Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 January 2014
“Beautiful work! Top Drawer added crown molding to our family room addition. He matched the existing molding in the living room and dining room perfectly. His price was very fair and his attention to detail was exactly what I was looking for. Very professional.”

“I hired PJ Carpentry to replace trim around a three car garage. He was responsive, did not go over estimate, was clean, and did an excellent job. I requested use of Azek and he used the material that I requested. I recommend PJ carpentry.”
Splash Carpentry

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 July 2016
“Adrian is not just a master carpenter - he's an artist! He completely rebuilt my staircase and matching kitchen banister. We are installing a new hardwood floor and he was able to match the stain on the stairs and posts to the new flooring. His attention to detail is wonderful. He went out of his way to take care of other parts of my house, sealing areas with plastic to make sure we didn't have dust everywhere! He and his worker (whose name I cannot remember) were always courteous, clean and did an absolutely wonderful job! My flooring is being installed as we speak but the focal point will be this awesome staircase. He made recommendations when I was unsure how I wanted the staircase to look and I just followed his suggestions and was so happy I did. I LOVE his work!”

“I have used this Company many times over the past couple of years. I have been completely satisfied for every project they completed which range from floor refinishing, deck rebuilding, painting, electrical etc.. There is nothing they can't do and they are meticulous and always leave my house in perfect condition. I highly recommend them.”
Nest Construction
Carpenters and Joiners in Lake Forest, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 October 2013
“Nest Construction Took my plain, boring deck area and transformed it into a fantastic outdoor living space. The owner, Bryan, and his team constructed bush and tree planters, privacy screens, and couches. Bryan stayed within the agreed-upon budget and the work is very high quality. I would recommend Nest Construction for all types of patio/deck work as well as interior carpentry projects.”
Superb Woodwork Restoration
Carpenters and Joiners in Lake Forest, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars17 December 2023
“Hugo created new custom wood doors for our German Tudor home in 2023. They are so beautiful and fit the design of our home perfectly. Hugo is wonderful to work with. The first two pictures are of the new door and the last picture is the old storm windows from 1941 that we had Hugo replaced. This window was a floor to ceiling French door on the interior and instead of putting a door in when the house was built they put storm windows. We wanted to be able to use it as access to a new patio.”

“Excellent carpentry! Mack did a fantastic job helping to design and build a custom mantel for my client project. His estimate was timely and was even able to do the job a week earlier than I requested! I'll definitely be working with him again.”

“We have been working with Ashland Millwork for a couple of years and recently completed our 5th project with them. the sales team is first class and they hit the mark for their product knowledge and scheduling, both of which are a must for us. They have an amazing library of millwork profiles and we have also designed custom knives for higher end homes.

“Chris created some built-in shelves and a desk for us in our third bedroom/office and fixed some door issues we were having. Overall I was very happy with the work completed and I'd recommend Chris for other jobs. He was communicative, courteous, on time, and completed the work when he said it was going to be done. His prices are competitive and he's willing to work with you to figure out a solution to your needs with the constraints you have.”

The terms "joiner" and "carpenter" are often interchangeable, but they have distinct areas of focus. A joiner specialises in crafting and assembling wooden components in a workshop, such as doors, windows, and furniture. A carpenter is more involved in on-site construction work, including framing, installing structural elements, and fitting pre-made joinery components. Carpenters work with various materials and possess broader construction skills beyond woodworking.
Joiners utilise a range of tools to carry out their woodworking tasks, including bench tools such as chisels, planes, saws, and files for shaping and cutting timber. They also make use of power tools like routers, power saws, drills, and sanders for efficient and precise work. Measuring and marking tools such as tape measures, squares, marking gauges, and spirit levels ensure accurate measurements, while assembly and fixing tools like clamps, hammers, screwdrivers, and nails are used to assemble and secure wooden components together.
Carpenters in Lake Forest are skilled tradespeople who work with different types of wood to construct, install, and repair furniture. Carpenters also install doors, windows, cabinets, and other wooden fixtures, ensuring proper fit and alignment. They assess and repair damaged wooden structures, replacing broken components to restore functionality and appearance. Carpenters interpret blueprints to understand project scope, measurements, and required materials.
The hourly rate charged by carpenters in Lake Forest can vary depending on the project and the specific tasks involved. On average, carpenters charge between £20 to £40 per hour. However, it is recommended to obtain quotes from a professional carpenter in Lake Forest to get a more accurate estimate.
