Carpentry Pricing Methods

Carpenters use different pricing strategies based on project type:

1. Hourly Rate
Best for repair work, remodeling, or projects where scope is uncertain. Separate rates for rough vs. finish carpentry.

2. Per Linear/Square Foot
Common for trim work, decking, framing. Example: $8-15 per linear foot of crown molding installed.

3. Fixed Bid
Quote a complete project price based on detailed scope and materials list. Requires accurate estimating to avoid losses.

4. Cost-Plus
Bill actual material costs plus labor at an hourly or percentage markup. Common when working with contractors or on custom projects.

What to Include on a Carpenter Invoice

Professional carpentry invoices should document:

Project Details
  • Project location and description
  • Type of carpentry (rough, finish, custom)
  • Specific areas or rooms worked
  • Drawings or plans reference number
Labor Breakdown
  • Rough carpentry hours and rate
  • Finish carpentry hours and rate
  • Specialized work (custom built-ins, stairs)
  • Helper/apprentice labor if applicable
Materials Detailed
  • Lumber species, grade, and dimensions
  • Quantities and board footage
  • Hardware and fasteners
  • Adhesives, finishes, stains
  • Delivery charges
Project Specifications
  • Wood species used
  • Finish or stain type
  • Custom measurements
  • Installation method
Warranty & Care
  • Workmanship warranty period
  • Wood care instructions
  • Seasonal adjustment expectations
  • Maintenance recommendations

Lumber and Materials Pricing

How to price carpentry materials:

Lumber Markup Most carpenters mark up lumber and materials 15-40%:
  • Dimensional lumber: 20-35%
  • Hardwood lumber: 15-30%
  • Sheet goods (plywood, MDF): 25-40%
  • Specialty woods: 15-25%
Material Sourcing Either purchase materials yourself and bill with markup, or provide a materials list for customer to purchase. Purchasing yourself gives quality control.

Waste Factor
Add 10-20% waste factor to material quantities depending on project complexity. Complex angles or custom work requires higher waste allowance.

Hardware & Fasteners
Screws, nails, hinges, drawer slides: mark up 30-50% or include as a flat fee. Small hardware adds up but is tedious to itemize.
