Featured Reviews for Local Carpenters in Lake Bluff

Garman Painting Custom Decorating
Local Carpenters in Lake Bluff
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!”

“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.”

“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.”
Splash Carpentry

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!”

Nest Construction
Local Carpenters in Lake Bluff
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.”
Nelson Custom Builders Inc.
Local Carpenters in Lake Bluff
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 13, 2013
“We hired Eric at Nelson Custom Builders, to finish our unfinished basement. Approximately 1100 sq ft. While their proposal was not the least expensive, the quality from day one is truly remarkable. Eric is very creative and not only allows for changes, but works with your ideas and his experiences to enhance your original plans to the next level. He does not nickel and dime you either. If the change does not cost more he does not charge you, if there are changes, he is fair and does not have a set price for moving those or adding that. The crew shows up each and every day as planned, and clean up the entire work area at the end of each day. There's no smoking in his work sites and assures that his crew is respectful. The project is done on time and he continually let's you know if there are any cost changes. Our basement exceeded any expectations we had. We have referred Eric and Nelson Custom Builders onto our friends and their stories are identical to ours and are so happy with their projects. I have used them on at least 2-3 other remodeling/fix up projects. When we redo our master bathroom shortly, there will be only one phone call and that will be to Eric!”

  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 Lake Bluff, 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.
