"Gaby helped us remodel our kitchen. We wanted to keep our existing custom cabinets but modernize the appearance. Gaby transformed the look from a country style kitchen to a more modern, crisp design by: -extending the cabinets about 10” to the ceiling, and adding molding and trim work -replacing faux legs in our island and cooking area with clean edges -building custom decorative panels for the island and columns -removing a cabinet to make room for a beverage center -countless repairs and fixes Gaby also coordinated painting - both the cabinets and the ceiling/walls, and painted over 50 cabinet doors/drawers himself. The painting turned out absolutely beautiful and professional - as if the cabinets were white from the beginning. He also coordinated many of the other jobs, including recommending an electrician for us who was also very reliable and professional. In many ways, he acted like a GC for us in addition to a carpenter. Can’t say enough about Gaby. He is an outstanding, meticulous carpenter. He knows his stuff in and out. He is reliable, prompt, efficient, reasonable, and goes above and beyond to deliver amazing results. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone and already planning other carpentry projects with him in mind. A+, 10/10, fabulous to work with. Thank you Gaby!"

"Totally satisfied. Very thorough and skillful work. They were invested in making the project the best it could be. Very reasonable cost. Our home has great curb appeal now. Probably the best contractor experience we’ve had out in central Mass."

"The CP construction crew were very hard working and competent. Clod as the owner is extremely customer service oriented. He communicated with me throughout the permitting process, the build and the inspection process. The new deck and stairs look great and bring compliments from all the neighbors. I will definitely reach out to CP construction in the future."

"I hired Bob to do repairs and renovation of a condo rental unit. He renovated the bathroom with new tiles, replacing bathroom rotten wood frame window with a vinyl frame, installing new light fixtures and repairing bathroom plumbing, repairing torn screens, as well as repainting interior walls and trim throughout the unit and installing new shades throughout. He also plastered water-damaged ceilings and cleaned and organized the basement storage area. On the exterior he replaced a rotted window frame and missing clapboards, then patched and painted the wall. Bob arrived early each day and worked diligently. Bob is a great problem solver and works with you to suggest ways to do repairs for the best outcome while keeping costs down. His work is high quality. I would definitely hire him again."

"When I called to hire the handyman, the person on the phone warned me that sometimes exterior rot is like peeling an onion. What an onion! The visible rot was on the weather side of the house on a clapboard chimney. After a little excavation, it soon became clear that this was a much bigger project. Water has been leaking into that chimney for some time and the rot on its base was incredible. Four of five joists holding up the fire box and the entire chimney were rotted to within a few inches of the foundation. Worse, it appears that the previous owners dressed up the problem before selling us the house five years ago. The crew from Mr. Handyman Central MetroWest was terrific. They removed the rotted wood and essentially rebuilt the chimney's base, tying it into the existing, solid joists; cut out the other jerry-rigged fix the previous owners had attempted, and rebuilt the frame of the chimney; and then resided the chimney. That sounds simple, but it was a major job--definitely well beyond what I was capable of and worth every nickle we spent on it. The guys working on the project were professional in every sense of the word. They were dutiful--there wasn't really anytime I didn't hear them hammering, sawing, drilling, etc. They were on time. They were polite. They cleaned up every day of a three-day project. And they did the little things that make the difference between getting the job done and really solving the problem for us. They even built a shelf for a dehumidifier under an adjacent crawl space, solving another problem for us before it really became a big one. To top it all off, they replaced a couple of other rotten pieces of trim. Last summer, I brought out a couple of contractors to look at the rot and they all said the work was too small for them. I wonder if they would have agreed if they knew what the project became. And in honesty, the reality of paying by the hour for a project like this is not something I would have planned to do. But once the extent of the problem was there for me to see, we had to solve it--getting three quotes from other providers wasn't really an option. The bottom line is this: I am extremely happy with the work Mr. Handyman of Central Metro West did. The cost was more than I had planned on going in--but that was the function of the size of the problem and what it would take to fix it."

FAQs for carpentry projects in Leicester, MA

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.
