"We recently had the pleasure of working with Chicagoland Home Products, and the experience exceeded my expectations in every way. The company demonstrated an unparalleled level of customer service, taking the time to measure out all the blinds we wanted for installation meticulously. Their attention to detail and commitment to ensuring a perfect fit was awe-inspiring. The installer arrived punctually on installation day and executed the job with remarkable skill and precision. The quality of work was evident, and I was particularly impressed by the meticulous cleanup afterward. Chicagoland Home Products takes pride in delivering not only exceptional products but also a seamless and professional installation process. I wholeheartedly recommend Chicagoland Home Products to anyone looking to update their closets and blinds. The combination of outstanding customer service, attention to detail, and top-notch installation makes them stand out in their field. My experience with this company has been nothing short of fantastic, and I'm confident that others will find their services as exceptional as I did."

"CJ Construction reconstructed a bridge that I need to go over a creek so I can get my riding mower to the back of my property. He was friendly, efficient, professional and did this unusual project at a good price. He was very thorough and made the bridge stronger and better than it ever was. I would hire him again for any project he was willing to do. No mess and considerate of property. I would hire Jeff again without even looking for another company."

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.
