"Rogelio was a fantastic contractor to work with when creating a balcony railing. He responded promptly to every question, arrived exactly when he said he would and completed the project in 1/2 a day as planned. I would highly recommend him again for any stair or railing projects."

Customers say: Quick response

"it was not a remodel, but there was no other option for me to choose. The work that was done was miscellaneous in nature. It was prep work for a listing to be put on the market for sale post a tenant move out. So painting, microwave put in fixtures of door handles face plates, just a checklist of a number of items. It was wonderful working with Mike. He was kind he was polite. He was on time gave an estimate stay to it. It was very detailed when certain things came up certain plumbing issues sent me pictures and gave me descriptive information. Will definitely be working with him again and a very enjoyable experience."

"Brett installed a fireplace mantle for me and I asked him about a bigger project. He was so great to work with! I came in below budget and he was excellent at being creative to make my vision come to life! His side kick, Ryan is a fantastic woodworker! Very precise and skilled. I look forward to working with the two of them for an even bigger project. Before and after creating my library wall and mud room wall. We still need to install the gliding ladder but Brett will come back to help me with that."

"Neal and Ryan are true professionals. They made custom media cabinets to my precise specifications. They also matched upper cabinets exactly ( style and stain) to my lower cabinets in other areas. Additionally, they installed crown molding in three rooms. If you are unsure of something, they also give great design advice. They were always on time and cleaned up when they left. I can't say enough about them."

Woodworking FAQs, answered by experts

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.

If you don’t have a power saw with a blade where you can adjust the angle, you could use a miter box and hand saw to make the cuts. The miter box contains wide slots to support the piece of baseboard and other narrow slots to accommodate the blade of the hand saw. However, it’s tough to make non-standard cuts beyond 30 or 45 degrees when using a miter box.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

While carpenters and woodworkers perform similar tasks, their focus differs. A carpenter is typically responsible for the structural woodwork involved in construction, such as framing, installing sheathing, hanging kitchen cabinets, and installing trusses. In contrast, a woodworker handles more intricate and custom projects, like building custom furniture, installing wainscoting, and creating detailed interior trim and moldings. Based on these definitions, many woodworkers can perform the tasks of a carpenter, but it's always best to discuss your specific project with a professional to ensure they have the necessary skills.

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.
