"I cannot sing the praises of Jose and his team enough. I purchased a new home that had carpeting everywhere and hired J & J Elite Carpentry Inc to replace with wood floors. They did an AMAZING job as you can see from the pictures. J&J even took care of replacing a few closet doors. Jose and his team are very friendly, knowledgable, patient, responsive, on time and professional. They communicate and are transparent with you every step of the way and get the job done with such great detail and care. They also specialize in other areas so I plan to hire them for other home repair needs."

"Bryan's technician was terrific. He figured out an ingenious way to hoist the heavy door to the second floor, and very skillfully and quickly adjusted the frame to fit the door, and affixed the heavy-duty hinges. And for the first-floor door, he figured out a way to repair the existing frame (rather than replace it), thereby saving me hundreds of dollars. All the work was done to a very high standard by a skilled professional who worked quickly and efficiently. And the price-tag for all this was remarkably low -- only a third the price I'd been quoted by another local handyman firm. I am delighted to have discovered Bryan, and look forward to calling him the next time I need help with a home repair."

"I had such a wonderful experience working with Red White and Blue Painting Enterprise. I called for a quote and received a return call from the owner ( Eric ) within hours. Within a day he came to review the scope of work, gave me a written proposal, and a start and finish date. Everything was done as promised, on time and for the agreed upon price. He and his staff are always on time, very polite and honest. Eric does work to his standard which honestly was higher than my expectation. In addition, he offered to return after the carpenters were done to handle any touch ups. I cannot think of a negative thing to say with regards to my experience with this company and have already recommended them to friends and family."

"They did excellent work at a excellent price. Most companies will look at the job and give you a price, usually building in extra costs for possible unseen issues. Integrated Electrical Solutions charges an up front $125 for coming out and $115/hour. In my case, moving a dining room light fixture, I had estimates ranging from $325 to $570. Because the work turned out to be straight forward their actual cost was $210."

"I had been working on finding the right contractor and company to build our back porch for months after working with two contractors that were total disappointment. I found Tito and Sons on home advisor. Tito and his crew were able to establish the permit in three weeks - we waited on this same permit application for almost 9 months with another company without the result we wanted Tito kept me updated, informed, and every step of the project he let me know what was going on in my backyard His crew could not have been nicer or more hard working. I swear they were out there In 100 degree heat. The back porch that they completed surpassed all of our expectations and more. I had so many questions all the time and Tito was patient, explanatory, and courteous We now have the back porch we have been hoping for and can enjoy the rest of summer and all of the seasons to come in this house thanks to them! Call Tito and sons of you want to get the job completed, On time, with the right price, friendly people, and quality work. We will use them again. Above all the genuine disposition and willingness to satisfy the client is unparalleled here. Celeste Shaughnessy Westfield"

FAQs for carpentry projects in Dayton, NJ

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.
