Ark Carpentry

What started as a simple drywall repair quickly revealed a much larger issue hidden behind the walls.

During demolition, we discovered extensive black mold, which led to a deeper inspection of the home. The mold had spread from the wall cavity beneath the kitchen cabinets and into the subfloor system. As we continued investigating, we uncovered significant termite damage that had been left untreated by previous homeowners.

We worked with the client to hire a remediation company to professionally remove the mold, allowing us to move forward with rebuilding the affected areas. The partition wall between the office and kitchen had suffered both mold and termite damage, requiring replacement of structural components. We rebuilt the load-bearing wall, removed and replaced damaged floor supports, installed new subflooring, and completed new flooring throughout the affected spaces.

The project also included new kitchen base cabinets, countertops, and sink installation. In the office, we replaced the subfloor, installed new carpet, and finished the space with new drywall.

Sometimes the biggest value we provide isn’t just the finished product—it’s uncovering problems before they become even more costly. We’re thankful we were able to help make this home safe, sound, and beautiful again.

I was recently hired by a friend to modernize a customer’s stairway opening with a durable, high-end look. This modern stairway guardrail was built and installed using red oak posts and rails, paired with sleek black metal balusters (which were protected during painting for a clean finish). This project focused on both beauty and structural strength, ensuring a safe and visually striking upgrade. Careful attention was given to making the base and handrail perfectly level from top to bottom.

With precise planning and ex*****on, each post was set plumb and true—creating a solid foundation that allowed the entire build to come together seamlessly. Let us know your thoughts, and give us a like and share!

We completed a full deck rebuild and stain project, enhancing both the safety and appearance of the space. The existing deck boards were removed and replaced due to rot, while the handrails were replaced for structural integrity and stability.

To reinforce the guardrails, we installed new 4x4 posts and balusters, ensuring the deck is both safe and compliant. We also addressed surface wear by sanding down splintered wood, creating a smooth finish.

The entire deck was thoroughly washed and prepped before applying a fresh stain, enhancing the natural beauty of the wood while providing long-lasting protection against the elements. With these upgrades, the deck is now rigid, secure, and built to safely support substantial weight for everyday use and gatherings.
