- Why are my apartment doors suddenly sticking and hard to close?
- In Dubai, rapid changes in humidity between the hot outdoors and heavily air-conditioned indoors cause wood to expand and contract. This swells the door frames and misaligns the hinges. We fix this by planing the door edges, adjusting the hinges, and reseating the lock strike plates.
- Can you assemble large IKEA Pax wardrobes?
- Yes, our carpenters are experts at assembling complex flat-pack furniture like the IKEA Pax system. We ensure the heavy frames are properly anchored to the concrete block wall (a critical safety requirement in Dubai) and that sliding doors are perfectly aligned on their tracks.
- Do you build custom MDF cabinets for kitchens?
- Absolutely. We design and install custom MDF and plywood cabinetry. If you need to modify your existing kitchen to fit a larger refrigerator or add a custom kitchen island, we handle the cutting, joining, and edge-banding to match your current finishes.
- My wooden flooring is bubbling and lifting. Can it be repaired?
- Laminate or engineered wood flooring lifts when it absorbs moisture (often from a hidden AC leak or excessive mopping) or when it wasn't installed with an adequate expansion gap. We can remove the damaged planks, fix the subfloor, and install matching replacement boards.
- Can you repair scratches and gouges in solid wood dining tables?
- Yes, we offer wood restoration services. We sand down the damaged surface, apply wood filler if necessary, and use stains and varnishes to seamlessly blend the repaired area with the rest of the furniture piece.
- Do you install smart door locks on wooden doors?
- Yes, we retrofit traditional wooden doors to accept modern biometric and smart locks (like Yale, Samsung, or August). This requires precision chiseling of the door core and frame to ensure the electronic deadbolt slides smoothly without jamming.
- Can you build an outdoor wooden pergola for my villa?
- Yes, we construct custom pergolas and gazebos using weather-resistant woods (like treated Meranti or Teak) designed to withstand the harsh UV rays and summer heat in the UAE. We also apply high-quality UV-protective sealants to prevent the wood from greying and cracking.
- How much does a carpenter charge per hour in Dubai?
- For small repairs like hanging pictures or fixing a door hinge, we typically charge a standard call-out or hourly fee. However, for furniture assembly, door installations, or custom cabinetry builds, we provide a fixed, transparent quote based on the scope of the project before any work begins so there are no surprises.
