Decking & framing
Our core specialties
What we build
Two specialties, and the work that surrounds them
Two specialties we know cold — decking and framing — plus the finish work and remodels that round out a project. One accountable crew from demo to trim.
Why True Carpenters
The difference is under the surface
Anyone can screw down deck boards. The value is in what you don't see once the job's done.
We work directly with homeowners and as a framing subcontractor for builders across Tampa Bay — the same standards either way.
More about usFraming is what everything else hangs on
Most problems in a finished home trace back to rushed framing. We size for the span, fasten to schedule, and square everything up before the next trade shows.
One crew, held accountable
The same people who demo and frame also trim it out. No finger-pointing between subs when something needs to be right.
Straight answers, realistic timelines
We tell you what's actually involved — including the parts other bids leave out — and give you a schedule we intend to keep.
Built for the Florida climate
Heat, humidity and salt air are hard on materials. We spec decking and structure to hold up here, not just to pass on paper.
How we work
Plan · Build · Remodel · Finish
Four steps, straight from our mark. It's how every project moves — with communication at each stage instead of surprises at the end.
Plan
We start with a clear scope
Walk the project, understand the goal, and put a real plan on paper.
Build
We frame and build it right
Structure first — square, plumb and to code — so everything after is easy.
Remodel
We adapt to the real house
Older homes hide surprises. We handle them without derailing the job.
Finish
We finish clean
Tight trim, a tidy site, and a walkthrough before we call it done.

Good to know
Questions we hear a lot
A few of the things people ask before getting started.
What areas do you serve?
We work across the Tampa Bay area — Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota, Parrish and Palmetto. If you're just outside that range, ask; we'll tell you honestly whether it's a fit.
How much experience do you have?
True Carpenters has 5+ years building across the Tampa Bay area, with a focus on decking and framing. We're glad to talk through our experience and share references relevant to your project when you reach out.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. We provide a free, no-obligation estimate after we understand the scope of your project. The more detail you can share up front, the more accurate that estimate will be.
Do you work with homeowners, builders, or both?
Both. We work directly with homeowners on decks, remodels and additions, and we work as a framing and carpentry subcontractor for builders and general contractors.
What's your main specialty?
Decking and framing. Those are the two things we build most and know best. We also handle finish carpentry, cabinets, kitchens and demolition — usually as part of a larger project.
