Pricing and What to Expect

I believe pricing should be straightforward, fair, and easy to understand — no inflated material markups or mystery numbers. I price work based on time, skill, and project complexity, so you know what you’re paying for before we get started.

Most projects fall into one of the categories below.

  • $150 minimum
    Includes up to one hour of labor
    Additional time billed at $80 per hour

    This applies to smaller repairs, punch-list items, and projects with limited scope.

  • $350

    Best for multiple small tasks or focused projects that can realistically be completed in a single morning or afternoon.

  • $650

    Ideal for larger repairs, finish carpentry, installations, or projects where uninterrupted time leads to better results.

  • For remodels, custom carpentry, and multi-day work, I provide project-based estimates after an on-site walkthrough or detailed consultation.

  • Materials are billed at cost — no markup.
    You’re welcome to supply materials yourself, or I can handle purchasing to save time and ensure compatibility.
