How carpentry jobs should be done
Carpentry covers everything from hanging a door to building a staircase. A good carpenter measures carefully, checks existing timber for rot or damp, and uses timber suited to where it will go, especially for anything outdoors or structural. Older Dublin homes rarely have square walls, so fitted work needs scribing to look right.
What usually affects the price:
- Materials (softwood, hardwood, MDF or sheet materials)
- Bespoke or standard sizes
- Amount of finishing and painting
- Removing old fittings
- Number of items and access
What to check before you hire a carpenter
- Ask to see photos of similar finished work
- Confirm who supplies materials and at what cost
- Check whether painting or finishing is included
- For structural timber, ask whether an engineer is needed
- Agree lead times for made-to-measure items

Frequently Asked Questions
Do carpenters paint their work?
Some do, but painting is often a separate job. Check whether your quote includes priming and finishing.
What is the difference between a carpenter and a joiner?
Joiners usually make items in a workshop, while carpenters fit on site. Many tradespeople do both.
Can rotten timber be repaired rather than replaced?
Often, yes, by cutting out the rot and splicing in new timber, as long as the source of moisture is fixed first.
How long does fitted furniture take?
Usually two to six weeks to make, then a few days to fit.
How much does a carpenter cost in Dublin?
It depends on the job. Our carpentry cost guide lists typical Dublin prices for each service, from €80–€200 per door, labour for internal door hanging upwards.
