Ellerslie sits in the red clay hills of Harris County, where humidity, heavy rain, and pine trees create a perfect storm for wood damage. Our team at Columbus Carpentry has been repairing rotted decks, fascia, and structural framing in Ellerslie and the surrounding Columbus area since 2016.
Rural homes in ZIP 31807 face a particular challenge: the combination of eastern subterranean termites working year-round through sills and crawl spaces, moisture from summer thunderstorms and tropical storm remnants, and carpenter bees drilling into exposed trim. When a homeowner in Ellerslie discovers soft wood in a porch frame, a bouncy floor, or termite damage after a pest inspection, they call us because we explain what happened, price the work honestly, and repair or replace the wood with the same crew from start to finish.
Carpentry in Ellerslie (31807)
Ellerslie's rural residential properties sit on sloped terrain with variable drainage and deep shade from loblolly pines and water oaks. Most homes are frame construction with wood siding, wood trim, and wood decks or porches. The long hot humid summers, heavy thunderstorms, and occasional tropical storm remnants mean that fascia, soffit, deck frames, and floor joists are under constant moisture stress. Termites work year-round in the crawl spaces and sill plates. Carpenter bees drill into exposed trim and rafter tails. When a pine limb falls in a storm, it often lands on a porch or deck structure. We see a lot of wood rot in fascia and soffit, termite damage in rim joists and floor joists, and water damage in deck substructure.
We have been serving Ellerslie and the Columbus area since 2016. Our team handles the structural carpentry that keeps a home sound, the finish carpentry that makes it look right, and the emergency repairs that come after a storm or a pest inspection. We are fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage.

How a Job Works in Ellerslie
We start with a free on-site assessment. You describe what you have noticed, we walk the property, and we explain what we see. If it is wood rot in a deck joist, we probe the wood to find the extent of the damage. If it is termite damage found after a pest inspection, we work from your inspection report and assess what structural members need repair or replacement. If it is storm damage, we document what happened and help you think through whether the damage is covered by insurance. We give you a clear estimate with no surprises.
Once you approve the work, our crew shows up and does it. For structural jobs like floor joist replacement or beam work, we may need to coordinate with Harris County building department regarding permits. For deck or porch repair, we work around your property access and lot layout. We remove the damaged wood, sister new framing where repair is sound, or replace members where the wood is too far gone. We install new fascia, soffit, trim, or deck boards to match the existing stock as closely as possible. We clean up every day and leave your property ready to use.
At the end, we walk through the finished work with you, answer questions, and explain the warranty on our labor. We leave the site clean.
Pricing for common Ellerslie carpentry jobs reflects the scope of the work, the access to the site, the condition of the wood we find once we open it up, and the materials we use. A wood rot repair in fascia or soffit might start at $700. A deck or porch repair with structural damage typically runs from $900 to $2,500 depending on how many joists or beams need work. A floor joist repair with subfloor replacement often runs $1,800 or more if the damage is widespread. Termite damage repair often requires replacement of sill plates, rim joists, and floor framing, and can range from $1,200 to $5,000 or more on a larger home. Finish carpentry like trim installation, crown molding, or interior doors starts much lower, from $350 to $550 for a single door or small trim job.
