Carpenter and joiner — carpentry and wooden structures
Carpentry means restoring old wooden windows that no longer close properly, a new floor on joists instead of a creaky one, or wood paneling in an attic. You can choose a carpenter or joiner yourself — by work photos, prices and client reviews — or describe the job in an order and get responses.
Carpenters and joiners
How much carpentry costs
What affects the price
Wood species and drying
Pine, spruce, oak and ash differ in price and are worked differently, and kiln-dried timber costs more than green wood but warps and cracks less.
Condition of the old wood
A window or door with several coats of old paint, rot at the bottom of the frame or loose mortise-and-tenon joints takes more work than simply sanding and varnishing.
On site or in the workshop
Parts are often made on machines in a workshop, and sashes and door leaves are taken there for restoration, so removal and delivery may be charged separately.
Area and base
Floors on joists and tongue-and-groove paneling are usually priced per square meter, while leveling joists on an uneven base or a frame for the paneling costs extra.
Finish and hardware
Oil, wax, varnish or several coats of paint, new hinges, handles and window seals may be included in the cost or paid for separately.
Prices come from specialists' profiles on Nexperity and update automatically. You agree the final price with the specialist directly.

How to choose a carpenter
- 1
Finish or framing carpenter
Window restoration and fine finishing are finish carpentry; rafters, joists and frames are framing work. Look for your exact job in the services and similar work in the portfolio.
- 2
Which wood and how dry
Ask what wood the carpenter will use and how it was dried: gaps appear between boards of damp timber over time, and a new sash may stop closing tightly.
- 3
Protection from damp and rot
For rafters, joists and anything resting on concrete or near moisture, ask what the wood will be treated with and how the joists will be separated from the screed.
- 4
Inspection and a breakdown
Rot under paint does not show right away, so the exact cost of a restoration is usually given after an inspection. Ask for removal, repair, finish and installation to be listed separately.
- 5
Joints and gaps in the portfolio
Look at the photos of work up close: how the corners of casings and paneling are fitted, whether the gaps between sash and frame are even, whether the floorboards have gaps.
What to put in the order
What needs doing: restoring, repairing, replacing or making something new
What exactly: windows, doors, a floor, rafters or paneling — number, sizes or area
The current condition: old paint, rot, creaking, gaps, loose joints
What wood and finish you want, and whether the material is already bought
The site: an apartment, a private house, an attic or a balcony
Whether sashes or doors can be taken to a workshop or everything must be done on site
Questions about Nexperity
How Nexperity works — separately for clients and for specialists
For clients
Nothing. Searching for specialists, sending requests, posting orders and receiving responses are free.
No. You agree the price and the payment method with the specialist and pay them directly. Nexperity does not take payments and is not a party to your deal.
A request goes to one specialist — from their profile. An order is posted for everyone: specialists send you responses, and you choose which one to accept.
How the specialist will do the task, a price — fixed, a range, hourly or “on request” — and, optionally, an estimated timeline.
30 days from publication: all that time it is visible in the feed and specialists can send responses. The exact end date and time are shown on the order in your account. From that moment the order is closed and a response can no longer be accepted. You can cancel it earlier, and if no specialist turned up, post a new one.
Yes: you can hide your name and photo in an order. The anonymity lasts until acceptance — the specialist whose response you accept sees your name and photo. The task description is public: anyone visiting the site can read it.
Only after acceptance — when you accept their response or they accept your request. And only the contacts you chose to show.
After acceptance you see the contacts the specialist chose to show, and they see the ones you chose. You can also message on Nexperity when the chat is on: on an order you decide that, on a direct request the specialist does.
Once the work is done, mark the order or the collaboration completed in your account — then you can say whether you recommend the specialist. A review can only be left for a collaboration that happened through Nexperity: one per specialist, which you can change or delete at any time.
For specialists
Nothing for now: this is the free period, and no subscription is needed yet. Nexperity takes no commission on deals — you settle with the client directly.
Sign up, fill in your specialist profile and add your services — each with a category, a description and a price. Once the profile is complete, it appears in search and on the category pages.
Two ways: clients send you requests from your profile, which you can accept or decline; and you see public orders in your categories in your account and can respond to them.
You describe how you will do the task and give a price and, optionally, a timeline. The client compares responses and accepts one.
Contacts set to “Public” are visible to everyone on your profile. A client sees contacts set to “After connection” once you accept their request or they accept your response. “Hidden” ones are not revealed in new connections: a contact already revealed to a client stays visible to them.
Each service has a fixed price, a range, an hourly rate or “on request”. Prices show on your profile and in search results, and you agree the final price with the client.
Through search and the category pages of your services. The order depends on your clients' reviews — how many of them recommend you — and in search also on how well your services match the query.
A photo, a description, your region and way of working — online or in person — your contacts and a portfolio: photos of your work, each with a short caption if you like.
A client leaves a review after completed work, and only for a collaboration through Nexperity: they say whether they recommend you and may add a few words. Each client counts once, however many times you work together.
