"Mike was punctual and very professional on this project which took a little over two days to complete. His assistant was very skilled in the kind of carpentry required for building a deck and benches incorporated into the structure. The photo shows the triangular area repaired after a spa had been removed. The new redwood had not yet been stained to match the older part of the deck."

Website: https://finehomec.com/ Welcome to Fine Home Construction, where we bring your visions to life with honesty, quality, and dedication. Founded by a hardworking Mexican father, our company is built on the values of hard work, integrity, and a commitment to delivering exceptional construction services to families and businesses. Fine Home Construction was established to provide honest, high-quality construction services. Over the years, we have achieved significant milestones, including: Building a loyal client base who trust us for their construction needs. Successfully completing numerous high-profile residential and commercial projects. Expanding our team with skilled and dedicated workers

"We recently completed a second-story addition with Fine Home Construction, and the experience exceeded all our expectations. With a growing family, we needed more space, but moving wasnâ t an option. From start to finish, Fine Home Construction delivered exceptional service, professionalism, and craftsmanship, transforming our home in ways we could only dream of. Clear Communication and Vision: From the very first consultation, we knew Fine Home Construction was the right choice. They listened carefully to our needs and offered thoughtful design solutions we hadnâ t even consideredâ like larger windows and a skylight to bring in natural light. Throughout the process, they maintained excellent communication, keeping us informed every step of the way. They were upfront about costs, with no surprises, and gave us options that worked within our budget. Construction Phase â Smooth and Stress-Free: Living in the home during construction was something we were initially worried about, but the team made it easy. They were punctual, respectful, and cleaned up at the end of every day. The project manager, [Project Managerâ s Name], was always available for questions and made sure everything stayed on track. The quality of the work speaks for itselfâ every part of the addition was done to the highest standards, and inspections passed without a hitch. Attention to Detail and Flexibility: What really stood out was their attention to detail. Fine Home Construction didnâ t just add a second story; they made it feel like a natural extension of our home. The exterior blends perfectly with the original structure, and inside, everything from the custom cabinetry to the built-in shelving was done with care. When we requested changes mid-project, like adding a balcony off the master bedroom, they accommodated without missing a beat. The Finished Product: Our home feels completely transformed. The new master suite is a beautiful, serene space, and the extra bedrooms are perfect for our kids. The upstairs family room, with its large windows, has become the heart of our home. Fine Home Construction also made sure the addition was energy-efficient, and weâ ve already noticed a difference in comfort. Conclusion: Working with Fine Home Construction was a fantastic experience from beginning to end. They made a potentially stressful project feel manageable and turned our house into the dream home we always wanted. If youâ re considering a renovation or home addition, I wholeheartedly recommend Fine Home Construction. Their quality of work and commitment to customer satisfaction are unmatched."

Carpentry services FAQs

The average cost to hire a woodworker for a project in your home is around $65 per hour, but hourly rates can range from $35 to $250 or more, depending on the experience and skill of the woodworker. Your total woodworking project cost will depend on the complexity of the work, the type of wood, the number of projects, and any other materials your project requires. You could hire a professional woodworker to create everything from a custom cabinet to ornate, unique staircases.

Generally, general contractors charge between $50 and $150 hourly, though not every contractor charges by the hour. If charging based on the project, you can expect a markup of 10% to 20% of the construction cost. You can expect to pay between $300 and $500 daily if charged by the day.

While city and state laws vary on general contractor licensing requirements, hiring an unlicensed general contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local general contractor guidelines for your area.

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

Every woodworker has different skills and experience, so we recommend asking the following questions when hiring a woodworker for your project:

  • How long have you been in the woodworking industry?

  • What experience do you have with my type of project?

  • Do you have customer references I can speak with?

  • How long do you expect my project to take?

  • What is my recourse if I have an issue with your work?

  • Do you charge hourly or per project?

  • Will you work on-site or in your own workshop?

  • Does your fee include the necessary post-job clean-up?

While they perform similar tasks, a carpenter is responsible for the woodworking that goes into construction—like framing, installing sheathing, and hanging kitchen cabinets—while a woodworker tackles more intricate and custom projects—like building custom furniture and installing wainscoting. Based on these definitions, most woodworkers can tackle the jobs of a carpenter, but you should always ask about your specific project when choosing a woodworker to ensure they have the necessary skills to tackle the job.
