SES is a locally owned and operated company that specializes in bathrooms and kitchens, home remodeling, renovation, and commercial construction services. Our company is licensed and insured, which means you can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with hiring a reputable contractor.
"SES was hired to restore an old building in the Marigny based on architectural plans. The project took twice as long as necessary and was a financial disaster for several reasons. 1). At the last minute, SES brought in a foreman who had never run a job site. Imagine the lack of judgment to trusting a project of this size to someone who had so little experience. He was directly responsible for major mistakes in construction such as attaching a balcony incorrectly, mismanagement of subs, and framing mistakes. He was fired after my job but that’s too late. No one stepped up to help when he was blundering. Shawn who runs the firm was invisible as the mistakes compounded. 2). Ses had taken in way more business as a firm than they could handle and were behind and struggling on multiple projects. We almost had a full support group with all the projects faltering. Once the project became a disaster, the real nonsense began. Their mistakes had driven their cost out of control. They decided to make the wrong decision and pressured all subs into cutting costs and look for anything to upcharge. They stopped showing up to finish the job. Currently, a full two years after the work was competed, I have 1). wooden Spanish cedar columns splitting apart and needing repair. 2). A roof and brick wall that is leaking because they were too cheap to put a proper cap on a new brick wall and roof. Perry is the guy who quotes and promises you the world, the second things go wrong, he says “I’m just an estimator”. Perry’s word is no guarantee. Don’t fall for the charm of this team as they are ruthlessly about the money. God forbid they make mistakes, they are not gonna make it right. Zero warranty or help fixing these problems. No ownership or offer of doing the work at cost. If they bother to come back with a quote, it is a absurdly predatory prices. Zero remorse for building, installing, and painting these columns which are falling apart. If you do business with these guys I suggest you have an incredibly tight contract with time limits and a good lawyer to fight after they make mistakes. As for all the positive reviews on Angie’s, they have an office staff that must be cranking them out cause I have had quite a different experience."

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.
