Featured Reviews for Local Carpenters in Downers Grove

Garman Painting Custom Decorating
Local Carpenters in Downers Grove
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 8, 2015
“Mike painted most of the interior of my house. He was very professional in all respects from the signing of the contract through completion. He repaired several coats of peeling and cracked plaster resulting from a leak (prior to new roof) from the attic into the living room ceiling. The job is so perfect that there is no longer any evidence of the leak. He helped me pick out colors and suggested a couple of color changes resulting in a more attractive appearance than if I had insisted on my original choice. He even replaced two ceiling light fixtures as well. I highly recommend Mike Garman for your painting needs!”
Top Drawer Carpentry LLC
Local Carpenters in Downers Grove
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 15, 2014
“Beautiful work! Top Drawer added crown molding to our family room addition. He matched the existing molding in the living room and dining room perfectly. His price was very fair and his attention to detail was exactly what I was looking for. Very professional.”
P J Carpentry

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 2, 2015
“I hired PJ Carpentry to replace trim around a three car garage. He was responsive, did not go over estimate, was clean, and did an excellent job. I requested use of Azek and he used the material that I requested. I recommend PJ carpentry.”
Splash Carpentry
Local Carpenters in Downers Grove
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 18, 2016
“Adrian is not just a master carpenter - he's an artist! He completely rebuilt my staircase and matching kitchen banister. We are installing a new hardwood floor and he was able to match the stain on the stairs and posts to the new flooring. His attention to detail is wonderful. He went out of his way to take care of other parts of my house, sealing areas with plastic to make sure we didn't have dust everywhere! He and his worker (whose name I cannot remember) were always courteous, clean and did an absolutely wonderful job! My flooring is being installed as we speak but the focal point will be this awesome staircase. He made recommendations when I was unsure how I wanted the staircase to look and I just followed his suggestions and was so happy I did. I LOVE his work!”

We especially appreciate being consulted while the project was being executed to ensure that the work met our expectations. Midwest Trimworks is punctual, professional, highly-skilled and creative.

Nest Construction
Local Carpenters in Downers Grove
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 6, 2013
“Nest Construction Took my plain, boring deck area and transformed it into a fantastic outdoor living space. The owner, Bryan, and his team constructed bush and tree planters, privacy screens, and couches. Bryan stayed within the agreed-upon budget and the work is very high quality. I would recommend Nest Construction for all types of patio/deck work as well as interior carpentry projects.”
Imperial Architectural Millwork & fine cabinetry
Local Carpenters in Downers Grove
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 5, 2014
“Eric did a great job on remodelling aspects of my kitchen - I asked him to add crown moulding to the tops of the cabinets, and various other pieces of bespoke millwork including some very nicely made legs for my island unit. He also installed some crown moulding in my living room - not your ordinary off the shelf stuff - a bespoke design of stepped moulding. I am quite a detail freak and I was impressed with Eric's attention to detail and willingness to work with me on designing these bespoke elements. Patience and a creative eye of this sort is hard to come by. Price wise he was perfectly fair too I thought, so I'd certainly recommend him.”

  1. Reach out to the pro(s) you want, then share your vision to get the ball rolling.
  2. Request and compare quotes, then hire the Carpenter that perfectly fits your project and budget limits.

Carpenters are highly skilled craftsmen who specialize in working with wood and other materials to create, repair, and install a wide range of structures and items.

They can:

  • Build custom furniture pieces, such as tables, chairs, and cabinets, tailored to your specific needs and preferences.
  • Construct and install frameworks for buildings, including walls, floors, and doorframes.
  • Undertake renovation projects, such as installing new doors and windows or repairing damaged wooden structures.

By using their expertise, carpenters bring your design ideas to life and ensure precise measurements, high-quality craftsmanship, and attention to detail in every project.

If you are choosing between hiring a carpenter vs contractor in Downers Grove, here is an overview of these two professional types:

  • A carpenter is a skilled worker who specializes in working with wood. They excel at tasks like cutting, shaping, and installing wood materials.
  • On the other hand, a contractor is more like a project manager who oversees the entire construction process. They handle budgeting, hiring the right people for the job, and ensuring that the work is done properly.

So, if your project primarily is working with wood, such as building custom furniture or installing wooden fixtures, a carpenter is the best choice.

However, if your project is larger in scope and involves multiple tasks, such as renovating an entire space or managing a construction project, a contractor might be more suitable. They will take charge of coordinating different tradespeople, managing the budget, and ensuring that everything runs smoothly.
