My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Featured Reviews for Local Carpenters in Chicago

Top Drawer Carpentry LLC
Local Carpenters in Chicago
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
Local Carpenters in Chicago
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.”
Nest Construction
Local Carpenters in Chicago
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.”
