When your carpentry project is finished, you’ll have woodwork that looks like it was always part of your home. No gaps, no settling, no callbacks six months later because something wasn’t done right the first time.
You get custom solutions that fit your space perfectly. Whether it’s built-ins that maximize your storage, trim work that frames your rooms beautifully, or repairs that blend seamlessly with existing woodwork.
The difference shows in details most contractors skip. Tight joints, smooth finishes, and measurements that are exact – not “close enough.”
Jaguar Renovations has been serving Islip Terrace and Suffolk County homeowners for almost ten years. We understand the unique challenges of working with homes built in the 1940s-60s that make up most of this area.
Local building codes, coastal weather considerations, and the architectural details that give these homes their character – we know what works and what doesn’t. No learning on your job site.
As a licensed and insured contractor, we handle everything from permits to final cleanup, so you don’t have to coordinate multiple vendors or worry about compliance issues.
First, we come to your home to understand exactly what you need. You’ll get honest feedback about what’s realistic for your space and budget, not a sales pitch designed to maximize our profit.
Once you approve the plan, we handle permits and scheduling. Most projects start within 1-2 weeks of approval because we don’t overbook ourselves like larger companies do.
During the work, you’ll get regular updates without having to chase anyone down. We clean up daily and protect your belongings because we understand this is your home, not just another job site.

Our carpentry services cover everything from small repairs to complete custom installations. Trim work, built-in cabinets, finish carpentry, structural repairs, and custom storage solutions.
In Islip Terrace’s housing market, where homes average over $650,000, your carpentry work needs to match that level of quality. We use proper techniques and quality materials that hold up to Suffolk County’s coastal conditions.
Whether you’re updating a 1950s Cape Cod or adding custom features to a newer home, we approach every project with the same attention to detail. Your investment in quality carpentry should add value to your home, not create future problems.
Most carpentry projects in Islip Terrace take 3-10 days depending on scope and complexity. Simple repairs or trim work might be completed in a day or two, while custom built-ins or multiple room projects typically require a week or more.
Timeline depends on several factors: the extent of custom work needed, whether permits are required, and material availability. Unlike contractors who juggle multiple jobs simultaneously, we focus on your project until completion.
We provide realistic timelines upfront and stick to them. No disappearing for days at a time or stretching a 3-day job into 3 weeks because we’re bouncing between multiple clients.
Suffolk County’s coastal location creates unique challenges for woodwork. High humidity, salt air, and temperature fluctuations can cause poorly installed carpentry to warp, gap, or fail prematurely.
Quality carpentry starts with proper material selection and moisture considerations. Using the right wood species, proper sealing techniques, and allowing for seasonal movement prevent the problems you see with rushed installations.
Installation technique matters just as much as materials. Proper fastening, adequate clearances, and understanding how different woods behave in coastal conditions – these details separate work that lasts from work that fails within a few years.
Yes, we handle all necessary permits for carpentry projects in Islip Terrace. As a licensed Suffolk County contractor, we understand local building codes and permit requirements.
Most finish carpentry and repair work doesn’t require permits, but structural changes, built-ins that affect electrical or plumbing, and certain custom installations do. We evaluate your project and handle the paperwork so you don’t have to navigate the permit process yourself.
Having permits handled properly protects you during future home sales and ensures the work meets local codes. It’s one less thing you need to worry about when you hire a properly licensed contractor.
Pricing is based on the actual scope of work, materials needed, and time required – not inflated estimates designed to maximize profit. You’ll get a detailed breakdown of what’s included so there are no surprises.
We don’t use high-pressure sales tactics or artificial urgency to push you into decisions. Take time to review the estimate, ask questions, and compare if you want to. Good work speaks for itself.
“Excellence Built In, Extra Cost Left Out” means you pay for quality craftsmanship and fair labor rates, not inflated overhead or unnecessary add-ons. Transparent pricing from contractors who understand the value of repeat customers and referrals.
Matching existing woodwork in Islip Terrace’s older homes requires experience with period construction methods and materials. Many homes here were built in the 1940s-60s with specific millwork profiles and wood species that aren’t standard today.
We can replicate existing trim profiles, match wood species and stains, and blend new work seamlessly with original carpentry. This often requires custom millwork or hand-shaping pieces to match what’s already there.
The key is understanding how these homes were originally built and having the skills to work with both modern materials and traditional techniques. Not every carpenter has experience with this level of matching work.
All carpentry work comes with a comprehensive warranty covering both materials and workmanship. If something isn’t right, we fix it – no arguments, no additional charges for legitimate warranty issues.
The warranty covers proper installation, material defects, and workmanship issues that arise from our installation. It doesn’t cover damage from normal wear, accidents, or changes you make to the work after completion.
As a licensed and insured contractor, you have additional protection beyond just our word. We stand behind our work because our reputation in Suffolk County depends on satisfied customers who refer friends and neighbors.
