Serving Kermit and nearby WV communities
Kermit sits low against the Tug Fork on a narrow flat, and trim here has a job beyond looking right: it is the first place a house tells you what the framing underneath has been doing.
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.
In a house this close to the river, the failures that matter start low and out of sight — sill plates, joist ends where they bear, and the bottoms of exterior door frames. None of that is visible. What is visible is a baseboard that has pulled away from the wall at one end, a door that has stopped latching, or a casing joint that has opened since last year.

What you get when Mackwood does your interior trim — and what we won't do.

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.
Sometimes, and sometimes it is the house telling you something moved. In a town this low against the river it is worth asking which before re-cutting trim. Often the movement is old and finished, and then the trim work is exactly the job.
We would not. New casing over a soft jamb hides it for about a season. The jamb comes first, then the casing, and if the opening has moved that gets sorted before either.
No — West Virginia only, and that is a licensing matter rather than a distance one. Kermit itself is well inside our area, about thirty minutes from Williamson.
Not much for trim. Material carries in by hand as long lengths and gets cut in the room, so it is one of the easier jobs to stage in town here.
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.
Those are movement signals rather than trim faults, and re-cutting the trim without asking what moved is money spent on a symptom. That is the conversation we would rather have at the quote.
Often the answer is genuinely reassuring — an old settlement that finished moving decades ago, in which case the trim work is exactly the job. Sometimes it is not, and it is better to know.
Exterior door frames in Kermit take more than their share. The base of the jamb sits closest to the ground, gets wet from outside and condensation from inside, and is usually the softest wood in the house before anything else has visibly gone.
Replacing the casing over a jamb that is soft at the bottom hides the problem and lasts about a season. The right sequence is jamb first, then casing, and if the frame is out of square because the opening moved, that gets addressed before either.
Interior doors that stick or swing open on their own tell you the same story more quietly, and they are worth mentioning when we come out.
Kermit is packed onto what level ground there is. Lots sit close to the street, parking is limited, and there is frequently nowhere to leave a trailer, so material gets carried in.
Trim suits that better than most work. Long stock carries in by hand and gets cut in the room, and there is no sheet material or heavy plant involved.
It is about thirty minutes from Williamson up US-52 along the river. We work the West Virginia side only — that is a licensing matter rather than a distance one — and 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.
