Carpentry is where a house stops feeling builder-grade and starts feeling like yours. At RHM Contracting, we handle the full range of it — from a single stuck door or a run of crown molding to built-in shelving, framing, and a new deck off the back of the house. The common thread is clean lines, tight joints, and woodwork that matches what's already there instead of fighting it.

We've been swinging hammers in Charlotte for 30 years, and most carpentry calls fall into one of two buckets: the finish work that makes a room look finished, and the structural and repair work that keeps it sound. We handle both — framing a wall, then coming back to case the windows and run the baseboard so the rough work and the finish trim line up cleanly.

RHM is family-run and locally based, and a real carpenter shows up to your estimate — not a salesperson. We're licensed and insured, we measure twice, and we treat your home like we'd want ours treated: drop cloths down, cuts made outside or contained, and the site swept before we leave.

How It Works

1

Walkthrough & estimate

A carpenter visits, looks at the work, talks through your goals, and gives you a clear written estimate with no guesswork.
2

Measure & material

We take exact measurements and help you pick wood and trim profiles that match your existing woodwork and budget.
3

Build & install

We frame, cut, fit, and fasten on site — checking fit as we go so joints stay tight and lines stay true.

Final walkthrough & cleanup

We walk the finished work with you, touch up anything that needs it, and leave the site swept and clear.

Local to Charlotte & Ballantyne

From the older homes around SouthPark to the newer construction in Ballantyne, houses here ask for very different carpentry — and we've worked on both for three decades. Whether you're matching original trim in an established neighborhood or finishing out a bonus room in a newer build, RHM Contracting brings the same eye for fit and detail, plus a crew that knows the area and shows up when we say we will.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you match the trim and molding I already have?

In most cases, yes. We identify your existing trim profiles and source or mill matching stock so new baseboard, casing, and crown blend in instead of standing out. If an exact match isn't made anymore, we'll show you the closest options before we order anything.

Do you handle both finish carpentry and rough framing?

We do. We'll frame a wall, closet, or small addition and then handle the finish work — doors, trim, and casing — so the same crew carries the room from studs to final detail.

My deck and exterior trim have soft, rotted spots. Can that be repaired or does it all need replacing?

It depends on how far the rot has spread. Often we can cut out and replace the damaged boards, fascia, or trim and seal the rest. If the structure underneath is compromised, we'll let you know and walk you through what a fuller repair looks like.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. RHM Contracting is licensed and insured, so your home and our crew are covered while we work.
