Carpentry Questions and Answers

What does a carpenter do?

A carpenter cuts, shapes and installs wood and wood products, including trim, molding, built-ins, shelving, doors and repairs to damaged wood. Finish carpenters specialize in visible, detailed work.

When should I hire a carpenter instead of a handyman?

Choose a carpenter for woodwork that needs precise measuring, cutting and fitting, such as custom built-ins, trim packages, wainscoting or repairs to detailed millwork. A handyman suits a list of small, varied tasks around the house. Structural framing and cabinet installation also have their own specialists.

How do I choose a carpenter?

Look at photos of similar projects and ask about the materials and finishes they recommend. Get a written estimate that includes materials, painting or staining and cleanup.

What affects the cost of carpentry work?

Cost depends on the project's size and complexity, wood species and materials, custom versus stock components, finishing work and repairs to underlying damage.

How should I prepare for a carpenter?

Gather inspiration photos and measurements, decide on paint or stain finishes, and clear the work area. If wood rot is involved, point out any leaks so they can be fixed as part of the repair.
