Mary B. says, "Mr. Barnaby was a most helpful person as I was unsure of what I should do regarding my furnace and with winter upon us I was very worried. Mr. Barnaby calmed my fears and said he'd be at my home at 6pm! Mr. Barnaby arrived and almost immediatley diagnosed the problem! He explained a bit about how the furnace works and advised me of maintaining it. In just under an hour the furnace was up and running! He cleaned out the furnace which was in an awful state and he showed me how to do it! Mr. Barnaby is a most helpful, knowledgeable and kind man. I highly recommend Majestic Group Barnaby Mechanical and have put them in my home/address book! A thousand thanks Mr. Barnaby!" Read more

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on HomeGuide.

What does a carpenter do?

Carpenters construct, remodel, and repair structures and home fixtures made from wood and other materials. Carpenters build projects such as decks, gazebos, framing rooms and houses, installing stairs, cabinets, trim, baseboards, crown molding, and more.

How much do carpenters charge near me?

Carpenters cost $30 to $100 per hour on average to hire, depending on the project's size and type, materials, and local labor rates. Carpenters charge $5 to $20 per square foot to frame houses, walls, and ceilings from top to bottom with plates and studs.

What are the different types of carpenters?

The main types of carpentry services are:

  • Rough and framing carpenters – Includes the rough framing of walls, ceilings, rafters, floors, beams, and roofing for new structures and remodeling.
  • Finish carpenters – Includes general carpentry such as cabinetry, furniture making, fine woodworking, parquetry, joinery, or other carpentry where precise joints are important.
  • Trim carpenters – Includes ornamental work such as installing and repairing trim, molding, and baseboards on doors, windows, flooring, staircases, and ceilings.

Where can I find a good local carpenter?

To find the local carpenter services, do the following:

  • Start your search on websites like HomeGuide and Google and look for recommended carpenters.
  • Get at least three price estimates to compare.
