Carpentry jobs, big or small
I started as a carpenter, and small jobs are still welcome. One sticking door included.
Most small carpentry jobs are in lived-in homes. A door that’s started catching since the new flooring went down. A cupboard door that’s never shut properly. A gap that’s been bugging you for months. Small things, but they’re what make a place feel unfinished.
I give them the same care as a big job. If you’re not sure whether something is worth fixing or replacing, send me a photo and ask. You’ll get a straight answer.
