Customers say: Quick response

"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"

"Everything went exactly how it should have. C.J. communicated very well through the whole process and did exactly what he said he was going to do. I rented the equipment and he exceeded my expectations with how quickly he got it done. He trenched and replaced 540 feet of water line in one day. He cleared many, many trees and bushes and leveled an area for my 3,200 sq. ft. shop in two days. I cannot say enough good things about his quality of work, professionalism, and communication."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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. 

Joists and beams are both part of the flooring system above your basement, with the beams spanning the length of your home and getting support from vertical posts underneath, and joists usually spanning half the width of your home with no support posts underneath. The floor joists provide even support to the subflooring and flooring above, and they distribute that load to the beams. The beams then distribute that load down through the support posts to the foundation.

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.

Most contractors do not charge for meetings, but it can depend on the project, mainly if it includes detailed consultations or project planning. For general estimates, homeowners shouldn't expect to be charged. Always ask up front about meeting fees to avoid surprises and ensure you know what’s included in the process.

Board and batten is a type of wainscotting that uses wider boards that are placed vertically, and it has a much more rustic aesthetic than wainscotting. Common wainscotting styles are raised-panel, flat-panel, and beadboard. Wainscotting is more intricate and will typically use more elegant, subtle trims compared to the more farmhouse-inspired boards of board and batten styles.
