We handle commercial framing for new walls and partitions, finish carpentry (trim, molding, wainscoting), custom shelving and display units, reception desk and millwork installation, cabinet repair and replacement, door frame repair, ADA handrail installation, structural wood repairs, and general commercial woodwork across office buildings, retail stores, restaurants, and warehouses.
Yes. Custom shelving, display fixtures, and retail millwork built to your specific dimensions and finish requirements add significant value to a retail environment. We build units that match your brand aesthetic, are structurally sound, and anchored properly for safety.
Yes. Tenant improvement buildouts frequently require new interior walls, office partitions, closets, and storage rooms. We frame stud walls to layout drawings, coordinate openings for doors and windows, and prepare surfaces for drywall installation. We work from your floor plan or help develop layout drawings.
Yes. Commercial door frame repairs — damaged jambs, broken stops, loose frame anchors, and rotted wood — are handled promptly. We also install new commercial door frames, pre-hung doors, closers, and hardware for office, retail, and warehouse applications.
Yes. Finish carpentry — including crown molding, base molding, chair rail, wainscoting, column wraps, and built-in millwork — adds a professional, polished look to commercial offices, boardrooms, and reception areas. We measure, cut, and install finish carpentry with tight joints and smooth transitions.
Yes. ADA-compliant handrails require specific height, diameter, and extension requirements per Pennsylvania building code. We install wood, metal bracket, and composite handrail systems on commercial stairways and ramps that meet ADA requirements and provide required safety and support.
Yes. Commercial break room and kitchen cabinet repairs — including door hinges, drawer slides, door fronts, and cabinet boxes — extend the life of existing cabinetry significantly. When replacement is warranted, we source and install commercial-grade cabinets that withstand daily heavy use.
Yes. We build custom wood shelving, bin storage, pallet racking supplement panels, and organizational systems for commercial warehouse and storage applications. We assess your storage needs and build cost-effective solutions that maximize your available space.
Yes. Rotted sill plates, damaged floor joists (accessible sections), deteriorated wood columns, and structural wood in crawl spaces and basements of commercial buildings are repair items we assess and address. For significant structural work, we coordinate with structural engineers when required.
Yes. Scranton Handyman Corporation is fully licensed and carries comprehensive general liability insurance for all commercial carpentry projects. We can provide a certificate of insurance for your vendor records.
Yes. Matching stain color, grain direction, and sheen level in commercial renovations is important for a cohesive, professional appearance. We use color-matched stains, test samples, and appropriate topcoats to blend new work with existing finishes.
Commercial carpentry timelines vary significantly by project scope. A door frame repair or handrail installation may take a few hours. A full tenant buildout framing package or custom shelving installation may take multiple days. We provide a project timeline with your written estimate.
Yes. We install and repair commercial decking including restaurant patio decks, office building entrance platforms, and loading dock wood surrounds using pressure-treated lumber, composite decking, and appropriate commercial fasteners.
Yes. Commercial spaces often combine drywall bulkheads with dropped ceiling grid sections. We install T-bar grid systems, spline ceilings, and perimeter molding to complete the ceiling plane in commercial offices, retail spaces, and common areas.
Commercial carpentry costs vary by scope, material selection, and finish quality. Simple repairs and small installations are priced affordably; custom millwork and larger framing projects reflect the skilled labor involved.

Yes. Carpentry frequently overlaps with electrical, plumbing, drywall, and painting on commercial projects. We coordinate our work sequence with other trades to keep your renovation on schedule and avoid rework.

Yes. Scranton Handyman Corporation provides residential carpentry services throughout Scranton, Taylor, Dunmore, Clarks Summit, and surrounding NEPA communities. From trim installation to custom built-ins, structural repairs to wood refinishing — we handle it all. Call (570) 209-0355 for a free estimate.
Yes. Custom shelving built to your wall dimensions and storage needs is one of our most popular residential carpentry services. We build and install floating shelves, closet shelving systems, garage storage shelves, pantry shelving, and utility room storage using quality materials that look great and hold up long-term.
Yes. Installing or repairing trim — baseboards, door casings, window casings, crown molding, chair rail, and wainscoting — dramatically elevates the finished look of any room. We measure, cut, cope, and install trim with tight joints and proper fastening for a clean, professional result.
Yes. Cabinet door realignment, hinge replacement, drawer slide replacement, and new door and drawer front installation are common repairs that make existing cabinets function like new. Cabinet repairs cost a fraction of cabinet replacement and can completely refresh a kitchen or bathroom.
Yes. Built-in bookcases, entertainment centers, window seats, and custom storage are signature residential carpentry projects we love building. They add significant value, storage, and visual impact to a home. We work from your design ideas or help develop a design based on your space and needs.
Yes. Damaged, warped, cupped, or rotted hardwood floor sections can often be replaced and blended into the existing floor. We match the species, grain direction, and finish as closely as possible. We also repair squeaky floors caused by subfloor-to-joist separation.
Yes. Stair carpentry — including loose balusters, damaged treads, wobbly newel posts, and railing installation — is an important safety repair. Stair repairs also make a dramatic visual difference in a home's entry or interior. We repair existing stairs and install new railings to current building code requirements.
Yes. Wood refinishing — stripping, sanding, staining, and applying a durable topcoat — restores furniture and cabinetry to like-new condition. We handle in-place refinishing of built-ins, kitchen cabinet refinishing, and furniture refinishing for Scranton-area homeowners.
Yes. Basement finishing and small room additions require interior wall framing — stud layout, header installation, blocking, and preparation for drywall. We frame new interior spaces from scratch or modify existing framing for renovations in Scranton-area homes.
Residential carpentry costs vary widely by project scope, wood species, finish complexity, and installation requirements. Small repairs like a cabinet hinge or a stair baluster start at modest labor costs; custom built-ins are priced by the linear foot and complexity. We provide free written estimates — call (570) 209-0355.
Yes. Rotted window sills, door frames, exterior trim boards, porch posts, and deck wood are repaired by cutting out the affected area, treating remaining wood, and splicing in new material with proper sealing to prevent recurrence. We match the profile and finish of the existing trim.
Yes. Window and door casing installation — both interior and exterior — is a finish carpentry staple. We cut mitered or butted casing joints, maintain consistent reveal, fasten properly, and fill nail holes for a factory-finished look.
Yes. Stain matching is a skill we take seriously — an obvious color mismatch ruins the appearance of an otherwise good repair. We test stain combinations on scrap pieces until we achieve a close match before applying to the repair area.
Yes. We build and repair residential decks using pressure-treated lumber and composite decking products. NEPA's winters are demanding on wood decks — we specify appropriate fastening, flashing, and ledger connections that hold up through freeze-thaw cycles.
Yes. Sagging or bouncy floors are caused by failed floor joists, weakened girders, deteriorated posts, or subfloor issues. We assess the cause, shore up or sister damaged joists, replace deteriorated structural wood, and restore the floor to a solid, level condition.
Yes. Garage and utility room storage systems — built-in shelving, overhead storage platforms, wall-mounted cabinets, and workshop benches — dramatically improve the function and organization of these spaces. We build to your dimensions using materials appropriate for the environment.
Simple repairs (a hinge replacement, a single shelf) take one to two hours. Trim installation in a room takes a half to full day. Custom built-in projects and structural repairs may take two to five days depending on scope. We give you a realistic timeline with your written estimate.
Yes. Free estimates are provided for all residential carpentry projects. Call (570) 209-0355, email info@scranton-handyman.com, or use the contact form at scranton-handyman.com.
