"Richard documented and itemized the work to be done in a good quote. This made it easy for me to select the priority services I wanted. While I bought the replacement door, Richard was helpful advising me what door to select, and an efficient Home Depot to get it at. Richard was patient while inspecting the work to be done, and explaining what was need. Richard began in a timely fashion, and worked with my schedule. i am very happy with the resulting door installation."

"Great, Eric and his crew are top notch. The pocket door requires additional work, but Eric offered me a few options to choose from. He was very communicative and clear about what to do with the pocket door. I will continue to work with Eric and his team, hopefully for many years to come. It's nice to have professionals I feel I can trust."

"They did a good job of gutter cleaning and deck washing on a 16-suite medical office building, and Rolando was very informative about what the crew was doing and why. He quoted me the added cost to install stainless-steel gutter guard screens, which I had them do while on the job. These screens are a bit pricey, but it seems to be a good quality product and they did excellent work."

"We used Bay Remodeling Kitchen & Bath once more for a kitchen remodeling after having such a great experience with them for our bathroom project. Once more, they produced outstanding outcomes. The crew is professional, pleasant, and very talented. They fulfilled our strict deadline and kept inside our budget. The updated kitchen design is both elegant and useful. Such a trustworthy contractor is hard to come by, and we heartily endorse them for any renovation project."

"After they redid our counter tops and island, we had them paint out cabinets and build shelves up to the ceiling. The communication was on point this time and the results speak for themselves. Would definitely recommend them to anyone for any home project."

"Skytech Builders made the process so easy! Jonathan and Leo both came in and showed me a bunch of different layouts and frames for kitchen cabinets. I had to redo my bathroom cabinets as well. We ended up talking for four hours about my current vision and what I want in my kitchen. They showed me many projects they did and a lot of options, colors, and 3d designs of how everything will look at the end. They made that vision come to life a couple of months later. I couldn't be happier with the results and how it all turned out, the same as the primer design they showed me, they were so professional and most importantly clean!! Jonathan and Leo took control and made sure everything was perfect. I appreciate Skytech Builders for coming in and handling everything in a professional way."

FAQs for carpentry projects in San Jose, CA

The average cost to hire a woodworker for a project in your home is around $65 per hour, but hourly rates can range from $35 to $250 or more, depending on the experience and skill of the woodworker. Your total woodworking project cost will depend on the complexity of the work, the type of wood, the number of projects, and any other materials your project requires. You could hire a professional woodworker to create everything from a custom cabinet to ornate, unique staircases.

Generally, general contractors charge between $50 and $150 hourly, though not every contractor charges by the hour. If charging based on the project, you can expect a markup of 10% to 20% of the construction cost. You can expect to pay between $300 and $500 daily if charged by the day.

While city and state laws vary on general contractor licensing requirements, hiring an unlicensed general contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local general contractor guidelines for your area.

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

Every woodworker has different skills and experience, so we recommend asking the following questions when hiring a woodworker for your project:

  • How long have you been in the woodworking industry?

  • What experience do you have with my type of project?

  • Do you have customer references I can speak with?

  • How long do you expect my project to take?

  • What is my recourse if I have an issue with your work?

  • Do you charge hourly or per project?

  • Will you work on-site or in your own workshop?

  • Does your fee include the necessary post-job clean-up?

While they perform similar tasks, a carpenter is responsible for the woodworking that goes into construction—like framing, installing sheathing, and hanging kitchen cabinets—while a woodworker tackles more intricate and custom projects—like building custom furniture and installing wainscoting. Based on these definitions, most woodworkers can tackle the jobs of a carpenter, but you should always ask about your specific project when choosing a woodworker to ensure they have the necessary skills to tackle the job.
