About
Hi, I’m Eugene, owner of SolidStem LLC. I’m a licensed and insured Home Improvement Contractor serving Pennsylvania and New Jersey, specializing in decks, porches, stairs, railings, and larger exterior carpentry projects. My work is best suited for homeowners who value quality, safety, proper planning, and code-compliant construction - not quick patch jobs or the lowest possible bid. I focus on structural outdoor work done properly: deck rebuilds, porch renovations, new stairs, railing projects, partial structural repairs, exterior framing, and carpentry projects where durability and clean execution matter. I personally handle the work myself, so every project gets direct attention from the person responsible for the final result. No random crews, no rushed shortcut work, and no disappearing after the job is done. Core Services: • Deck construction, rebuilds, expansions, and structural repairs • Porch renovation and rebuild projects • Stair and railing installation or remodel • Exterior framing and structural carpentry • Gazebo and prefab outdoor structure installation • Fence and gate repair or rebuild • Select smaller projects when the scope is the right fit On-site estimates are paid. I charge a $75 visit fee, which includes a proper project evaluation, measurements, scope review, and a clear fixed price. The $75 is credited toward the project if you move forward. If you’re looking for the cheapest option, I may not be the right fit. If you want the project done properly, with quality workmanship and accountability, I’d be glad to discuss it.

Eugene was quick to respond to my Thumbtack request for a handyman to put up a handrail on our steps. He did an excellent job and it was a pleasure to work with him. We will definitely look to him for future projects.

Can’t say enough great things! You will not be sorry if you hire Eugene. Professional, and does the job right. He did some work to my faulty railing outside on my front porch and also installed new steps and stringer. Worked super fast and quality of work was incredible. Will hire again if I ever need anything at all.

He was amazing! The backsplash he installed was no easy task. He came prepared, on time with all the supplies he needed, protected our countertops and communicated through the process. He’s also very kind, and great with my dogs being around. Would hire again!

Details: A full day (Complex or long-term projects) • Installation • Assembly • Kitchen • Tiling • Home

Although my husband and I decided to go with another contractor due to the complexity of our remodel project, I was very impressed with Eugene‘s communication, professionalism, and very prompt responses. I will definitely keep him in mind for less complex projects around our home because I have no doubt he would do a great job and that we would be very happy with his work.

Details: Single room remodel • Bathroom • No existing plans, but have a good idea of what I want • No, the project is not covered by an insurance claim • As soon as possible
