Cristina

Lisbon, Sep 2026

I’m very satisfied with Francisco’s work. He built a big custom piece of furniture for the TV and also made chairs for us, and the quality is very good. Communication was easy, he told us how long it would take and delivered on time. The price felt reasonable, not as expensive as other options I checked.

Anton did a great job with a couple of small repairs around my apartment, plumbing, resealing the sink, fixing electric switches, and other small bits and pieces. Everything was done in one session and everything was great. Communication was very good, he was very punctual, and the price felt fair.

Colares, Nov 2025

We are extremely satisfied. For the children’s room, they built bunk beds, an office shelf, and wardrobe doors - all done very neatly and precisely, with excellent preparation and follow-up. Afterwards, we entrusted them with additional projects: new doors for existing walk-in closet, and a custom system they designed and executed perfectly. They also implemented our architect’s design for a shelving system in the home office and even installed bookshelves. In total, we completed five projects with this carpentry team - every single one outstanding. They are incredibly pleasant and friendly, and truly the best craftsmen we’ve ever worked with.

Frequently Asked Questions

What expats want to know before hiring carpenters for pergolas and decks in Lisbon.

Are there English-speaking carpenters for pergolas and decks in Lisbon?
Yes, and more do as the expat community grows. The hard part is knowing who is reliable before you book, so every one we list is reviewed by other expats who have actually used them.
What should I check before hiring carpenters for pergolas and decks in Lisbon?
Read recent reviews, be clear about exactly what you need, and agree the scope and an estimate in writing before any work starts. For anything regulated, check they hold the right credentials for the job.
What is the most important thing to know before booking?
Be clear about what you want and get the price and scope agreed up front, so there are no surprises. Reading other expats' reviews is the quickest way to find someone who does the job well and communicates clearly.
What should I avoid when hiring carpenters for pergolas and decks in Lisbon?
Avoid paying the full amount up front (a deposit can be fair), anyone who will not give a clear quote, and unusually cheap prices that get padded with extras later.
