Carpenter in Kolkata — Make, Fix & Fit, Booked on the App

Need a wardrobe built to your wall, a wobbly bed fixed, or old furniture made to look new? Zaruri Hai brings a verified carpenter to your door in Kolkata — for custom furniture, repairs, wood polishing, modular kitchens, doors and wall-mounting — booked in two taps. Clear pricing, quality materials, and a free site visit to quote bigger jobs.

Three things a Zaruri Hai carpenter does

• Make — custom wardrobes, beds, TV units, kitchen cabinets, storage and modular kitchens, built to your measurements.
• Fix — repair wardrobes, beds, drawers, hinges, chairs, tables, doors and locks.
• Refinish & Fit — polish and re-laminate old furniture, and wall-mount TVs, shelves and fittings.

One app for a single hinge or a full bedroom set.

How carpentry on Zaruri Hai works

Different from a quick repair — bigger jobs follow four steps:

1. Book & describe — open the app, tap Carpenter, and tell us the job.
2. Visit & measure — for custom or large work, a carpenter measures on site and discusses your design.
3. Clear quote — you get an itemised price (materials + labour, or labour only) before work starts.
4. Make, install & clean up — work is done on site or in the workshop and fitted neatly at your home.

What custom furniture can you make?

Built to order, to your exact space and style:

• Wardrobes — hinged, sliding, walk-in, with loft storage
• Beds — box, storage, hydraulic, with headboards
• TV & wall units, display and book shelves
• Kitchen cabinets and modular kitchens
• Shoe racks, crockery units, study tables, storage benches
• Office furniture — desks, partitions, storage

If you can picture it for your room, we can build it.

Made to your measurements

Ready-made furniture rarely fits Kolkata flats well. Custom carpentry uses every inch — awkward corners, low lofts, narrow rooms and alcoves become usable storage. You choose the size, layout, material and finish; we build to fit.

Modular kitchen carpentry

Full modular kitchens — base and wall cabinets, tall units, drawers and shutters — built and installed for your layout (L-shaped, U-shaped, parallel or straight). Smooth soft-close drawers, durable shutters and fittings sized to your appliances.

Which material should your furniture be?

The board decides cost, look and life. A quick guide:

• Plywood — strongest and most durable. BWP/BWR (waterproof, termite-resistant) grade for kitchens and damp areas; MR grade for dry rooms.
• MDF — smooth and even, ideal for painted (Duco) finishes, but heavier and not water-friendly.
• Particle board — cheapest, used in ready-made furniture; least durable and weak with moisture.
• Blockboard — light and stable for long spans like doors and shutters.
• Solid wood — premium, long-lasting, and the costliest.

Tell us your budget and room; we'll recommend the right board.

Which finish: laminate, veneer, Duco or polish?

The finish sets the look and upkeep:

• Laminate (sunmica) — durable, scratch-resistant, hundreds of designs, best value.
• Veneer — a real-wood surface for a rich look; needs polish/coating to protect it.
• Duco / PU paint — a smooth, premium painted finish in any colour.
• Polish (melamine/PU) — for solid wood and veneer, bringing out the grain.

We'll match the finish to your style and how much wear the piece will take.

What hardware do we use?

The fittings decide how furniture feels over years. We use quality hinges, telescopic drawer channels and soft-close fittings (brands like Hettich, Hafele and Ebco on request), plus sturdy handles, locks and stainless-steel fittings that don't rust in Kolkata's humidity.

What furniture can you repair?

Most damage is fixable — often far cheaper than buying new:

• wardrobes — sagging shelves, broken hinges, stuck sliding doors
• beds — loose joints, broken slats, squeaks, hydraulic faults
• drawers and channels that jam or fall out
• chairs, sofas (frame), tables — wobble and cracks
• cabinets, dressing tables, recliners, bookshelves

We tighten, replace parts and rebuild so it's solid again.

Should you repair or replace?

A simple rule:

• Repair if the frame is solid and only fittings, joints or surfaces are damaged — usually a fraction of the cost of new.
• Replace if the board is water-damaged, sagging throughout, or the piece no longer fits your needs.

Not sure? The carpenter inspects and tells you honestly which is worth it.

Door, lock & window work

Wooden door repair and installation, alignment of doors that stick, hinge and aldrop (kundi) fitting, door lock installation and repair, door closers, and wooden window frame repair. Small fixes that bring back security and smooth use.

Wood polishing & furniture refinishing

Old furniture doesn't need replacing — it needs reviving. We re-polish, re-laminate or Duco-paint dull, scratched or dated wardrobes, beds, doors and tables, so they look new for a fraction of the replacement cost. Better for your wallet and less waste.

Wall-mounting & fittings

Drill-and-hang done right — TV units, wall shelves, mirrors, frames, soap holders, cloth hangers and wooden panels — fixed securely with the correct anchors, level and aligned, without cracking your wall.

How much does furniture repair cost in Kolkata?

Repairs are charged per item after a quick check. Indicative market ranges:

*Plus materials if needed. Exact price shows in the app after inspection.

How much does custom furniture cost?

New furniture is usually priced per square foot, by material and finish. Indicative ranges:

*Final quote depends on size, board and finish — given after measurement.

Labour only, or material included?

Your choice, and we keep it clear:

• Labour only — you supply the wood, board and fittings; you pay only for the carpenter's work.
• Material + labour — we source quality materials and fittings and quote an all-in price.

Either way, you approve the full cost before anything begins.

Will I get a quote before work starts?

Yes. For repairs, you get a price after a quick check; for custom or large jobs, a carpenter measures on site and shares an itemised quote. Work begins only once you approve — no advance, pay after.

Are your carpenters verified and skilled?

Yes. Every carpenter is background-verified and experienced in furniture making, repair and finishing. You get a skilled professional who measures right, builds clean, and leaves no mess — not a rough hand who damages more than they fix.

Is there a warranty on the work?

Yes. Workmanship comes with a service warranty — if a repair or fitting fails within the window, we revisit and fix it free. Hardware and materials carry their own brand warranty.

Do you handle homes, offices and shops?

All of them. We build and repair for homes, offices, shops and commercial spaces — bedroom and living-room furniture, office desks and partitions, shop counters, storage and display units.

Which areas of Kolkata do you cover?

We send carpenters across the city and suburbs — New Town, Rajarhat, Salt Lake (Bidhannagar), Lake Town, Baguiati, VIP Road, Dum Dum, Shyambazar, Park Street, Ballygunge, Gariahat, Kasba, Behala, Tollygunge, Jadavpur, Garia and the entire EM Bypass corridor.
