Carpentry FAQ — pricing, process, materials, monsoon and after-care

These are indicative starting bands, not fixed packages. Custom furniture from ₹18,000 per piece. A hinged wardrobe from ₹22,000 for a roughly 6×8 ft band. A modular kitchen from ₹85,000 for a roughly 10 ft straight run. Doors and frames from ₹8,500. Carpentry renovations from ₹1,20,000. Typical project engagements from ₹55,000. The itemised quote comes after a free site visit. For what moves a kitchen or wardrobe number, read the kitchen cost guide and the wardrobe cost guide.

No. Size, carcass grade, shutters, hardware, internals, and site conditions change the total. We do not sell a city-average rate per square foot. Two quotes only compare if they list the same grade, thickness, and hardware.

Typically 40% advance to confirm and start, 40% when the work is delivered to site, and 20% on handover after the walkthrough. Large commercial jobs can use a different schedule, and that schedule is written in the quote.

Call, WhatsApp, or the form on this page. We aim to respond within 2 hours on working days. A free site visit and measurement usually follows within 48 hours on working days; visits can be arranged seven days a week when the building allows it. Then material samples, an itemised quote and a confirmed timeline, workshop build at Fort, installation, and a walkthrough. A single wardrobe is often about 7–10 days after approval. A modular kitchen is often about 12–18 days after approval. A full carpentry renovation is weeks, not a weekend — the quote states the timeline before you pay an advance.

Not for joinery if you can choose the layout and finishes with us on site. If you want a full-home concept, colours across every trade, or someone to run civil work, that is a designer’s job and we can execute their drawings. Read carpenter or interior designer for how we split that.

No. The craftsmen are in-house. The workshop is 208, Wakefield House, Ballard Pier, Fort, Mumbai 400001. We install across Mumbai, Thane, and Navi Mumbai. There is no second factory in the suburbs.

Carcass grade is chosen by zone. Kitchens and damp walls usually get marine ply or another moisture-resistant board. A commercial carcass is only for drier rooms, and only when the quote says so. Shutters are a separate line: laminate, acrylic, PU, veneer, or another finish you pick from samples. Solid teak and sheesham are for doors, frames, and statement furniture when the quote names them. MDF or HDF is for smooth painted or high-gloss faces, not as a silent substitute under a sink. Read materials we use, and the marine ply vs commercial ply guide, before you compare lump sums.

Soft-close hinges and drawer channels go in when the quote says so. Exposed board edges get edge banding, and sink or pipe cut-outs are sealed — that is how monsoon moisture gets into a carcass if it is skipped. The hardware brand and grade are written on the quote. The maker’s warranty is separate from our 1-year workmanship warranty. We do not claim one brand on every job.

Note walls that feel damp after rain, AC drip lines, rooms that share a wall with a bathroom, and where the sink and washing machine sit. We look at those on the visit before the cutting list is locked. Marine ply is moisture-resistant, not waterproof. An open edge or an active leak still damages the box.

Projects come with a 1-year workmanship warranty. Joints, fit, and finish defects from our carpentry are fixed at no charge in that period. It does not cover active plumbing leaks, damage after handover, or defects in materials you supplied. Hardware follows the maker’s terms where those apply. After handover, wipe spills — especially at the sink — and do not leave wash water sitting on an edge. Tell us early if a shutter swells, a hinge drops, or an edge lifts. We do not sell a separate cleaning contract.
