Alonsos is committed to excellence in every aspect of our business. We uphold a standard of integrity bound by fairness, honesty, and personal responsibility. Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests, and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"Used Angi to find help on 1-10-2025. Of the six companies I requested estimates from, Alonsos was the only one that responded. It was the next day. We needed repair to the house due to a branch spearing the back of it. His quote was reasonable and he was willing to come on Monday. The repairs were finished in a short time. My son thought to ask about our upper deck railing and the front board that was bad on the lower deck. Again we were given a reasonable quote and the work was done that day. To my surprise he replaced all three sides of the lower deck and added shoring. For the upper deck he enclosed the corners and it looks amazing. I will definitely keep him on speed dial for future work."

"The contractor was hired according to his quotation after vetting other contractors recommended by Angi. He collected payments through Zelle and cash in various installments, as acknowledged in his invoice, to perform the services outlined in his quotation. However, he failed to complete any of the work. The new roof he installed, which he claimed was sourced from a reputable roofing company with a 30-year warranty was negligently installed and could not pass Georgia's code test and inspection. He was informed that we are selling the property and he even recommended a buyer. He failed to complete any of the work in his quotation and refused to respond to repeated requests to cone and complete the work. We have no choice but to engage another contractor recommended by Home Depot. We have the property under contract, with closing scheduled for February 12, 2025. During the due diligence period, the buyer ordered an inspection, which revealed that the new roof LeClair Renovation LLC supplied and installed did not meet Georgia code requirements. The contractor was informed of this and he admitted to the poor quality of his work. Furthermore, he refused to provide a warranty from the roofing company, despite stating in his quotation that the roof would come with a 30-year warranty. To proceed with closing, we have engaged a professional roofing company to inspect the roof and provide a quote for its replacement. Additionally, the other work outlined in the quotation was abandoned by the original contractor and completed by a contractor recommended by Home Depot for painting. This contractor provided us with an expired insurance policy to convince us to hire him, which we later discovered was fraudulent. All evidence related to this transaction, including videos, text messages, and other documentation, has been thoroughly recorded."

Carpentry services FAQs

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.
