"Dreamcraft is one of the most professional Contractors I have ever had. The work started on time and ended ahead of time. The job required integrating the old with the new which required novel approaches to make it look good. I could not be happier with the outcome. Cost was reasonable and communication was excellent Great Job all around!"

"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."

"We have used Ryan and Neal (Precision Cabinetry) twice now. the first time was 5 years ago when they did our modern kitchen. They were on a budget and the finished product is gorgeous (we think). We were able to get the details we wanted, like dovetailed birch drawers. Having had such a good experience, we used them again recently for our laundry room. They presented a number of finishes based on our requests, and we finally decided on gloss white. It came out amazing! They are easy to work with, clean and professional!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

The pro you need to hire to build your shed depends on the shed you purchase. A local handyman or general contractor can help build a prefab shed for you. However, if you’re looking for a custom shed, contacting a shed builder near you is the best option. Make sure you get quotes from 3 pros to decide on the best pro for your job. 

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.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.
