"Signed contract for 1,000 sq ft floating deck and railing atop 3-car garage, some Hardie boards installed on end of 2nd story house facing deck, painting, caulking, etc. 24/25Aug Hardie installer did an unprofessional job. 12,13&15 Sep, first paint crew did lousy job caulking and painting Hardie boards. 5Oct, second paint crew did more caulking and tried to better paint job. Still blotchy, but tired at this point dealing with company. Threatened to pay for what was done and terminate contract, but owner threatened to have his attorney contact us. We continued after having an hour-long meeting with the owner to get things on the "right track;" however, nothing changed. 11-23Oct, deck installers installed sub-frame pressure-treated lumber and Trex decking, steps, and porch cover. A very nice job. 23Oct, sub-contractor did excellent job installing a metal roof on the porch. 24/25Oct, another crew did a beautiful job installing railings. 30/31Oct, second paint crew did poor paint job and poor storm door install. 6Nov, had to have Hardie board door frame removed and replaced with cedar (wood) frame for storm door to be properly attached. 7Nov, Third, yes third, paint crew showed up to paint and caulk door frame and touch up 2nd paint crew's poor paint job. Contract and advertisement state "no money paid till job completed." On 19Oct owner asked for "$25K or $30K payment" as he needed funds. I acquiesced and gave him $20K. Final payment of $26K was made on 8Nov17. The day final payment was made, I had a question about Trex and went to the Trex web site and discovered the wolmanized/pressure-treated sub-frame lumber used for the floating deck should have had Trex Protect Joist and Beam Tape installed doubling the life expectancy from 10 to 20 years--confirmed via e-mail from Trex customer service. Was disappointed this professional company with a "passion for quality deck construction" wasn't aware of this product. (Did ask Diamond Deck owner why this wasn't used in our last e-mail to him, no response--he had our money. After agreeing to a $46K contract, certainly another $500 or so for beam tape to double the life of our sub-frame wouldn't have been an issue.) This 10-week project was the most stressful remodeling experience in our lives. Extremely poor communication, project managers who don't oversee a job nor coordinate work with homeowner and workers, and excuses galore. The company obviously takes on too many jobs sacrificing quality and leaving the homeowner feeling like this is a side-line project and "we'll get to you when we can." Also, we are still cleaning up behind the crews (oil stains all over our driveway from sub-contractor/employee vehicles, unused screws, cigarette butts, etc.). We paid for our own porta-potti as none was offered. During this 10-week ordeal (albeit we did have several weeks of poor weather or shipping delays) we had NUMEROUS e-mails, texts, phone calls & some meetings--totally uncalled for if this was"

"I can’t recommend D Michael Designs enough!! Dave was incredibly helpful from beginning to end. He was very transparent with pricing and timeline which I appreciated. His sub contractors did great work. He gave me regular status updates and I never had a late arrival with anyone on his team. The finished product of my kitchen remodel is beautiful and I am so thankful I was referred to this company. I will be using him in the future for any further projects and already recommended to friends and family."

"Shield Home Repair did an amazing job on the build-out of my tiny home. They completed the bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen, and the workmanship throughout the entire project was excellent. The kitchen cabinets came out great, and they made very smart use of the small space, giving me plenty of room to cook and move around comfortably. The cabinetry in both the kitchen and bathroom looks beautiful and really gives the home a high-end feel. They were professional, dependable, and easy to work with from start to finish. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality craftsmanship and creative design solutions for small spaces."

FAQs for carpentry projects in Elmendorf, TX

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.
