"I have worked with Ryan and his company for many years. As an active Realtor, I need quality workmanship and people I can depend on. Ryan always delivers for us. Whether it is a small job, deck repair/replacement, fencing or remodeling project he always comes through on time, on budget with shining colors and a great attitude that pleases my clients and makes me look good, too."

"Fernando and his amazing crew are totally professional, skilled, courteous, knowledgeable and - my personal favorite - reliable! Their work habits are impeccable, they leave the work area neat as a pin even if they are going to return the following day. The finished product was even better than I had envisioned. Their pricing is more than fair and they go above and beyond the normal expectation to provide exactly what the customer wants. I highly recommend FRG Handyman for any project they consider themselves qualified to perform. You will not be disappointed. Side note: The fact that every one of them is polite, kind and absolutely stunning in appearance is just an added positive note :) They will be called on by us for any future project we might have."

"We love our new deck, and it’s all thanks to SGB. It was a pleasure working with SGB from start to finish. They are communicative, timely, and professional. Most importantly, they stayed within the original quoted price. Can’t wait to work with them again on future projects!"

"Jose was friendly and professional. My job was not considered large by any means (re-hanging a gate) but he completed it in short order and cleaned up after himself. I really appreciated the fact he wanted to insure I was satisfied with the work because he needed to cut an inch off of the gate.....which I was. I would certainly call him again."

Woodworking FAQs, answered by experts

Balusters provide vertical support to make sure your stair railing and/or deck is as sturdy and safe as possible. These spindles help hold up the railing so people walking up or down stairs have something strong to hold onto. They can also act as a unique design element if they’re custom-made to suit a specific style or size requirement.

Tipping contractors, builders, or general contractors is not customary or expected. Unlike many service professions where tipping is built into the payment structure, construction professionals typically charge a full rate for their services. However, you may choose to tip a worker for exceptional service, such as if they go above and beyond, stay late to meet a deadline, or work on a holiday weekend. Before offering a tip, it's a good idea to ask about the company's policy, as some prohibit their employees from accepting gratuities. If you want to show your appreciation for a job well done without giving a cash tip, consider writing a positive online review or offering to serve as a reference for potential new customers.

Carpentry is a skilled trade and requires many years of experience to acquire the skills necessary to do the job efficiently and correctly. Because every home requires a carpenter at some stage of the building process, carpenters are typically in high demand. The higher the skill level, the higher the hourly rate the carpenter can charge.

Professionals ensure safe, thorough repairs using quality materials, extending the life of your structure.

No, you do not usually tip a carpenter for their work. However, if you’ve been very happy with the level of service and quality of work, a 10% to 20% tip would likely be accepted with thanks. If you’re not sure, it can help to discuss the carpenter’s policy or preference for tipping before beginning the project.
