"Brett and his team did fantastic work! The first job was repairing a balcony that was suffering from water intrusion. The 2nd job was installing/framing out sunroom windows that would actually open and close; turning the sunroom into a functional space (instead of a sauna). It is been great to walk-in there and enjoy my morning coffee! Highly recommend and very satisfied with Brett’s work."

"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

The boards between floor joists are called bridging or blocking boards. These are the shortest pieces of wood in the flooring system—with beams being the longest and joists sitting somewhere in the middle—and they serve to reinforce the joists and help provide even support to the flooring above. Bridging specifically helps cut down on uneven and creaking floors in your living area.

There are several mistakes you should avoid when using butcher block countertops. Don't place hot pots or pans directly on the surface, as this can crack the wood and cause permanent damage. Avoid leaving wet items sitting on the surface, and wipe up liquids as soon as possible to avoid stains.

While you may have heard people use millwork and carpentry interchangeably, they aren’t the same. Millwork is a type of carpentry, which means that carpentry isn’t always millwork. You can tell millwork apart from other types of carpentry because it’s manufactured at a mill. Notably, casework is also confused with millwork. Casework is different because it refers to boxes like cabinets and bookshelves.

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 don’t need a cutting board. In fact, cutting is the original purpose of butcher block countertops. That said, wood is porous and can harbor germs. You’ll need to clean your countertop thoroughly after use. Knives can also scratch the surface. This adds to the patina of the wood, but not everyone likes the look—in which case, you may want to use a cutting board.
