Hire a carpenter by recording a video

Custom carpentry is hard to put into words — grain, joints, trim profiles, and how a piece needs to fit a space. Showing the spot on video gets you matched with carpenters who do that exact style of work.

What to film for a carpentry job

A good carpenter can quote far more accurately when they see these things in your video:

  • Show the area where the work will go and slowly measure with your hand or a tape for scale
  • Capture existing trim, molding, or cabinetry you want the new work to match
  • For repairs, zoom in on the rot, cracked joint, or damaged section
  • Show the surrounding finish (paint, stain, wood type) so it can be matched
  • Describe the look you're after while you pan across the space

What carpenters look for

  • Whether it's finish carpentry, framing, or a repair
  • The style and material to match existing work
  • Complexity of the cuts and joinery involved
  • Access and how finished the surrounding space is

Frequently asked questions

How do I show what I want built?

Film the empty space, hold your hands or a tape measure up for scale, and describe the piece as you pan. If you have a photo of a similar piece, mention it. Carpenters can picture the job and quote materials and labor from that.
