Harriette W. says, "We had a master bathroom remodel, and kitchen cabinets refaced, cabinets paintedand counter tops changed. Carlos & his team remodeled the bathroom and were above and beyond excellent workers! They arrived in the morning and worked a full 8 hours and kept us in the loop for everything! We always knew who and when they were arriving and leaving. They left everything flawless upon cleaning up after they were done. The kitchen job was completely different. We never knew when the kitchen guy, Avi, would show up or leave. And when he did show up, he only worked 2-4 hours. When questioned about it, he had an excuse each time. We never knew when or what time he would arrive. While he is an older experience craftsman for kitchen refacing, his work ethic is deplorable, and he does not go above and beyond but does the bare minimum. You definitely have to be sure he does everything required, so you constantly have to follow up to make sure he is doing the job correctly. It's not that he can't do the job. He's just not a good worker. A different guy painted the kitchen, and he was amazing and arrived early in the a.m. on a weekend, and over 2 days, he worked until the job was done! Avi was truly a disappointment, and the kitchen looks OK overall outside of the items not done correctly. The prices were reasonable, but I gave them 4 stars b/c of Avi. We are still waiting for our glass install on the shower, and it's been 6 weeks, but was told that the glass would be ready in 2-4 weeks."See more

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

Who is a carpenter and what do they do?

Carpenters are skilled craftsmen who build things out of wood. Depending on what the carpenter builds, they may be referred to by various names. A framer is a carpenter who puts up the framing on a house. A trim or finish carpenter installs the finishing touches of prefabricated or custom trim and detail work once a house has been built and the walls are up. A furniture maker or woodworker builds furniture — such as tables, beds and dressers — out of wood. A cabinetmaker is a carpenter who builds custom and semi-custom wood cabinets. If you’re having a home built or remodeled, your general contractor will either provide or subcontract the carpentry work for the framing, cabinets and trim. You can hire a carpenter directly to update the trim in your home, build you a piece of custom furniture, or repair or replace your wood cabinets.

Do carpenters build houses?

Carpenters are trained to work with wood. That means that any part of your home that is built of wood is very likely to involve a carpenter. Framing carpenters will put up the wood that makes up the bones of your home. If you’re having a wood floor installed, it may be done by a carpenter — although being a carpenter is not a requirement to install flooring. Trim, baseboards, wainscoting and any other detail work is typically installed by a finish carpenter. The wood boxes of custom cabinets will be built and installed by a carpenter.

Although all of these components in your new or remodeled home are built by carpenters who specialize in building things with wood, a general contractor typically oversees construction of the entire house. If the general contractor is also a carpenter skilled in all these areas, they may well construct your entire home. More often, the general contractor subcontracts out the various building stages to different individuals, including carpenters.

How do you find a good carpenter?

After you get a good sense of their quality of work, make sure the carpenter has the necessary credentials in your state. Then, request several cost estimates for your project(s).

What does a finish carpenter charge per hour?

On average, finish carpenters charge $60 per hour. However, this hourly rate will vary depending on where you live, the scope of the project and other factors. For a more accurate estimate, ask for price quotes from at least three finish carpenters in your area.
