Collierville's fast-growing subdivisions and the historic Town Square district are full of homes that need solid carpentry work as they finish out or age into their second life. We're Memphis Carpentry, and we've been doing residential carpentry in Collierville (38017) and across the Memphis area since 2016.

When a homeowner in Collierville calls us, it's usually because a floor has gone soft, wood rot has shown up in a porch beam or fascia, or they want fresh cabinet and trim work to match the neighborhood's mix of newer vinyl-sided colonials and the older brick cottages around the Square. We show up on time, explain what we see, and give you a straight price for the fix.

Carpentry in Collierville (38017)

Collierville sits on the rolling loess bluffs east of Memphis, with good drainage on most lots but flat spots and clay pockets where water can linger. The newer subdivisions have two-story vinyl and fiber-cement-sided homes on standard grade, while properties near the Town Square often sit on older brick pier foundations with deeper porches and tighter lot lines. Both kinds of homes need different repair approaches. A vinyl-sided colonial in a newer development might have a rim joist or sill plate that's taken on moisture from poor grading or a clogged gutter. An older home near the Square might have deeper structural issues in the sill or floor joists where the brick piers have settled slightly over decades.

We've served Collierville and the Memphis area since 2016. Our team does the work ourselves, not through a franchise crew that rotates in and out. That means we know what we're looking at when we walk your property, and we can explain whether a repair is solid or whether replacement makes the honest choice.

How a Job Works in Collierville

You call us at (901) 590-1502 or reach out online. We schedule a free on-site assessment, usually within a few days. We walk your property, look at the damage or the work you want done, take photos and measurements, and talk through what we see. No pressure, no sales pitch. We give you a clear estimate and answer your questions right there.

Once you're ready, we schedule the work. For bigger jobs like beam replacement or a load-bearing wall alteration, we'll help you understand whether a permit is needed. Collierville and Shelby County have their own rules, and we'll guide you to check with the local building department so you know what applies to your property. We handle the carpentry itself, and we coordinate with you if an inspector needs to visit. For finish work like cabinet installation or crown molding, we work around your schedule and make sure the fit is tight and the joints are clean.

When we're done, we clean up the site, haul away the debris, and do a final walkthrough with you. Your property is left the way we found it, minus the damage we fixed.

Pricing in Collierville depends on the scope and what we find when we look. A finish carpentry job like crown molding or baseboard installation starts around $450 to $550, depending on the linear footage and the profile you choose. Cabinet and vanity installation runs from $1,100 and up, with the cost driven by the number of units, the finish, and how much scribing we need to do to fit your walls. Wood rot repair in a porch beam or sill plate starts at $650 if it's small and localized, but if the rot has spread into the floor joist or subfloor, you're looking at $1,800 or more for a proper repair that includes sister joists or subfloor replacement. Termite damage repair starts at $1,200, and beam replacement or structural framing work starts at $2,500 to $3,500 depending on the span and the load. The biggest cost factors are the size of the damaged area, how easy it is to access, what the wood underneath looks like, and whether permits are required. Call us at (901) 590-1502 for a free estimate. We'll give you a realistic ballpark figure and explain what drives the cost.

✅ EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm, fully insured for work in Collierville and nearby areas.

We live in one of the newer subdivisions near Byhalia Road. Is wood rot common in these newer homes?

Not as common as in older homes, but it does happen. The vinyl and fiber-cement siding on newer colonials can trap moisture if gutters are clogged or grading is poor. The rim joist and sill plate are the most vulnerable spots. We often see rot creeping in where a downspout dumps water too close to the foundation, or where a deck ledger board wasn't flashed properly. If you notice soft spots on the rim or a mushy spot on the sill, call us for a look. Catching it early keeps the repair cost down.

We had a termite inspection done and the report flagged damage in a floor joist. What do we do now?

Bring the inspection report to your first meeting with us. We'll assess the damage, explain how much of the joist is sound and how much needs to be replaced or sistered, and give you a repair estimate. Pest control is a separate trade, so we work from your inspector's findings and repair the wood damage itself. Floor joist repair usually starts around $1,800, but the final price depends on how far the damage extends and whether we need to sister in new framing or replace the joist entirely. Call (901) 590-1502 to schedule an assessment.

How much does it cost to install new cabinets and vanities in a Collierville bathroom or kitchen?

Cabinet and vanity installation starts at $1,100 and goes up from there. The cost depends on how many units you're installing, the complexity of the layout, whether we need to do any scribing to fit uneven walls, and the finish. A single vanity in a bathroom might run $1,100 to $1,500. A full kitchen with multiple base and wall cabinets could be $3,000 to $5,000 or more. We're fully insured for this work, and we make sure every joint is tight and every door and drawer hangs straight. Get a free estimate at (901) 590-1502.

Do we need a permit for the work we want done in Collierville?

It depends on the scope. Finish carpentry like trim, crown molding, and cabinet installation usually don't require a permit. Structural work like removing or altering a load-bearing wall, replacing beams or floor joists, or building a new deck does require a permit in most cases. Collierville and Shelby County have their own rules, so we recommend you contact your local building department to verify what applies to your project before you start. We can help explain the work to your inspector and coordinate the inspection schedule if needed.

We're in an HOA community near the Town Square. Does the HOA have to approve our carpentry work?

Many HOA communities in Collierville do require approval for exterior work, especially deck repair, fascia and soffit replacement, and door installation. Interior work like cabinet installation or finish carpentry usually doesn't need approval, but check your HOA rules first. If your project needs HOA sign-off, we can help you document the work and coordinate the approval process. Property line issues are between you and your neighbor, and we can help you understand what work falls on your side of the line, but any dispute is something you'll need to resolve directly.

Are you insured for this work?

Yes. We're fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. If an accident happens on your property, our insurance covers it. We also carry EPA Lead-Safe Certification for any work on older homes that may have lead paint, so you know we're handling that risk properly. When you call for an estimate, we'll show you proof of coverage.

What's the best time of year to get carpentry work done in Collierville?

Fall and early spring are ideal. The weather is mild, and moisture levels are more stable, which means wood finishes cure better and joints set more reliably. Summer heat can speed drying in some cases, but humidity spikes can cause problems with stain and finish. Winter is workable, but cold and wet weather can slow curing times and make site conditions harder. If you have damage like wood rot or termite damage, don't wait for the perfect season. The longer rot sits, the more it spreads, and it costs more to fix. Call us at (901) 590-1502 to get a look and a plan.
