There are 378 Carpenters, registered on Houzz.
Carpenters are skilled tradespeople who work with different types of wood to construct, install, and repair furniture. Carpenters can also install doors, windows, cabinets, and other wooden fixtures, ensuring proper fit and alignment. They assess and repair damaged wooden structures, replacing broken components to restore functionality and appearance. Carpenters interpret blueprints to understand project scope, measurements, and required materials.
The terms "joiner" and "carpenter" are often interchangeable, but they have distinct areas of focus. A joiner specialises in crafting and assembling wooden components in a workshop, such as doors, windows, and furniture. A carpenter is more involved in on-site construction work, including framing, installing structural elements, and fitting pre-made joinery components. Carpenters work with various materials and possess broader construction skills beyond woodworking.

What do carpenters do?


Carpenters are neither engineers nor builders. In the simplest terms they are woodworkers, thought they don’t only work with wood, but also with plastic, fiberglass or drywall. They are often subcontractors of builders and can prepare the layout of a project or perform joinery. They can build stairs, mantles and furniture, make, install and fix doors, beds, wardrobes, shelves and bookcases, but they can also make tables, build sheds, or fix squeaky floorboards. Whether it’s the bedroom or kitchen - both minor and major renovations in nearly any part of your home will often require the craftsmanship of a carpenter, and the Houzz professional directory is a great place to find one for your project.

You may want to watch out for specialisations within carpentry - if your project is fixing something hidden behind the face of your wall, you want someone who specialises in rough carpentry. If it’s something visible and needs a beautiful finish, look for finish carpentry. Decking, window frames and (re)finishing kitchen cabinets all fall into this category, and so does heritage restoration. Depending on where you live, a carpenter can do wonders in bringing the features of heritage buildings back to life and help you preserve the historical character of your house. If you are looking for someone to build beautiful custom cabinetry, check out the cabinet makers and joinery category instead - that’s a specialty better left to the experts!
