What it takes to be a Carpenter?

Answer 1

If you’ve got a big job that needs completion, you want someone to do it right. This is especially important when it comes to your house. You live there, so you want quality. But how do you know which carpenters are going to provide quality and which carpenters are going to do a shoddy job? This list will help you whittle out the cowboys from the master craftsmen.

-Step 1: References

Just as if you were hiring an employee, you will need to ask for references. When you are interviewing carpenters, they should provide a portfolio of work, showing what they have done and what they are capable of doing. Ask them for some references to confirm their suitability for your project, but don’t accept only mobile numbers, you need to know the person actually exists.

-Step 2: Word of mouth

The best way to find a good carpenter is word of mouth. If you know someone who used a carpenter and they did the job well, on time and for reasonable money, then go with them because at least you know what the quality will be like – there will be no surprises.

-Step 3: Quotation

When you are interviewing carpenters, ensure you get a quotation. This should include material and labor and tax. Also, get an estimate about how long it will take. Of course, this is just an estimate, but it will give you a general idea of the timeframe you are looking at.

-Step 4: Payment

No carpenter should ask for full money upfront. Usually, you would expect to pay no more than 30 percent up front, and the rest can be paid when the work is done. If the carpenter asks for significantly more, it may be wise to steer clear. You don’t want him doing a runner with your money.

-Step 5: Cost

A true professional is going to charge you a lot of money, if they seem to be undercharging, then there is usually a good reason for it. Expect to pay for what you get, if you pay for cheap, the work will be cheap, if you pay for quality, the work will speak for itself.

Hiring a good carpenter is going to be expensive, but if you make sure that the personal references check out, then at least you know you are paying for quality.
