"After a brief discussion on kitchen layout we decided on a design. I started on the demo. After that Larry made and installed beautiful maple cabinets with dark inlays. He also set us up with names for other contractors to finish out our dream kitchen."

"Jonathan built a trellis in our backyard and was able to save the vine while also building a trellis that is sturdy and will be long lasting. He had great suggestions on how to build the trellis so it won't rot. His communication is great and the quality of his work is top notch. I appreciate the value of his work and wouldn't hesitate to hire him for other projects."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

Spindles on a deck may also be called balusters or pickets. While not as important to the structural support of the deck as the rail posts, they play a critical role in ensuring the deck is safe to use by closing in large gaps in the railing. For this reason, balusters must be no more than 4 inches away from one another.

It is not recommended to cut or drill into LVL (laminated veneer lumber) beams. As major structural components of a home, their composite structure can be compromised by alterations, which can weaken them and lead to cracking over time. If you must make modifications to an LVL beam, it is crucial to consult a structural engineer or general contractor first. A professional can advise on whether it's safe and provide specifics on the appropriate bit size, depth, and directionality for any necessary drilling.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry.
