Ros S. says, "So I was allowed to select only 3 out of 5 about what I liked in working with Mr. Eric. But I was VERY HAPPY ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿ˜†โ˜บ๏ธ with it all. - Punctuality: Arrived before 8:00. I was trying to beat him by trying to get some of my steps inโ€ฆhe went right to work & I got 1:92 miles in 32:45 - Work Quality: Made recommendations as to best effect and most lasting materials (wing brackets for toilet paper holder to stay secure, different material for best picture hanging, read & applied all needed steps for camera lightbulb. Secured the hoses on the hangars after attaching hangers outside, added a decorative flair to the porch lights upon hanging. - Professionalism: ๐Ÿ’ฏ very patient & willing to adjust pictures or move them, after I thought โ€œthatโ€ was where I wanted them. Provided salient feedback to assist in where some pictures looked best. - Responsiveness: From the moment the hits started coming in, he answered every question. EVERY question. Timely and with no guessing as to what he stated. - VALUE: For me, he was worth his weight in gold. Priceless is how I would describe any great handyman. I was blessed to have experienced this one. If you are NOT a โ€œFix itโ€ lady nor your husband a โ€œ Fix itโ€ man and you have or have had projects sitting around for years, put your few dollars & cents aside and get the work done. He did it. I feel like Iโ€™m in a brand new home as I was finally able to get some things in place it looks & feels more like home (some ladies out there may understand). A great handyman is hard to find. I canโ€™t say enough, how pleased I am with the work Eric did. The toilet paper holder had been broken for 3 years and sitting in the same broken position. Ladies especially, consider giving Eric your business. Iโ€™m so happy I could cry ๐Ÿ˜ญ ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ Thank you Jesus.๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ˜‡"See more

Dan M. says, "Our dishwasher had come loose from the counter, and remembering the struggle the original installer had putting it in, I figured I would find someone with experience to fix it back in rather than try to do it myself and end up having to call someone anyway. I ended up connecting with Troy at Salvation Builders, sent him a few photos, and setup a time to come out. He arrived on time, and within a couple of minutes had figured out the issue with the brackets that came loose. He then explained how to fix the clips and secure it, and within 10 minutes he was done. In hindsight, sure I could have done that myself especially after he explained it, but sometimes the knowledge you gain by hiring someone is more valuable. In addition to getting our appliance secured correctly, I found someone reliable for other projects that will come up from time to time. Hire Salvation Builders for those projects around the house you can't or don't have time to do โ€“ you won't be disappointed!"See more

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How much does it cost to have kitchen cabinets installed?

In any kitchen, the cabinets are the main focus, so you want to make sure new or replacement cabinets are installed correctly. A professional carpenter can properly, securely mount new cabinets to the wall; the national average cost for this service is $7,725, although the cost varies widely depending on the type of cabinets, their material and their size, and the accessories you add. A typical fee is $70 per linear foot to remove existing cabinets and assemble and install new ones; the cost is less if you do the demolition and removal yourself. Stock cabinets are the least expensive to have installed, ranging from $75 to $400 each; semi-custom cabinets range from $150 to $900 each; and custom cabinets cost from $500 to $1,400 each. Wood cabinets are more expensive than those made from plywood or medium-density fiberboard (MDF) and finished with a laminate. Wood cabinets range in cost from $80 to $160 per linear foot. Laminate-finished cabinets cost $35 to $75 per linear foot, on average.

How much is custom cabinetry?

Custom cabinets can be built for any room, including bedroom closets and built-in armoires. Measured carefully and built precisely, custom cabinetry can increase storage and beautify any room. The national average for building custom cabinets ranges from $500 to $1,200 per linear foot. The cost is highly variable because there are so many styles, colors, glazes and other options. In general, the linear footage of the cabinets, the materials used to build them, and the cost of the labor will determine the cost. Solid wood costs more than plywood and wood veneer, and costs vary among different types of wood; maple and cherry cabinets are more expensive than pine. Glass-front cabinets can cost more, as can decorative hinges, handles and door pulls, which can cost $2-$45 each; choose carefully to stay within your budget and pull off the exact look youโ€™re going for. Some carpenters also charge for installation, on average $100 per cabinet box. Additional molding and trim, such as crown molding at the ceiling, cost an average of $70 per 8-foot section, and adding finished ends to exposed cabinets averages $100-$200.

Do you tip cabinet installers?

In general, home service providers such as electricians, plumbers and contractors are professionals who donโ€™t expect tips. They expect to do a job for you for the specific price they quoted. Of course, they may appreciate a tip for a job particularly well done or for which theyโ€™ve gone beyond whatโ€™s normally expected, such as completing the project early or under budget. Even better than a tip, itโ€™s always appropriate to leave a positive review online after a good experience.

Who is a carpenter and what do they do?

Carpenters are skilled craftsmen who build things out of wood. Depending on what the carpenter builds, they may be referred to by various names. A framer is a carpenter who puts up the framing on a house. A trim or finish carpenter installs the finishing touches of prefabricated or custom trim and detail work once a house has been built and the walls are up. A furniture maker or woodworker builds furniture โ€” such as tables, beds and dressers โ€” out of wood. A cabinetmaker is a carpenter who builds custom and semi-custom wood cabinets. If youโ€™re having a home built or remodeled, your general contractor will either provide or subcontract the carpentry work for the framing, cabinets and trim. You can hire a carpenter directly to update the trim in your home, build you a piece of custom furniture, or repair or replace your wood cabinets.

Do carpenters build houses?

Carpenters are trained to work with wood. That means that any part of your home that is built of wood is very likely to involve a carpenter. Framing carpenters will put up the wood that makes up the bones of your home. If youโ€™re having a wood floor installed, it may be done by a carpenter โ€” although being a carpenter is not a requirement to install flooring. Trim, baseboards, wainscoting and any other detail work is typically installed by a finish carpenter. The wood boxes of custom cabinets will be built and installed by a carpenter.

Although all of these components in your new or remodeled home are built by carpenters who specialize in building things with wood, a general contractor typically oversees construction of the entire house. If the general contractor is also a carpenter skilled in all these areas, they may well construct your entire home. More often, the general contractor subcontracts out the various building stages to different individuals, including carpenters.
