Do You Need Carpentry & Woodworking?

Hire a carpenter for built-in shelving and cabinets, trim and crown moulding, stair repairs, decks, rot repair, and anything that needs accurate joinery. Structural framing that changes load paths needs a permit and often an engineer.

What Do Carpentry & Woodworking Pros Do?

Finish carpenters install trim, doors, cabinets and built-ins. Rough carpenters frame walls, floors and roofs. Many carpenters also repair rot, build decks and porches, and do custom woodwork.

Carpentry & Woodworking: common questions

What is the difference between a carpenter and a handyman?

Carpenters specialise in woodwork and usually handle larger or more precise jobs. Handymen take a wide range of small repairs across trades.

Do decks need permits?

In many places, yes, especially decks attached to the house or above a certain height. Check locally before building.

Can rotted wood be repaired rather than replaced?

Small areas can sometimes be consolidated and filled. Structural members and widespread rot should be replaced, and the water source fixed.
