About the job
About carpentry in Metro Manila
Carpentry in Metro Manila covers doors, cabinets, shelves, built-in wardrobes, ceilings, and the wooden parts of a roof or staircase. A karpintero (carpenter) measures the opening, cuts and fits the wood on site, and finishes the edges. Most home jobs are small: a door that rubs on the frame, a drawer that sticks, a shelf that needs new brackets, or a base cabinet that has to fit a wall that is not straight.
Condos add rules that houses do not have. Many buildings require an admin work permit before cutting starts, and some restrict drilling into shared walls, ceilings, and fire doors. Cutting and hammering are often limited to weekday daytime hours. Ask the building admin for the rules and share them with your carpenter before the first visit. Sawdust travels down corridors, so ask whether the work can be done with the unit door closed and whether dust sheets will be used.
What is included
- A visit to measure the job and check the wood, hinges, and fixings before any cutting starts
- Repair or replacement of a door, drawer, hinge, or shelf bracket, as agreed
- Trimming, planing, or re-hanging of a door that rubs or sticks
- Cutting, fitting, and fixing of the new piece on site, level and square
- Sanding of cut edges and a basic finish where the job calls for it
- Cleanup of sawdust and offcuts, with leftover wood left in one place
- Advice on moisture and termites where the wood is exposed to damp

Your tasker's quote is the price you pay. Ranges update as real jobs are booked through Taskly.
| Job | Typical range (PHP) | What changes the price |
|---|---|---|
| Carpenter day rate, Metro Manila, labour only | ₱800–₱1,200 per day | AEDO Construction's 2026 daily rates, dated August 2026. It is a contractor's budgeting range, not an official rate. Helpers are listed separately at ₱600–₱700 per day. |
| Half-day visit for doors, drawers, or shelves | ₱1,500–₱2,400 | Typical range for Davao City from handledph.com, August 2026. Davao is outside Metro Manila, so it is a cross-check only. Materials are extra. |
| Small door or lock-side fix, one visit | ₱800–₱1,500 | Estimate. No published Philippine price was found for this job. Ask for a fixed price before the visit. |
| Kitchen base cabinet, installed, per linear metre | ₱8,000–₱12,000 | Marine plywood with PVC laminate, with installation and standard hinges. The figure is from CabinetMakerPH's 2026 guide, cited by AEDO in September 2026. Countertop and sink are extra. |
| Ceiling or wall panel repair, one visit | ₱1,000–₱2,000 | Estimate. Ceiling work costs more than door work because of access and the time needed to make good the finish. Ask for the price per panel. |

How it works
How booking carpentry works
- 01
Describe the job and send photos. Say whether the wood is solid, plywood, or laminated, since that changes the repair and the price.
- 02
Ask the carpenter to measure on site and to state whether the price includes wood, hinges, screws, and sealant. Get the total in writing before work starts.
- 03
Taskly taskers are verified with ID and NBI checks before they take jobs. Ask your building admin whether a work permit is needed, and arrange it before the visit.
- 04
Check the finished piece before the carpenter leaves. Doors should close without catching, and shelves should sit level and be firmly fixed to the wall.
Before you book
Tips for booking carpentry
- Measure every opening at the top, middle, and bottom. Frames are rarely square, so a single measurement often gives a poor fit.
- Ask for materials and labour as separate lines. Solid hardwood or marine plywood can cost more than the labour, so compare them on their own terms.
- Choose marine plywood for kitchens and bathrooms. Ordinary plywood swells when it stays damp, and a swollen cabinet door sticks.
- Book outdoor or balcony work for the drier months from December to May when possible. Wood that stays wet takes longer to seal and finish.
- Booked through Taskly, card payment is held until the job is done. If the job isn't done as agreed, report it within 7 days and Taskly arranges a free redo, or refunds the held payment if it can't be fixed.
Questions
Carpentry in Metro Manila — FAQs
- How much does carpentry cost in Metro Manila?
- In Metro Manila, carpentry typically runs ₱800–₱3,000, averaging about ₱1,500. Taskly shows each tasker's hourly rate up front so there are no surprises.
- Are Taskly taskers in Metro Manila verified?
- Yes. Each tasker's government ID and NBI clearance is checked by the Taskly team before they're approved to quote. You can also see ratings and completed-task counts on each profile.
- How do I book carpentry in Metro Manila?
- Browse verified taskers, compare rates and reviews, pick the person you want, and book online — choose a time and pay by card. Taskly holds the payment and releases it to your tasker after the job is done.
- How do I pay, and are there fees?
- You pay by card through Stripe when you book — no cash needed. Posting and booking are free: you pay the agreed price, with no fee added at checkout.
- How much does a carpenter charge per day in Metro Manila?
- AEDO Construction's 2026 labour guide puts carpenters at ₱800 to ₱1,200 per day in Metro Manila and ₱650 to ₱900 in the provinces. Those are budgeting ranges from a contractor's guide, not official rates, and the legal minimum wage is a separate figure. Small repairs are often quoted per visit rather than per day, so ask which basis applies before you agree.
- Should I hire a carpenter or a handyman for a door?
- A carpenter is the better choice when the work involves cutting, fitting, or replacing a whole door or frame. A handyman can usually tighten hinges, adjust the strike plate, or swap a knob. Describe the problem in detail so the tasker can send someone with the right tools for the job.
- Do condos need a permit for carpentry work?
- Many do. Check with the building admin before the job starts. Common rules include a work permit, set hours for drilling and cutting, and a deposit for damage to common areas. Some buildings also limit work on fire doors and shared walls, so ask about those separately.
- Why does my door stick only in the rainy season?
- Wood swells when it takes in moisture, so a door can rub during the rainy season and loosen in the dry months. A carpenter can plane the edge and seal the cut. If the frame has rotted or the door is warped, the fix is replacement. Check whether rain is coming in around the frame, since that water causes most of the damage.
- Can I supply my own wood or hardware?
- Often yes, but ask first. Some carpenters will not take responsibility for a piece they did not source, since a wrong size or a weak board leads to rework. If you bring your own materials, confirm who pays for returns and for any extra cuts.
- What if the carpenter damages a wall or tile?
- Ask who repairs the damage before the work starts, and whether the quote includes patching. Take photos of the area before and after the visit. Report any damage to Taskly within 7 days of the job.
