Carpenter in Wrocław: built-ins for a new flat

Wrocław completes twice as many new flats per thousand residents as the national average, and the flats are smaller than average. So in Jagodno and Nowy Dwór a carpenter gets a specific task: fit a wardrobe in the hallway or shelves over a desk without swallowing the room. Measuring first, then design, cutting the boards last. Measure only once the walls are finished. Every coat of skim and every skirting board shifts the size by a few millimetres.

In Nadodrze and the city-centre tenement houses, restoration comes up more often. An old table, chairs with worn seats, a dresser with peeling veneer. The carpenter will glue the veneer back, fill the gaps and refinish the lacquer, and a chair gets new upholstery. Attach a photo of the whole piece and a close-up of the damage, and the quote will be closer to reality. For chairs, say how many there are and whether you're choosing the fabric or leaving it to the carpenter.
