Find & Compare Carpenters in Your Area!

Carpenters build and repair the wooden parts of a house. Rough carpenters frame walls, floors, and roofs; finish carpenters install trim, doors, stairs, cabinets, and built-in shelving; many also build decks and pergolas or replace rotted siding and window sills. Most people here have a specific piece of woodwork in mind and want someone who has done it before.

Ask to see photos of finished jobs like yours, because framing and fine trim are different skills and few carpenters are equally strong at both. Find out who buys the materials, whether the price is per project or by the hour, and how they will handle hidden rot found once old boards come off. Carpentry is often not licensed as a trade on its own, but structural work, decks, and stairs usually need a permit, so ask who pulls it. For projects that involve several trades, see general contractors.
