Crafting Richmond’s Premier Outdoor Spaces
Expert Exterior Carpentry powered by the quality of Everest’s Painting & Sons. From custom decks to stunning pergolas, we build structures that elevate your home.
The Everest Standard, Now in Carpentry.
You already know Everest’s Painting & Sons for our flawless finishes; now, we bring that same dedication to your home’s structure. Our exterior carpentry division was born from our clients’ need for high-quality construction that matches our premium paint work. We don’t just build decks; we create durable outdoor sanctuaries using the most reliable materials and the expert craftsmanship that has made our family name a Richmond staple.
Custom Deck Design & Build
A deck is more than just an addition; it’s an extension of your living room. We specialize in designing and building custom decks that maximize your outdoor square footage. Whether you prefer the natural beauty of pressure-treated Southern Yellow Pine or the low-maintenance luxury of premium composite materials like Trex or Azek, we ensure a rock-solid foundation. Our process includes soil assessment, structural framing according to local Richmond codes, and precision finishing that guarantees your deck remains level and beautiful for decades.
Pergolas & Architectural Shade Structures
Add a touch of architectural elegance to your backyard with a custom-built pergola or gazebo. Beyond providing essential shade during Virginia’s hot summers, our structures serve as a stunning focal point for entertainment. We use heavy-duty cedar and redwood known for their natural resistance to decay and insects. From classic open-slat designs to modern structures with retractable canopies or integrated lighting, each piece is handcrafted with joinery that is as strong as it is visually striking.
Comprehensive Porch & Balcony Restoration
Old porches often hide structural issues like wood rot or joist failure. Our restoration service goes beyond the surface. As a division of Everest’s Painting & Sons, we inspect the core of your porch to ensure it is structurally sound before applying the finishing touches. We specialize in installing tongue-and-groove flooring, custom-turned balusters, and structural columns that honor the historic charm of Richmond homes while providing modern safety and durability.
Custom Fencing, Gates & Exterior Trim
Define your property with craftsmanship that stands out from the neighbors. We don’t install “pre-built” panels from big-box stores. Every fence we build is stick-built on-site, ensuring it perfectly follows the contour of your land with no unsightly gaps. From contemporary horizontal slat privacy fences to decorative picket styles and heavy-duty custom gates, we focus on post-depth and high-quality hardware to prevent sagging and ensure your investment remains straight and secure for years to come.
Why Choose Us
🏠 A Legacy of Quality & Professional Integrity
When you hire our carpentry division, you aren’t just getting a construction crew; you are gaining the peace of mind that comes with the Everest’s Painting & Sons reputation. We bring decades of experience in high-end home services to every build. This means we uphold the highest standards of job-site cleanliness, strict punctuality, and clear, honest communication. We treat your property with the same respect we would our own, ensuring that the construction process is as seamless and stress-free as the final result.
🛡️ Engineered for the Virginia Climate
Virginia’s weather can be brutal on exterior woodwork—from humid, sweltering summers to freezing, wet winters. We don’t just build for today; we build for the decade. Our team utilizes advanced moisture-management techniques, including the use of flashing tapes on joists, stainless steel fasteners to prevent “bleeding” rust, and premium pressure-treated or rot-resistant hardwoods. By understanding the science of wood expansion and contraction, we prevent the common issues of warping, splitting, and structural decay that plague lesser builds.
🎨 True Turnkey Solutions: From Frame to Finish
The biggest challenge with most carpentry projects is finding a painter once the builder is done. At Everest’s, we provide a seamless, all-in-one experience. Because of our roots in professional painting and staining, we don’t consider a project finished until it is perfectly protected and aesthetically complete. We handle the structural framing, the fine carpentry, and the final premium staining or painting. This “Turnkey” approach ensures that your wood is sealed at the optimal time, providing a cohesive look and a single point of accountability for your entire project.
📐 Localized Expertise & Safety Standards
As local Richmond craftsmen, we are intimately familiar with Virginia building codes and permitting requirements. We don’t cut corners on structural integrity. From proper post-depth to ensure frost-line protection to precision-engineered load-bearing beams, every deck, pergola, and porch we build is designed to be safe for your family and guests. We provide a level of structural craftsmanship that not only looks beautiful but adds genuine, documented value to your home’s equity.
