Common questions from clients looking for General Carpentry services
Rough carpentry is the structural work — framing, sheathing, blocking — that will be covered by other materials. Finish carpentry is the visible detail work — trim, built-ins, custom woodwork.
A carpenter can sister damaged joists, install a temporary support beam, or replace rotted sill plates; structural foundation or beam issues should involve a structural engineer for the repair plan.
Most carpenters charge hourly ($75–$150) with a minimum trip charge; large custom projects may be bid as a flat price including materials and labor for budget certainty.
Pressure-treated pine (ground-contact rated), western red cedar, and Ipe (Brazilian hardwood) are the primary choices for outdoor structures — each offering different price, appearance, and longevity trade-offs.
Most standard profiles are still manufactured; rare or discontinued profiles can be custom-milled with a router table and matching bit set, or custom-ground from a profile template.
