Small floor areas, new walls
A flat in Gdańsk is on average a dozen or so square metres smaller than the national average. Hence all the orders for made-to-measure furniture: floor-to-ceiling hallway units, a wardrobe in an alcove, shelving above the door. More than twice as many new flats per thousand residents are completed here as the average, so the carpenter often measures freshly plastered walls. They're straighter than in old buildings, but a margin for a filler strip is left anyway.
The other kind of work is repairs in short-term rental flats, of which the city has plenty. Guests scratch worktops, chip edges, peel the veneer on cabinet doors. The owner wants it fixed between bookings without replacing the whole piece. The carpenter will touch up the varnish, re-glue veneer or wrap the fronts in film so the kitchen looks fresh. Take close-up photos of the damage and say what the furniture is made of.

Questions about a carpenter in Gdańsk
How do I get ready for measuring a built-in?
Clear the alcove or section of wall where the unit will go, and check where cables and sockets run. If you have an idea for the shelf layout, sketch it, even on a scrap of paper. The carpenter will measure the rest on site.
How much does a carpenter cost in Gdańsk?
The site's price list has ranges worked out for Warsaw, which for Gdańsk are a guide. The carpenter gives the amount in the offer, with travel included or separate. Made-to-measure furniture also involves materials, so ask what the offer covers.
Can a scratched worktop in a rental flat be saved?
Often yes, if the scratches don't go right through the veneer. Solid wood gets sanded and varnished again. With chipboard you're left with a local repair or wrapping in film. A close-up photo helps the carpenter judge it straight away.
Who do I pay and who issues the invoice?
