Carpenter San Francisco: Expert Carpentry Services

Need a carpenter who shows up on time and does it right? 40 years of experience handling everything from custom cabinets to trim work throughout San Francisco and the Bay Area.

Why Carpentry Matters in San Francisco Homes

San Francisco homes are beautiful, but they're also old. Victorians from 1905, Edwardians from 1912, and even "newer" homes from the 1940s are 80 years old now.
Old homes need carpenters who understand how they were built. Walls aren't plumb. Floors aren't level. Nothing is square. Standard measurements don't work. You need someone who can work with what's there and make it look right.

Common Questions About Carpenters

How much does carpentry work cost?

Call (415) 660-8162 or email info@nietoswoodworking.com for a free consultation. We'll discuss your project, answer questions, and provide an honest assessment of what's possible.

Do you do small jobs?

Yes. We accept projects starting at $500. Small jobs often lead to larger ones, and we'd rather earn your trust on a small repair today than miss the chance to do your kitchen remodel tomorrow.

Can you match existing trim in my old house?

Yes. We take profiles of your existing trim and mill new pieces to match. Common in historic San Francisco homes where maintaining original details matters.

How long does installation take?

Small jobs (installing a door, fixing trim) take a few hours to a day. Cabinet installation takes 1-3 days for a kitchen. Custom built-ins take 2-5 days depending on complexity.
