor joists and replacing rotted sill plates to building custom shelving, installing crown molding, and reframing window openings. In Gulfport, many projects involve undoing damage from water intrusion or wind uplift, which means removing compromised lumber, treating surrounding areas, and rebuilding to current standards. Carpentry is often the first trade on site and the last to finish, tying together the framing, insulation, drywall, and trim into a completed space.

If you have sagging floors, crooked door frames, or a larger project that needs solid framing work in Gulfport, get in touch to talk through what is involved.

Carpentry projects in Gulfport begin with measuring existing conditions, checking for level and plumb, and identifying what is structural versus cosmetic. You will see the crew use a laser level to check floor joists, a moisture meter to test suspect framing, and a square to verify corners before cutting. Structural repairs might involve jacking up a sagging beam, adding support posts in a crawl space, or replacing sections of wall framing that have rotted from the bottom plate up.

Once the framing is sound, finish carpentry brings the space together with baseboards that sit flush, window casings that align with the jamb, and doors that swing without binding. You will notice that gaps disappear, seams line up, and nothing looks forced or shimmed beyond reason. Good carpentry does not draw attention to itself, but you feel the difference in how solid and square everything sits.

Gerard Construction LLC works with both dimensional lumber and engineered materials, matches existing profiles when blending new trim with old, and cleans up sawdust and cutoffs at the end of each day. The service does not include electrical or plumbing rough-in, but it does include coordinating with those trades when framing needs to accommodate new runs. The questions below cover what homeowners usually want to know before starting carpentry work.

Most questions focus on how long repairs will take, whether old framing can be salvaged, and what kind of wood works best in humid conditions.
