Carpentry and Joinery, what’s the difference?

Carpenters and joiners both work in the construction trade industry, and both deal with woodworking. There’s a subtle difference though- your local joiners are adept at building construction components (windows frames, doors, stairs etc.) in a workshop whereas your local carpenters do the installation of those components in an ongoing-job onsite. To help you decide on whether to employ a carpentry company or a joiner here are some of their common jobs:

Joiners near you can perform:

• Making of doors
• Making of window frames
• Creating fitted furniture, cabinets, cupboards and drawers
• Building stairs

Carpentry services include:

• Fitting floors
• Fitting staircases
• Fixing window frames
• Constructing roof trusses
• Constructing joisted floors
• Stud-works for building partitions

Normally, a skilled carpenter may also be a skilled joiner and vice versa. Thus, many carpentry companies also offer joinery services. If you find a carpenter who can do both, then contracting will be easier. Start browsing our listings of carpenters and joiners near you, and ask whether they offer both offer joinery and carpentry services.
