Customers say: Quick response

"Nathan Long did a fantastic job applying crown molding in my bathroom. It really added the finishing touch to my newly remolded powder room. A few things that I appreciated from Mr. Long was his professionalism an understanding to my needs as a homeowner. He called and texted before he arrived with an ETA. He ran into a bit of traffic so he texted stating he would be 10 minutes late. When he arrived he was very friendly and he introduced me to his associate. Mr. Long was sympathetic to my previous experience with a finisher who totally botched up the job because he simply was not qualified to perform the task. Me. Long was honest with his skills and he showed me pictures of his work from other jobs. My Mouldi g turned out beautiful. It was installed in less than an hour. Small job, but the other guy monkeyed around for over four hours and nothing was done. I canâ t say enough about Long Mouldi g and trim. He is fantastic all around."

"The company did not hesitate to evaluate my job expectations from a complete replacement to a resurrection of the existing structure. This gave me far more flexibility on how to address the over all problem. I highly recommend Buckley Builders."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Whether or not it’s easier to cut wood when it’s wet versus dry depends largely on the type of tool you use and the wood you’re cutting. For example, a chain saw should still be able to cut through wet wood with relative ease, but it may be more difficult to maneuver due to the wood fibers sticking to the chains of the saw. 

However, you might want to avoid cutting wood entirely when it’s wet if you’re pruning your tree. Sawing a wet tree that you don’t plan on removing can also encourage bacterial and fungal growth and decay.

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.

Before hiring a carpenter, the most important thing is to make sure they are properly qualified and insured for the job. It’s more than reasonable to ask your prospective carpenter for customer references, as well as about their licensing and insurance. You should also consider choosing a carpenter that specializes in your specific project area to ensure high-quality results. 

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. 

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.
