"I needed a dumpster that day. They had one and did not charge a same day/short notice fee. Inexpensive and I got to keep the dumpster for 30 to fill it up. Mr. O'Neal was very helpful and the driver was too!"

When it comes to making your home look beautiful, sometimes bringing in a professional contractor is the best option. When a company boasts over three generations of experience, you can expect their services to be top notch. This is certainly true of B&H. We are the top contractor serving clients throughout the greater Baton Rouge area. No matter what kind of construction or home improvement we are providing, we pledge to do so with the best customer service imaginable.

"Bobby worked to shuffle his schedule around to help me repair my roof with only 24 hours notice with multiple days of storms ahead in the forecast. They were able to finish the job I started demolition on realizing I was not knowledgable enough to tackle this repair myself. I sent a picture of my current situation, and the next day his crew of 3 finished the job & cleaned everything up I tore off the day before in only two hours. This repair included replacing partial plywood sheathing (approx 4' x 4'). The crew kept me informed as to what they were replacing, ensured the shingles matched existing, and had great communication throughout the entire construction process. Thanks again for helping me out in a pinch!"

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.
