Serving Kermit and nearby WV communities
Kermit's houses sit close together on a narrow flat by the Tug Fork, and they have taken water more than once. For door and window work that means two constraints: not much room to manoeuvre a unit, and no safe assumption about the framing around the opening.
We'll reach out to schedule a look.

Had them out after the back steps started going soft underfoot. He came and looked properly before quoting anything, and told me the structure underneath was still sound — so it ended up a smaller job than I had braced myself for. Turned up when he said he would, cleaned up after himself, and the price at the end was the price we agreed. Not much more you can ask for.

Called on a Tuesday and had someone out the same week. What I appreciated most was being told straight what needed doing now and what could safely wait until spring. No pressure and no trying to talk me into the bigger version of the job. It has held up fine through the winter since.

The quote came through itemised and the final bill matched it, which has honestly not been my experience with everyone around here. They worked around an awkward driveway without once making it my problem, and left the place tidier than they found it. Would have them back.

Fair price, showed up on time, tidy work. No complaints.
Send a few photos and we'll tell you what it'll take — free written quote, no pressure.
On a house with this town's flood history, the framing around an opening is an unknown until it is exposed. Water that got into a wall decades ago has been working on the studs, headers and sills around openings ever since, out of sight and well below the level anyone inspects.

From first call to finished work — no surprises in between.
Step 1
Call, text, or send a message with what you're looking to build or repair. No form to fill in and no call centre — it comes straight to us, and you'll get a real answer about whether it's something we do.
Step 2
A few photos are often enough to tell us what we're dealing with. Where it isn't — anything structural, anything hidden underneath — we'll come out and look properly before quoting rather than guessing from the kerb.
Step 3
You get a written quote that itemises the work, so you can see what you're paying for and what you aren't. If we think part of it isn't worth doing, we'll say so. No pressure and no surprises at the end.
Step 4
We turn up when we said we would, work clean, and haul the offcuts away with us. The job gets built to last in this climate — and we'll walk it with you before we call it finished.
We'll come and look, then tell you straight — including if it isn't worth doing.
Straight answers to what we get asked most.
Not usually to quote it, but on a house with flood history we will tell you plainly that the framing around the opening is an unknown until the old unit comes out. We price that as a possibility rather than pretending it is not one.
Most often because it went into framing that had lost its integrity, so there was nothing holding the unit square. The window is rarely the problem — the opening is.
Yes. Access is the planning problem rather than the work — either from outside on a street with nowhere to set up, or through the house. We will look at it before quoting so the day is planned.
No. We stay on the West Virginia side — that is a licensing matter, not a distance one. Kermit itself is well inside the area we cover.
No. We stay on the West Virginia side — that's a licensing matter, not a distance one. Kermit itself is well inside the area we cover.
Yes. Flood damage in framing is biological, not immediate — the wetting starts rot that works through joist ends and post bottoms over years. The floor above it can feel solid the whole time.
No, it's normal in town here. It affects staging and carry time, which we allow for in the quote.

The full picture
Most people are buying a result, not a list of tasks. Pick a topic to see what we look at before quoting in Kermit.
So we allow for finding something and we say so at the quote. A new unit fitted into compromised framing has nothing to hold it square, and it will move — which shows up as a window that will not sit right, usually within a year or two.
Where the framing is sound the install is ordinary. Where it is not, that gets put right first, and we price it as a possibility rather than pretending it is not one.
Lots sit close to the street with limited parking and not much room between buildings. Getting a large unit to the back of a house, or to an upstairs opening, is frequently the hardest part of the day rather than the fitting.
Upper-floor windows are the case that comes up most. Access is from outside on a street with nowhere to set up, or from inside through a house people are living in, and either way it takes planning rather than improvisation.
None of that changes the carpentry or its price. It changes the day, and we would rather have it in the quote than in a conversation on the morning.
It is about thirty minutes from Williamson on US-52 along the Tug Fork and the drive is easy. What we plan for is the staging and making sure the units and the material are right before we leave, because sending someone back is half a day.
We stay on the West Virginia side of the river — a licensing matter rather than a distance one. Kermit is comfortably inside the area we cover.
Kermit is a small town on a narrow flat right against the Tug Fork, and the housing is packed onto what level ground there is — older wood-framed homes, close together, most on block or pier foundations with covered porches as standard. There is not much room between houses and not much room behind them, so additions here tend to go up or onto the porch rather than out the back.
The Tug Fork is the whole story in Kermit. The town sits low against the river and has taken water repeatedly, and what that leaves behind is rot in the parts of a house nobody inspects — sill plates, the ends of floor joists where they bear, post bottoms, and the base of exterior door frames. It shows up long after the water is gone, which is why a floor that feels sound is not evidence of much.
About thirty minutes from Williamson up US-52 along the river, and the drive itself is easy. Working in town is the tighter part: lots sit close to the street with limited parking, so material gets carried and there is often nowhere to leave a trailer. We plan the day around that rather than treating it as a surprise.
