What we do during a visit
Carpentry & Woodwork focused on small to medium projects
Small to medium carpentry projects that keep trim, doors, and wood surfaces looking tidy without the mess and cost of a full remodel. Great for punch-list style repairs and light improvements around the house.
Carpentry & Woodwork visits are built around a focused punch list so the most important items can be completed safely and efficiently in a single visit whenever possible. Related tasks in the same area of the home are grouped together so more gets done without multiple trips.

Pricing and scheduling
How pricing works for carpentry and woodwork visits
Most carpentry and woodwork visits are priced as a single service visit that covers drive time, set-up, and clean-up, plus the time needed to complete your list of repairs.
Smaller tasks can often be combined into one visit as long as they are in the same general area of the home and use similar tools. Grouping projects together keeps your overall cost lower than booking several separate trips.
Material costs are billed in addition to labor. You are welcome to provide your own fixtures or lumber, or we can source common items locally and include them on your invoice.

Questions from homeowners
Frequently asked questions about carpentry & woodwork visits
A few common questions that come up when homeowners request carpentry & woodwork help. If you do not see your question here, you can always add it to your estimate request.
Do you handle small fence and gate repairs?
Yes. Replacing damaged fence boards, tightening hardware, and tuning up wood gates are all good fits for a handyman visit, as long as we are not rebuilding long runs of fence from scratch.
Can you build custom furniture or built-ins from scratch?
Custom furniture and fully built-in cabinetry are usually better handled by a dedicated carpenter or cabinet shop. Our carpentry visits focus on small repairs and straightforward projects that fit into a single service window.
Do I need to buy materials ahead of time?
You are welcome to purchase specific trim, lumber, or hardware if you have something particular in mind. Otherwise, we can recommend standard options, pick them up locally, and include them on your final invoice.
