"I recently hired Craig Haden to paint the trim on my home, as well as to touch up the interior before I sold the house. Craig's meticulous approach involved scraping, sanding, priming, and painting the trim. He also painted the soffits, which required him to remove and later reattach the gutters. During this process, he discovered some rotted wood behind the gutters and efficiently patched it before reattaching them. Craig took extra steps to ensure the new paint adhered properly by applying vinegar to the gutters. The interior touch-ups Craig performed made the house look brand new, significantly enhancing its appeal. Thanks to his excellent work, my house sold within a week of being put on the market. Throughout the project, Craig maintained a clean and organized work environment, ensuring there was never any mess for me to deal with at the end of the day. I am extremely pleased with Craig's hard work and dedication. I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a skilled and reliable handyman."

"The man I talked to was very professional and timely. However, he explained that this particular job was beyond the scope of what their company does. I would certainly use them on another 'issue'.

Woodworking FAQs, answered by experts

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

While carpenters and woodworkers perform similar tasks, their focus differs. A carpenter is typically responsible for the structural woodwork involved in construction, such as framing, installing sheathing, hanging kitchen cabinets, and installing trusses. In contrast, a woodworker handles more intricate and custom projects, like building custom furniture, installing wainscoting, and creating detailed interior trim and moldings. Based on these definitions, many woodworkers can perform the tasks of a carpenter, but it's always best to discuss your specific project with a professional to ensure they have the necessary skills.

Floor joists provide support and stability to the flooring installed above them, whether it be hardwood, tile, or carpet. They’re essentially horizontal beams that hold up the subfloor and everything that lies on top of it. Floor joists also help evenly distribute weight across their structure so that it’s shared between walls, beams, and your foundation.

The boards between floor joists are called bridging or blocking boards. These are the shortest pieces of wood in the flooring system—with beams being the longest and joists sitting somewhere in the middle—and they serve to reinforce the joists and help provide even support to the flooring above. Bridging specifically helps cut down on uneven and creaking floors in your living area.
