What Does a Carpenter Cost?
Carpenter costs depend on the type of work, duration, materials, and whether it is custom-made or standard. Most carpenters charge per hour plus a call-out fee. Larger projects like a full kitchen frame or staircase renovation are often quoted as a fixed price. Always request a written quote separating labour and materials.
What Does a Carpenter Do? Common Jobs
A carpenter handles a wide range of woodwork — from hanging doors and replacing window frames to building custom cabinets and renovating stairs. More specialised work includes interior construction, dormer windows, roof structures, and wooden floor installation. Some carpenters also handle exterior work like replacing fascia boards and outdoor doors.
Carpenter vs Handyman — What's the Difference?
A handyman handles smaller general tasks — assembling furniture, mounting shelves, minor fixes. A carpenter is specialised in woodwork and construction: building frames, installing doors, custom cabinetry, and structural timber work. If your project requires precision carpentry, wood joinery, or load-bearing timber, hire a carpenter.

Hiring a Carpenter — Solo or Company?
You can hire a solo carpenter or a carpentry company. Solo carpenters often offer competitive rates and personal attention. A carpentry company may have more capacity, specialised equipment, and multiple tradespeople. For smaller jobs a solo carpenter is usually ideal; for larger renovation projects a company with a team can deliver faster.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions.
What does a carpenter cost per hour?
Carpenter hourly rates vary by experience, region, and type of work. Call-out fees are charged separately. For larger projects, many carpenters offer a fixed project price. Compare quotes from multiple professionals.
What does a carpenter do?
A carpenter handles door hanging, frame replacement, custom cabinets, stair renovation, wood rot repair, interior construction, dormer installation, and wooden floor fitting.
How do I find a good carpenter in Amsterdam?
Compare verified profiles on SkilledContractors, check reviews, confirm insurance, and request quotes from at least three carpenters.
What is the difference between a carpenter and an interior builder?
A carpenter handles broad woodwork — doors, frames, stairs, structures. An interior builder (interieurbouwer) specialises in custom-built furniture, fitted kitchens, and high-end interior finishes. Many carpenters also offer interior building services.
How much does door hanging cost?
Door hanging costs depend on the number of doors, whether frames need adjusting, and the type of door. A carpenter typically charges per door plus call-out fee.
How much does window frame replacement cost?
Window frame replacement costs depend on material (wood, PVC, aluminium), size, and number of frames. A carpenter can advise on the best option and provide a detailed quote.
Can a carpenter build custom cabinets?
Yes — custom cabinet making is a core carpentry service. A carpenter builds fitted wardrobes, built-in shelving, kitchen cabinets, and other bespoke storage solutions to your exact measurements.
When do I need a carpenter vs a contractor?
Hire a carpenter for pure woodwork — doors, frames, cabinets, stairs. Hire a contractor (aannemer) when the project involves multiple trades and coordination. For a bathroom renovation you need a contractor; for replacing all doors in your home, a carpenter.
