Winter · November – February
Wood is a moisture-sensitive material. Summer heat opens joints, monsoon humidity swells them. Winter dryness is when wood behaves best — new joinery locks tight, polish cures fast, and the finish holds.
Carpenters also have more availability from mid-November through late February; the pre-Diwali rush is over, wedding season is quieter for interior work, and quotes tend to be more flexible.
Solve24 carpenter rates. Material is always separate unless a joint quote is agreed.
| Job | Cost 2026 (₹) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Furniture assembly (flat-pack) | 300 – 800 | Per assembly |
| Door repair / lock change | 250 – 700 | Standard door |
| Wardrobe making (per sq ft) | 900 – 1,800 | Material separate |
| Modular kitchen (per sq ft) | 1,200 – 2,500 | Material separate |
| Bed repair | 400 – 1,200 | Depends on damage |
| Window framing / sash repair | 500 – 1,500 | Per window |
| Hinge / handle replacement | 150 – 400 | Per fixture |
| Wood polish (per sq ft) | 80 – 180 | PU/melamine |
These are the ones where winter timing directly changes the quality or price.
A 100 sq ft wardrobe at ₹1,200/sq ft is ₹1,20,000 labour. Add ₹80,000–₹1,50,000 material and the total is ₹2–2.7 lakh. Timeline is usually 3–5 weeks from confirmation to delivery.

Furniture assembly ₹300–₹800. Door repair ₹250–₹700. Wardrobe making ₹900–₹1,800 per sq ft. Modular kitchen ₹1,200–₹2,500 per sq ft. Wood polish ₹80–₹180 per sq ft.
Wood is at its most stable size in dry winter air. Polish and paint cure evenly. Carpenter schedules open up post-Diwali, and quotes are 10–20% lower than pre-Diwali rush.
By end of January. A modular kitchen takes 3–5 weeks from material lock to installation. Booking too late means you push into wedding season material shortages.
No — every 2–3 years is enough. A top-up polish at ₹80–₹120 per sq ft restores shine without a full sanding cycle. Full re-polish with sanding is done every 5–7 years.
Plywood for wardrobes and moisture-prone areas (kitchen, bath vanities) — lasts 15+ years. MDF for painted furniture in dry areas — good finish, 10 years. Particle board is the cheapest but lasts 5–7 years and does not tolerate any moisture.
