Serving Chattaroy and nearby WV communities
Nearly every house in Chattaroy has one room that has quietly become the storage room — usually a back addition or an enclosed porch. Turning that room from a pile into a system is the most useful day's work available in most of these houses.
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.
It starts as somewhere to put things temporarily and ends up as the room nobody opens. The contents are usually fine; the problem is that everything is at floor level in a stack, so the room holds a fraction of what it could and nothing in it can be found.

What you get when Mackwood does your shelving & storage — 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.
One wall, floor to ceiling. The same contents go up the wall, the floor comes back, and the room becomes usable for something else too. It is a day's work in most of these rooms.
For durable, seasonal and bulky things, yes. These rooms run close to outside temperature, so paint that must not freeze, electronics and adhesives are better kept in the heated part of the house.
Only if you want it to. Painted plywood with a solid front edge, fixed into framing, at heights that suit your things, is strong and cheap. That is most of what we build for these rooms.
Easily, and Chattaroy is the best place for it — ten minutes from base, so a half-day visit costs what a half-day should.
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.
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.
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.
We handle shelving & storage across Williamson and the surrounding West Virginia communities.
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 Chattaroy.
Shelving one or two walls floor to ceiling changes that completely. The same contents go up the walls, the floor comes back, and the room becomes usable for something else as well as storage.
It is cheap work because none of it has to look like furniture. Painted plywood with a solid front edge, shelves at the heights your things need, fixed into framing.
A converted porch or a back addition is usually the least insulated room in the building, often over an open crawl, and it can run close to outside temperature in winter. That matters for what gets stored there.
Anything that objects to cold or to swinging humidity — paint that must not freeze, electronics, adhesives, some foods — is better kept elsewhere, and it is worth knowing before the room becomes the default for everything.
Storage that suits these rooms is the durable, seasonal, bulky end of things. That is not a small category and it is exactly the stuff clogging the rooms people do live in.
Shelving one wall this month and another later is a normal way to do this, and being ten minutes from Williamson makes it practical. There is very little travel in the price, so a half-day is a half-day.
It also means we can come and look before quoting, which on a room full of things is genuinely useful — what gets stored decides the spacings, and that is easier to see than to describe.
If a few small storage jobs have been on the list for a while, doing them in one visit is cheaper than one at a time.
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.
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.
Chattaroy is the closest town on our list — about ten minutes from Williamson. That changes the economics of small work more than anything else here. A half-day repair that would be marginal an hour out is a straightforward job in Chattaroy, and we can come back for a second look or a forgotten piece of material without it costing the day.
