How much do woodworkers typically charge?

<div><p>The average cost to hire a woodworker for a project in your home is around <b>$65 per hour</b>, but hourly rates can range from <b>$35 to $250</b> 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.</p></div>

Is hiring a woodworker worth the money?

<div><p>Hiring a woodworker can be expensive, depending on the job, but it’s very often well worth the investment. Woodworkers are able to provide custom pieces of furniture and handmade construction to present a finished product that is exactly to your specifications. If you have a specific vision for a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture or home feature, the cost of hiring a professional woodworker is worthwhile. Plus, you’ll often get a higher quality product than what you could buy in stores for a fraction of the price.</p></div>

How do I choose the best woodworker for my home project?

<div><p>Every woodworker has different skills and experience, so we recommend asking the following questions when hiring a woodworker for your project:</p><ul><li><p>How long have you been in the woodworking industry?</p></li><li><p>What experience do you have with my type of project?</p></li><li><p>Do you have customer references I can speak with?</p></li><li><p>How long do you expect my project to take?</p></li><li><p>What is my recourse if I have an issue with your work?</p></li><li><p>Do you charge hourly or per project?</p></li><li><p>Will you work on-site or in your own workshop?</p></li><li><p>Does your fee include the necessary post-job clean-up?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

What is the difference between a woodworker and a carpenter?

<div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-wainscoting.htm">installing wainscoting</a>. 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.</p></div>

How hard is it to install trim or wainscoting yourself?

<div><p>It may seem simple to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-installing-trim-cost.htm">install trim</a>, wainscoting, and other finishing wood in your home, but the work is complicated and often frustrating. Getting small trim pieces to line up evenly without gaps and look streamlined in a finished product is a real challenge for DIYers, even if you have the necessary tools. We recommend hiring a professional woodworker for these more intricate projects. They’ll get the job done more quickly, and they’ll have the experience necessary to make everything look neat and clean to add more value to your home.</p></div>

"Mark and Zack are a great team. My deck was collapsing. I had reached out to Mark via Angi's list for help. He responded right away and visited me the next week at our appointed time. He had innovative ideas that I had not even thought of. He suggested adding lattice to replace my current implemented these ideas and WOW, my deck looks fantastic. The addition of lattice to replace some ugly wire I had installed (to keep my cats from jumping over the fence) really made the difference. Mark and Zack worked for a few hours over a couple of days, always checking in with me for suggestions. I grew to trust them very quickly and let them be creative but knew they would listen to me for my suggestions and make changes as needed. Mark, the proprietor is very talented as is his associate, Zack. I am so happy I met them and hope to have them do more work for me. I would recommend them highly to anyone looking for a responsible, talented contractor and assistant."

"We hired Cody to do some wallboard repair and to replace 4 interior Luan doors with 4 standard Masonite slabs in existing pre-hung door frames. The wall repair came out great, but the doors turned out to be well beyond his skill level. A carpenter friend had measured and delivered the doors to us, but he became too busy to do the work so we hired Cody. Surprisingly Cody claimed the standard doors were 1/8â too wide and too tall, and that both the width and height had to be trimmed. We questioned him but trusted his â expertiseâ and relented. He wound up cutting off so much of the width and height that we are left with visible gaps between the doors and the jambs. And because the barrel of the doorknobs did not reach the strike plates, he "fixed" his mistake by â doubled upâ two strike plates on each door so three catch - the fourth still doesn't. In short, he ruined $400 worth of doors, which have to be replaced â and installed â by a competent contractor. Cody refuses to discuss a solution, claiming that he warned us that trimming the doors would be problematic, and blaming us for telling him to cut the doors â all of which we vigorously deny. He was the one who suggested the â fix,â and we trusted he knew what he was doing. It wasnâ t until he was finished that we saw the horrific mistakes and that his workmanship was abysmal. Weâ ve never written a bad review but cannot recommend Bartonâ s Perfection if you need carpentry work. His work was far from â perfection.â"
