Common questions
I am a furniture maker, can I list here?▼
Yes — but a separate page if you want to sell finished furniture. The /become-a-carpenter-uganda page is for hire-by-the-job carpenters: doors, cabinets fitted in client homes, repairs, window frames, custom built-ins. If you sell finished pieces from a workshop, contact us about the freelancer marketplace instead.
How much do carpenters earn in Uganda?▼
Door repair is UGX 60,000 to 120,000. A full wardrobe build is UGX 600,000 to 1.5M. Kitchen cabinet installation is UGX 800,000 to 2.5M. Carpenters who specialise in built-ins and quality work charge well above general handymen.
Who supplies the timber?▼
Either the client buys it themselves or you buy on their behalf and add transport. We make this explicit on the booking screen so the conversation does not start awkwardly.
How does payment work?▼
Money is escrow-held. Buyer pays via mobile money or card before the job, you complete the work, buyer confirms, we send your share to your mobile money minus a small platform fee.
How fast does verification happen?▼
One to three working days. Faster if your photos are clear and your phone number is reachable. We do call you to confirm a few details before going live.
