"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

"From start to finish, was a pleasure to work with. Started with an honest estimate and timeline. Began work on time daily and kept a very clean work area in my yard while building my deck. Would keep me up to speed if there was any issues and provided efficient solutions. Finished the job on time and on budget! Very professional and extremely reliable! Not to mention the quality of my new deck is amazing, came out even better than I had imagined it to be!"

"Joshua was professional and courteous both days he was here. He repaired a fence and replaced a gate outside damaged by Hurricane Laura. On the interior he removed damaged paneling on an entire wall and replaced it adding new insulation along with all the molding and trim. Would definitely recommend! Eric T"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

While carpenters and woodworkers perform similar tasks, their focus differs. A carpenter is typically responsible for the structural woodwork involved in construction, such as framing, installing sheathing, hanging kitchen cabinets, and installing trusses. In contrast, a woodworker handles more intricate and custom projects, like building custom furniture, installing wainscoting, and creating detailed interior trim and moldings. Based on these definitions, many woodworkers can perform the tasks of a carpenter, but it's always best to discuss your specific project with a professional to ensure they have the necessary skills.

Spindles on a deck may also be called balusters or pickets. While not as important to the structural support of the deck as the rail posts, they play a critical role in ensuring the deck is safe to use by closing in large gaps in the railing. For this reason, balusters must be no more than 4 inches away from one another.

A contract should outline the scope of work, timelines, costs, payment schedule, and materials used for clarity and protection.

Some states require carpenters to be licensed to perform forms of carpentry, such as framing. The license requires a certain amount of experience and to pass an examination. In states that don’t require carpenters to be licensed, they must be licensed as a contractor if they work independently rather than solely as a subcontractor under a licensed builder. Use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to find out whether a potential carpenter is licensed in your state.

No, you do not usually tip a carpenter for their work. However, if you’ve been very happy with the level of service and quality of work, a 10% to 20% tip would likely be accepted with thanks. If you’re not sure, it can help to discuss the carpenter’s policy or preference for tipping before beginning the project.
