"I used Jimmie for a fence install around the perimeter of my property. I had to coordinate with 3 neighbors. Jimmie was great right from the start. His quote was specific to each neighbor. One of my neighbors wanted something a little different and Jimmie was able to incorporate that into the job. All 3 neighbors and me were super satisfied. We did the project at a time when supplies were difficult to get. He was able to all supplies and negotiated the price to a reasonable level. More important, though, he did a fantastic jobâ ¦.very high quality work done in the estimated time frame for completion at a reasonable price. I canâ t give him a high enough recommendation. I will be using him for other projects. You should, too!"

"This contractor is great! He works very hard, always pleasant and responsive. He keeps the work area tidy and has been very careful with our landscaping. The deck project is shaping up fast and he has made some construction suggestions that are valuable. I would definitely hire him again and would have no hesitation recommending Robert Almekinder Construction to our neighbors and friends."

Woodworking FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

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.

It is common for a contractor to ask for a down payment before starting a project, especially for jobs that require purchasing materials and equipment or hiring a crew. The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost. While a request for up to 50% is not unusual, a contractor should not ask for more than that, and you should never pay for a project in full before the work has begun. To protect yourself, always discuss payment terms before starting and have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

Hiring a woodworker can be expensive, depending on the job, but it’s very often well worth the investment. Woodworkers are able to provide custom pieces of furniture and handmade construction to present a finished product that is exactly to your specifications. If you have a specific vision for a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture or home feature, the cost of hiring a professional woodworker is worthwhile. Plus, you’ll often get a higher quality product than what you could buy in stores for a fraction of the price.
