The timeline for completion depends on the scope and complexity of the project. We will provide an estimated timeline during the design proposal stage, and we work closely with our clients to ensure the project is completed on time and within budget.
Do you offer any warranties or guarantees?

There are several factors that contribute to the price of a piece of custom carpentry, including:
Materials: The cost of materials can vary greatly depending on the type of wood, hardware, and other materials used. Some types of wood, such as cherry or walnut, may be more expensive than others, and the price can also be affected by the quality and availability of the wood.
Design complexity: The more complex the design of the piece, the more time and skill will be required to create it. This can also affect the cost of the piece.
Size: Larger pieces of custom carpentry will generally require more materials and more time to create, which can increase the price.
Customization: The level of customization required will also affect the price. For example, if the piece requires specific measurements or unique features, this may require more time and skill to create, which can increase the price.
Labor costs: The amount of time and skill required to create the piece will also contribute to the price. Skilled carpenters charge more for their time, but this ensures a high-quality and durable piece of custom carpentry.
It's important to remember that the price of custom carpentry can vary greatly depending on the project and the carpenter you work with. It's always a good idea to get a detailed estimate and discuss any questions or concerns you may have before beginning a project.
