"When we bought our house in July, we knew we had a lot of work ahead. That's where Antonio came in—he has done ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING we've thrown at him, and he's done it all exceptionally well! From building a wall to separate bedrooms, handling framing, drywall, electrical work, and painting, to creating custom built-ins with hardwired lights which we didn't think was possible, he truly is the best thing that’s ever happened to us. He has installed new lighting, outlets, painted the exterior and redid casing/trim, crafted a custom front door with windows, and done deck work, plumbing, and flooring—the list goes on! Not only is Antonio incredibly talented, but he also provides trustworthy advice and finds the best-priced materials. He has been punctual and kind, showing up on time every day since we started working together. We’re so grateful for his help and expertise, and we trust him completely. We can't imagine what we would do without him, and how easy he has made this reno!"

"Working with Val and Flo was an absolute pleasure! I had them come in to frame out our basement, hang the drywall and do all the trim work. Val and Flo were prompt, professional, flexible and transparent through the estimating process. When the work began, Flo was always very organized, let me know of issues or decisions that needed to be made, gave me enough heads up to be able to make decisions with enough time and was overall very professional. The site was always cleaned up at the end of every day. The end result was fantastic work and we would absolutely hire them again for any type of home project. Both Val and Flo communicated very well about scheduling and everything was finished ahead of schedule and on-budget."

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.
