Inside he executed an interior remodel which involved painting five rooms and totally remodeling a bathroom including tile and marble. Would not want anyone else to touch my house"

"Russ was absolutely fantastic to work with. His craftsmanship is superb. And his professionalism stood out from day 1. We has several project delays due to other contractors, but Russ was always dependable and flexible. He even took time to talk directly with the flooring crew to make sure everything aligned perfectly with his work. As a woodworker myself, I know what ton look for when it comes to precision and detail. Russ's corners were tight, his finishing flawless, and his overall workmanship truly artistic. His eye for design and sense of style helped guide us towards what would actually work for our space, and the results exceeded all expectations. We now have our dream stair case! If you want someone who takes pride in their work, communicates well with other trades, and treats every project like a piece of art, Russ is the guy you want. I can't recommend him enough"

"Matt and his team are consummate professionals with great eyes for detail and precision. With no drawings or pictures from me, Matt understood what I was asking for, drew up a plan, executed the plan and it turned out exactly as I had envisioned. I think it's rare to find an independent businessman with vision, excellent listening skills and high professional standards. Matt and his workers have all of those. I highly recommend his company for any cabinet work."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

While you may have heard people use millwork and carpentry interchangeably, they aren’t the same. Millwork is a type of carpentry, which means that carpentry isn’t always millwork. You can tell millwork apart from other types of carpentry because it’s manufactured at a mill. Notably, casework is also confused with millwork. Casework is different because it refers to boxes like cabinets and bookshelves.

Wooden soffits, when properly cared for, can last between 10 and 25 years, depending on the type of wood and the climate you live in. Certain wood types will last longer than others, and you might want to consider the cost of replacing soffits when you break down the total project cost. While an initially higher-priced material might seem counterintuitive, it can make more financial sense if you don’t plan on moving. 

Some states require carpenters to be licensed to perform forms of carpentry, such as framing. The license requires a certain amount of experience and to pass an examination. In states that don’t require carpenters to be licensed, they must be licensed as a contractor if they work independently rather than solely as a subcontractor under a licensed builder. Use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to find out whether a potential carpenter is licensed in your state.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.
