Most carpentry in Parklands runs R350 – R650 per hour after a call-out fee of roughly R450 – R750. Bigger jobs price better as day rates (R2,000 – R4,500), and built-in projects are quoted per unit.

The salt-laden Table Bay air keeps timber thirsty and corrodes hinges and hardware faster than inland — so doors swell, fittings seize, and exterior wood greys quickly once sealant lapses. Carpenters here pair repairs with marine-grade sealing and stainless hardware as standard.

Yes — board replacement, sanding and resealing, balustrade repairs, and pergola work are all core carpentry. Note the boundary though: structural changes to what holds a deck up are engineering territory, and a trustworthy pro will say so rather than improvise with load-bearing timber.

Seal every face and edge — especially the top and bottom edges nobody sees — because unsealed timber drinks seasonal moisture and swells. The full treatment is easing the genuine tight spots, then sealing or varnishing all six faces of the door. Trimming without sealing just books next season’s repeat appointment.
