Harry G. says, "Sebastian did an outstanding job. First, he offered to come out to look at the job the same day I posted it. He gave me a reasonable and informed estimate. We agreed on the day he'd come back. On that day, he arrived early, and brought everything he needed to complete the work, including plastic sheeting to limit dust on furniture. He worked efficiently. The job required pulling off drywall, and adding reinforcements to the studs beneath in order to hang something heavy on the wall. He did the carpentry, patched the drywall, spackled, sanded, painted and hung the object. He thoroughly cleaned up after the project. And was polite and friendly. Great work by a nice person for a much more reasonable price than I had been quoted by others."See more

Charles G. says, "I recently had the pleasure of working with Flo Tek to replace my old garbage disposal, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From start to finish, their professionalism and expertise were evident. First, I reached out to them for a quote, and their response time was impressive. They provided a clear breakdown of costs and options available, which helped me make an informed decision. The technician arrived on time, equipped with all the necessary tools and a friendly demeanor that immediately put me at ease. The installation process was efficient and hassle-free. The technician took the time to explain the new disposal’s features and how to maintain it, ensuring I felt confident in my purchase. I appreciated their attention to detail and the clean-up they performed after the job was done. Overall, my experience with Flo Tek was outstanding. Their commitment to customer satisfaction and quality service truly sets them apart. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of plumbing services, especially garbage disposal replacements. Thank you, Flo Tek, for a job well done!"See more

Matthew Poole says, "My wife and I hired Ivo and Team to help us restart finishing a basement. We had previously hired a separate contractor in March and had to fire him half way through due to terrible work and prolonged timelines. We found DBR Builders who worked with us to demolish the previous work and start fresh. 5 weeks total is all it took for them to demolish the old work and completely finish our basement. Electrical, drywall, painting, flooring, and building a bar area. The finished product was better than we could have imagined and now we're slowly finding decorations to make it feel like a true "man-cave". We were very impressed with Ivo, his team/crew, and their professionalism and timeliness. I tried my best to not watch over the project too much (considering the disaster of a job my previous contractor did), but even when I had questions or concerns, Ivo and team were very helpful in answering my questions and making sure I felt comfortable with their plan of action.The only small hiccup we had was when it came to our choice in paint. We had specified to DBR the paint color and brand that we wanted to use on our walls, but not the specific finish. We assumed that we would use at least satin paint, especially in the bar area where we expect high traffic, spilled drinks, etc. It wasn't until all the paint was up and we saw some chips/scratches that we realized it was flat paint. When asking DBR if there was anything we could do like repaint it with a more durable finish, they asked for a rather significant upcharge. They did however make sure all imperfections in the paint were touched up before officially being done with the project, which I greatly appreciated.I would consider that hiccup a 50/50 responsibility. We should have clarified, and they should have asked. But either way, I understand they're a business and are not working for free. Just was surprised they asked for as much as they did. Make sure to be as clear as possible in this area what you're looking for. Nevertheless, if that's the worst hiccup we had, we came out pretty good.All-in-All, we are very pleased with our finished product and are very thankful for DBR. Would highly recommend to someone needing a job well done by professionals! 9.5/10!"See more

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How much does it cost to have kitchen cabinets installed?

In any kitchen, the cabinets are the main focus, so you want to make sure new or replacement cabinets are installed correctly. A professional carpenter can properly, securely mount new cabinets to the wall; the national average cost for this service is $7,725, although the cost varies widely depending on the type of cabinets, their material and their size, and the accessories you add. A typical fee is $70 per linear foot to remove existing cabinets and assemble and install new ones; the cost is less if you do the demolition and removal yourself. Stock cabinets are the least expensive to have installed, ranging from $75 to $400 each; semi-custom cabinets range from $150 to $900 each; and custom cabinets cost from $500 to $1,400 each. Wood cabinets are more expensive than those made from plywood or medium-density fiberboard (MDF) and finished with a laminate. Wood cabinets range in cost from $80 to $160 per linear foot. Laminate-finished cabinets cost $35 to $75 per linear foot, on average.

How much is custom cabinetry?

Custom cabinets can be built for any room, including bedroom closets and built-in armoires. Measured carefully and built precisely, custom cabinetry can increase storage and beautify any room. The national average for building custom cabinets ranges from $500 to $1,200 per linear foot. The cost is highly variable because there are so many styles, colors, glazes and other options. In general, the linear footage of the cabinets, the materials used to build them, and the cost of the labor will determine the cost. Solid wood costs more than plywood and wood veneer, and costs vary among different types of wood; maple and cherry cabinets are more expensive than pine. Glass-front cabinets can cost more, as can decorative hinges, handles and door pulls, which can cost $2-$45 each; choose carefully to stay within your budget and pull off the exact look you’re going for. Some carpenters also charge for installation, on average $100 per cabinet box. Additional molding and trim, such as crown molding at the ceiling, cost an average of $70 per 8-foot section, and adding finished ends to exposed cabinets averages $100-$200.

Do you tip cabinet installers?

In general, home service providers such as electricians, plumbers and contractors are professionals who don’t expect tips. They expect to do a job for you for the specific price they quoted. Of course, they may appreciate a tip for a job particularly well done or for which they’ve gone beyond what’s normally expected, such as completing the project early or under budget. Even better than a tip, it’s always appropriate to leave a positive review online after a good experience.

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.

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.

What does a finish carpenter charge per hour?
