Simple things with an ordinary screwdriver. If the wood is broken or the piece is heavy, leave it to the carpenter.
A door or wardrobe door hanging crooked? Tighten the hinge screws. That fixes many cases.
If a door or drawer sticks in the humid months and is fine later, the wood has probably swollen with humidity, not broken.
A hollow sound, a soft spot when you press, fine dust or tiny holes? It could be termites. Call pest control before the carpenter.
Photograph the pieces or the problem, count what needs assembling, and photograph the old lock if it's being replaced.
Only the carpenter can say for sure, but this helps you understand what they tell you.
Humidity swells the wood, especially bathroom doors and doors that touch the floor. A carpenter can adjust it or plane the bottom slightly, and seal the edge against damp.
The MDF has soaked up water from a leak or a damp outside wall. Get the plumber to fix any leak first, then replace the panel.
A sign of termites. They eat wood from the inside, so the surface looks fine. Don't move the piece much; call pest control first, then the carpenter replaces the damaged wood.
Usually the runner has come out, or the drawer has swollen with humidity. Runners can be replaced cheaply.
Jeddah's sun, salt and humidity are hard on outside doors and wooden pergolas. It needs a fresh protective coat.
Screws loosened after a move. Tighten them; if the wood has broken around a screw, you need a carpenter.
The kind of job changes how you're charged.
New flat-pack furniture, or taking apart and reassembling a room or a whole flat.
A door, hinge or drawer, or wood damaged by damp or termites.
For wardrobes against an outside wall, leave about 2 cm between them and the wall so air can flow and damp doesn't build up.
Water swells wood, and damp wood attracts termites. Dry the area after any leak.
Tap the bottoms of doors and the backs of wardrobes, and look for fine dust or holes.
Re-coat outside wooden doors and pergolas every one to two years. Try a drop of water: if the wood soaks it up, the protection has worn off.
Ask before any work starts. A good carpenter won't mind.
Agree how you'll be charged at the start, and get the price on WhatsApp.
Send photos and a list of every piece before they come, so the price is clear.
For kitchens and bathrooms, ask for moisture-resistant boards, and whether they'll seal the door edges.
If cupboards or shelves go on the wall, ask whether screws and wall plugs are included.
If something leans or creaks after assembly, will they come back and fix it for free?
Look at real photos of past work and reviews from earlier customers.
One sign on its own doesn't prove anything, but take care if you see them.
If they say "we'll see later" and just start, think twice.
The termites will move into the new wood. Pest control has to come first.
And they leave without adjusting it. Ask them to fix it before you pay.
If you pay everything first, you have nothing left to hold back if the job isn't done properly.
Most carpenters charge per piece or per room. These are rough prices; use them to spot a quote that's way off, not as fixed prices.
| Service | Rough price |
|---|---|
| Small piece (shelf, side table) | From SAR 30 |
| Bed | SAR 70 – 150 |
| Wardrobe | SAR 60 – 200 |
| TV unit | SAR 90 – 210 |
| Whole bedroom (take apart and reassemble) | From SAR 300 |
| Kitchen (take apart and reassemble, or fit a wooden kitchen) | SAR 400 – 1,100 |
| Door repair | SAR 150 – 600 |
| Fitting a new door | SAR 90 – 600 |
| Whole flat (take apart and reassemble) | From SAR 500 |
💡 A whole bedroom or a kitchen: send the carpenter photos and a list of the pieces and ask for one price for everything. It's usually cheaper than paying per piece.
📦 Small flat-pack pieces are often cheaper through home-service apps, while whole rooms and repairs suit an independent carpenter. Compare before you decide.
A rough guide from 3 sources in Jeddah (November 2026): prices published by a home-service app, and price tables from Jeddah carpenters and furniture assembly companies. We couldn't find enough real Jeddah customer jobs with prices, so treat these as rough. The final price is agreed between you and the carpenter. Laqeeni doesn't set prices or take commission.
High humidity swells wood, especially in summer and in bathrooms. It usually needs a small adjustment or a light plane and sealed edges, not a new door.
A hollow sound when you tap the wood, a soft spot, fine dust, tiny holes, or mud-like lines. Call pest control before repairing the wood.
No. Laqeeni is a directory that connects you with the carpenter directly. You agree and pay between you.
