Step 01

Exterior carpentry that survives a Maine winter

Freeze-thaw cycles, wind-driven rain, and ice damming are what actually destroy exterior wood here — not age. Rot starts small and predictable: trim boards, window and door sills, stair stringers, deck ledgers. Caught as carpentry it is a scheduled repair; caught a season later it is framing and structural work at several times the cost. We cut back to sound material and replace with properly flashed, primed, and back-primed stock rather than caulking over a failure that will reopen next spring.

Step 02

Decks, porches and railings built to be safe

On condo, HOA, and multi-family property, a loose railing or a rotted stair tread is a liability exposure before it is a maintenance item. We rebuild with correct ledger attachment and flashing, proper fasteners, and sound guards and balusters. We can also walk an entire community, document every deck and landing by condition, and prioritize the list so a board can budget the work across two or three seasons instead of absorbing it all at once.

Step 03

Unit turnovers on a turnover schedule

A vacant unit costs money every day it is not rentable, so the schedule is the scope. Drywall repair, paint, door and trim replacement, flooring transitions, cabinet and hardware fixes, punch-list items — handled in one pass by one crew. We work to the date the unit needs to be back on market, not to whenever we get to it.

Step 04

One contractor for the whole property

The company already handling your grounds, mulch, snow, and lot sweeping now handles the building envelope and the interiors. That means fewer vendors on site, fewer certificates of insurance to chase down, one invoice stream, and a crew that already knows the property, the access points, and who to call on your team. Scopes and proposals come in writing before work starts, and completed work is documented so you have something to hand the board or the owner.

A division of Robbins Property Services

RPS Carpentry & Remodeling

The carpentry division brings the building itself under the same agreement that already covers the grounds — exterior repairs, unit turnovers, and full remodels handled by one licensed, insured crew with one point of contact.

One vendor for the whole property

Carpentry is one line on a bigger contract.

Most of the properties we build and repair on are properties we already maintain. Adding the building to the same agreement means fewer vendors, fewer certificates of insurance to chase, and one crew that already knows the site.

Common questions

Quick answers

What does RPS Carpentry & Remodeling do?+

Eight core services: decks and porches, rot repair, siding and trim, doors and windows, interior carpentry, remodeling, drywall and painting, and handyman services. That covers everything from a single handyman punch-list visit to a full unit remodel, for commercial buildings, condo and HOA communities, and multi-family property across Greater Portland.

Do you work with property management companies and HOAs?+

Yes — both recurring maintenance and one-off projects. Certificates of insurance are issued automatically for commercial accounts, scopes and proposals come in writing so they can be attached to a board packet, and we are used to working around approval timelines rather than expecting a same-week decision.

Can you repair rot without replacing the whole structure?+

Often, yes — it depends on whether the water has reached structural framing or stopped at trim and sheathing. We open up the affected area first, show you what is behind it, and tell you honestly which situation it is before we quote. You get a repair price or a rebuild price based on what is actually there.

How fast can you turn a vacant unit?+

It depends entirely on scope — a cosmetic turnover with drywall patching, paint, trim and door work is a different job from one with flooring and cabinetry. What keeps a turnover short is scheduling it in advance. Tell us the date the unit needs to be rentable and we build the schedule backward from it.

Are you licensed and insured for commercial work?+

Yes. Robbins Property Services is fully licensed and insured, and certificates of insurance are provided automatically for commercial accounts and community associations — you should not have to request one before every project.

Do you handle both the grounds and the building?+

Yes, and that is the point of adding this division. Landscaping, lawn care, snow and ice management, parking lot sweeping, and now carpentry and remodeling can sit under one contract with one point of contact instead of four separate vendors for the same property.
