You’re tired of trim that gaps, cabinets that sag, and “fixes” that need fixing again in six months. When carpentry is done right the first time, your home functions the way it should.
No more doors that stick or shelves that bow under normal use. No more explaining to guests why that corner doesn’t quite line up. Just solid, precise work that handles daily life without drama.
The difference shows in how your space feels. Everything fits. Everything works. And you can stop thinking about what needs to be repaired next because it’s already built to last.
Jaguar Renovations has been handling interior carpentry projects across Suffolk County since 2015. We focus on the work, not the sales pitch.
What sets us apart in East Islip is straightforward: no hidden costs, no pressure tactics, and no cutting corners to hit a price point. We bid the job properly from the start, show up when we say we will, and finish what we start.
Our approach works because we understand that East Islip homeowners have seen enough contractors who overpromise and underdeliver. Instead, we let the quality of our work speak for itself.
First, we come out to see what you’re dealing with. No guessing from photos or phone descriptions. We measure, assess the existing conditions, and give you a clear picture of what the project actually involves.
Next comes the straightforward estimate. We break down materials, labor, and timeline so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprise charges or “unforeseen complications” that somehow always cost extra.
Then we do the work. We show up on schedule, clean up daily, and keep you informed about progress. When we’re done, everything functions properly and looks like it was built that way from the beginning.

Jaguar Renovations handles the full range of interior carpentry work that East Islip homes typically need. Custom built-ins that maximize your space efficiently. Finish carpentry like crown molding, baseboards, and trim work that actually lines up at the corners.
Kitchen and bathroom renovations get particular attention because these rooms take the most daily wear. We understand how Suffolk County’s humidity affects wood movement and plan accordingly. Cabinet installation, countertop support, and custom storage solutions are built to handle real use, not just look good in photos.
For East Islip’s older homes, we know how to work with existing structures that aren’t perfectly square or level. We can match existing woodwork styles or update them cleanly without making the rest of the house look dated.
Carpentry costs depend on the scope of work, materials selected, and complexity of the project. Simple trim work might run $40-80 per hour, while custom built-ins or kitchen renovations involve project pricing based on specifications.
Jaguar Renovations provides detailed estimates that break down materials and labor costs upfront. We don’t use hourly billing for larger projects because it creates uncertainty about final costs. Instead, you get a clear project price that covers everything needed to complete the work properly.
The key is getting an accurate assessment from the start. Many East Islip homeowners have been burned by low initial estimates that balloon once work begins. We avoid this by thoroughly evaluating existing conditions and being honest about what the project actually requires.
Yes, we regularly work on East Islip’s older homes, many of which were built in the 1950s and 1960s. These homes often need updates to trim, built-ins, and structural carpentry that has loosened or worn over decades.
The challenge with older homes is working with existing framing that may not be perfectly square or level by modern standards. We know how to scribe trim to fit irregular walls, reinforce sagging structures, and blend new work with existing details so everything looks intentional.
Common repairs include fixing sticking doors, replacing rotted window trim, updating outdated built-ins, and reinforcing kitchen cabinets. We can also modernize older carpentry while maintaining the home’s original character, which many East Islip homeowners prefer over complete replacement.
Timeline depends on project scope and current scheduling. Simple repairs or trim installation might take 1-3 days. Custom built-ins or kitchen carpentry usually requires 1-2 weeks. Larger renovations can run 3-4 weeks depending on complexity.
We provide realistic timelines upfront and stick to them. Part of this comes from proper planning and having materials ordered and delivered on schedule. We don’t start projects until everything needed is on-site and ready.
Weather rarely affects interior carpentry work, but material delivery delays can push timelines back. We communicate any scheduling changes immediately and work with you to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Most East Islip homeowners appreciate knowing what to expect rather than getting vague promises about completion dates.
We select materials based on the specific application and your preferences. For trim and finish work, we typically use paint-grade pine or MDF for painted applications, and oak, maple, or cherry for stained work.
For structural applications like built-ins and cabinets, we use plywood or solid wood depending on the design requirements. We avoid particle board and other engineered materials that don’t hold up well in Suffolk County’s humid climate.
Material selection also considers your budget and the home’s existing finishes. We can match existing wood species and stains, or recommend alternatives that provide better durability or cost savings. All materials are sourced from local suppliers when possible to ensure availability and reduce project delays.
Yes, Jaguar Renovations is fully licensed and insured for carpentry and general contracting work throughout Suffolk County. We carry both liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage.
Our license covers all the carpentry services we provide, from simple repairs to complex renovations. This protects you from liability if accidents occur and ensures the work meets local building codes and requirements.
We can provide proof of insurance and licensing before starting any project. Many East Islip homeowners have learned the importance of working only with properly licensed contractors after hearing about problems with unlicensed workers who leave homeowners liable for accidents or code violations.
Yes, all carpentry work comes with a comprehensive warranty that covers both materials and workmanship. The specific warranty period depends on the type of work performed, but typically ranges from one to three years.
This warranty covers defects in workmanship, material failures, and any issues that arise from normal use. It doesn’t cover damage from accidents, modifications by other contractors, or normal wear and tear beyond reasonable expectations.
We stand behind our work because we build everything to last from the beginning. Most warranty calls are minor adjustments that are handled quickly at no charge. The goal is ensuring you’re completely satisfied with how everything functions and looks long after the project is complete.
