Weymouth, MA Carpentry Services
Weymouth does not have a single downtown. It is made up of four villages, each with its own center: Bicknell Square in North Weymouth, Jackson Square in East Weymouth, Columbian Square in South Weymouth and Weymouth Landing on the Braintree line. Homes range from older capes and colonials near the village squares to waterfront houses along the Fore River and Back River and newer subdivisions in South Weymouth. CB Carpentry provides framing, finish trim, cabinetry and built-ins, decks and exterior carpentry, doors and windows and flooring throughout Weymouth, usually starting within a week or two.
What we build in Weymouth
Rough Carpentry
Weymouth's many Capes and ranches are prime candidates for dormers, bump-outs and additions when a family needs more space. We frame additions and dormers, open up kitchens by replacing load-bearing walls with beams, finish basements with new wall framing and soffits, and repair rotted sills and joists. Structural work and additions need a building permit from the town, and we time the work around inspections so nothing gets covered early.
For waterfront homes along the Fore River and Back River, we also check sills and rim joists for moisture damage during any renovation. We also build new stairs to finished basements and attics.
Rough Carpentry detailsFinish Carpentry
Adding trim is one of the most effective upgrades for Weymouth's mid-century homes, which were often built with simple casing and baseboard. We install crown molding, wainscoting, picture-frame molding, shiplap accent walls and new casing, and replace worn stair treads and railings. In older homes near the village centers, we match existing trim when only part of a house is being redone.
Staircases in Weymouth Capes are often steep and carpeted. Swapping the carpet for oak treads and painted risers, and adding a proper handrail and balusters, makes them safer and gives the entry a much more finished look. Paneled accent walls in living rooms and bedrooms are another popular upgrade.
Finish Carpentry detailsCabinetry & Storage
Kitchen remodels are common in Weymouth, and cabinet installation is where they come together. We install kitchen and bath cabinets, islands and panel-ready appliance surrounds, and build mudroom benches, built-in bookshelves, closet systems and pantry shelving. Capes with knee walls upstairs are great candidates for built-in drawers and cabinets that turn wasted space into storage.
Families in South Weymouth's newer subdivisions often ask for built-ins in finished basements, like a bar or media wall, while owners of older homes near the village squares usually want closet systems and pantry shelving that make small storage spaces work harder. Shelves are built to hold real weight.
Cabinetry & Storage detailsExterior Carpentry
Many Weymouth homes have decks and porches that were built decades ago and now need repair or replacement. We rebuild decks on frost-depth footings with flashed ledgers, build new front porches and entry landings, replace rotted trim, soffits and fascia, and build pergolas and fences. Homes near the water along Wessagusset Beach and the Back River benefit from coastal-grade fasteners and rot-resistant materials.
Cedar outdoor showers and pergolas are also popular additions to Weymouth backyards, giving summer patios shade and a place to rinse off after a day at the beach. Fence posts are set below the frost line so they stay straight.
Exterior Carpentry detailsDoors & Windows
We hang interior doors, install entry, storm and patio doors with proper flashing, reframe window openings and repair rotted sills and jambs. Many homeowners in Weymouth replace sliders with new patio doors when they rebuild a deck, and we can handle both parts of that project together.
Entry doors in older Weymouth homes often leak at the threshold because the original sill was never flashed. We remove the old unit, repair any rot in the framing below, install a sill pan and set the new door so water drains out instead of in. Then we trim it inside and out to match the house.
Doors & Windows detailsFlooring
We install solid and engineered hardwood flooring in Weymouth homes, from a single room to a whole floor. When carpet comes up in older Capes, the subfloor often needs to be refastened and leveled before new hardwood goes down. We also finish stair nosing and transitions so floors and stairs match.
In split-levels and raised ranches, short runs of stairs connect each level, so we match treads and nosing to the new floors for a consistent look throughout. Engineered hardwood is a good option for lower levels built partly below grade. Thresholds where hardwood meets tile are finished cleanly and kept flush.

Residential Carpentry Contractor in Weymouth, MA
Weymouth is one of the oldest towns in Massachusetts, and its four villages grew up separately, which is why housing styles vary so much from one part of town to another. Older homes cluster near Jackson Square, Columbian Square and Weymouth Landing, while post-war Capes, ranches and split-levels fill many residential streets, and newer construction has gone up in South Weymouth. Each type has its own carpentry needs, from matching old trim to adding space to a compact Cape. We adapt the work to the house.
Because Weymouth has so many Capes, ranches and split-levels, some of our most common projects here are adding a dormer for a new bedroom or bath, opening a kitchen to the family room, trimming out a finished basement and rebuilding an aging back deck. Each of these can transform a house without leaving the neighborhood you love.

Can you add a dormer to my Weymouth Cape?
