JuliAne M. says, "How do I even start this Bob’tastic review…? It all started off with a request for carpentry and doors, then…… Bob became our true God send… I had the feeling that our previous contractors were getting ready to walk out as I sensed it, they bit off more than they could chew after 4 months past our move in date. Living in our other property I was stressed out researching contractors at 2am, because obviously I could not sleep. I came across Bob and contacted him, the next you know we were showing him the property that day and 2 days later he started working on a SUNDAY! What Bob and his team did for us and in the time to get us moved in was a miracle (10 days), he even put all other clients on hold hence why he dropped out of his #1 spot to make me a priority. I was always on the property daily to monitor their work and get the step by step what would happen that day. Yes 60% of the days went as he said would be accomplished. The other 40% was finding and fixing the mistakes from my previous contractor which dragged our time out an additional 6 days, this being said Bob is a perfectionist! We are talking re-painting because the lines were not straight, pulling up our "new" entire main (kitchen, living room, hallways) LVT flooring and replacing it (previous contractor was messy and ruined them). Needless to say, Bob is an expert at what he does, so I ask him what do you recommend that we replace the LVT with, also let it being known this is day 3 of me meeting him. I jump in his truck and went to look at new flooring. Day 4 he was calling me at 8 AM and we were purchasing it. His team ripped out the old/new LVT and laid the “new” floor in ONE day! Him and his team is a force. 2 days later we found out that my previous contractor again skipped steps in my guest bathroom, his tile expert recommended that we replace the “2 mths old/new” tile due to improper laying in both the shower and the flooring. Within 24 hours the bathroom tile was ripped out and redone, it now looks perfect! While dealing with bath tile issues he also had another team priming/painting our new “raw” doors and cutting door knob holes and getting them into place, and also a drywall specialist fixing all the imperfections that my last contractor felt was okay to live with. The work never stopped, they showed up early and left late. Bob is upfront and tells you step by step his thoughts, his honest opinion matters and makes a huge difference. His team are the most honest, hardest working, most polite, clean, courteous and appreciative humans that you could ask for (and that’s coming from a New Yorker), I would only recommend them for your home needs. . In addition to Bob and his team going above and beyond… When I say they are HONEST, all our belongings were on the property while they were working hard, they respected and cared for all our Arhaus furniture along with all our personal belongings that we had in boxes on site, and not one item went missing. They (team of 5) including the HVAC guy helped us unpack ALL boxes, put furniture in place and move us in... IN ONE DAY. His HVAC guy was too cool unpacking our pantry and asked does this look okay? Of course, I laughed when you wear many hats, and are caring! Bob also hires an amazing cleaning crew that continues to clean through the progress so your place does not look like a disaster zone. And in the end, he has a deep cleaner on site, no detail goes missed. If you want the best, Bob is your next hire!"See more

FAQs

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.

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.
