"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 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."

"Creations Construction completely transformed our kitchen and living room in Encinitas. The open-concept design they helped create made our home feel twice as big. Everyone from the designer to the crew was polite and professional. We’ve already recommended them to two neighbors!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

Many people, including professionals in the field, use baluster and spindle interchangeably to describe the vertical components of a railing (or technically, a balustrade). However, there are subtle or distinct differences, depending on who you ask. The most common interpretation is that spindles are thin or delicate versions of balusters.

Hiring a woodworker can be expensive, depending on the job, but it’s very often well worth the investment. Woodworkers are able to provide custom pieces of furniture and handmade construction to present a finished product that is exactly to your specifications. If you have a specific vision for a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture or home feature, the cost of hiring a professional woodworker is worthwhile. Plus, you’ll often get a higher quality product than what you could buy in stores for a fraction of the price.

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.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.
