About Chattaroy
Chattaroy is in Mingo County, roughly 10 minutes from our Williamson base via US-119 north along the Tug Fork.
Homes around here
Chattaroy is strung along the bottom between the Tug Fork and the hillside, and the housing reflects that — wood-framed homes built on the flat wherever there was room, a lot of it former coal-camp stock that has been added onto over the years rather than replaced. Porches, rear additions, and enclosed back rooms are common, and they were often framed by different hands at different times. That matters more than it sounds: the additions are usually where the framing and the water problems meet.
What we see locally
There is very little ground here that is not close to the river. Properties on the flat have taken Tug Fork water more than once, and the ones tucked against the hill take runoff instead, so the exposure is different but the result is the same — framing that stays wet. The failures we find are concentrated low: sill plates, joist ends, post bottoms, and the sole plates in additions that were built without much of a moisture break underneath.

How It Works
From first call to finished work — no surprises in between.
-
Step 1
Tell us about the project
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
Send photos or schedule a look
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
Get a clear quote
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 build it right
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.
Carpentry in Chattaroy — common questions
Answers specific to working in Chattaroy.
Is Chattaroy too small a job for you to come out?
No, and it's the one place where that's least likely to be a problem. We're about ten minutes away, so small repairs here don't carry the travel cost that makes them awkward further out.
My back addition is the part that's failing. Is that normal?
It's the most common thing we find in Chattaroy. Additions here were frequently built onto the original house over time, and the joint between old and new is usually where water gets in and framing gives up first.
The house has flooded before. Does that change the repair?
It changes what we check, not what we can do. We probe the low framing rather than judging by what the floor feels like, because flood rot shows up years later and well below where anyone is looking.
