"We are very grateful for Russ?s professionalism and skill. He replaced a post, railings, balusters, and added additional hand rails and kick boards for us. All the dated stuff is gone. He has restored my faith in contractors. He was careful, communicative, friendly, and highly detail-oriented. He is easily the best contractor we have worked with in two states with three houses."

"We could not be happier with our new kitchen. It is beautiful! Our project, completed during the pandemic, had lots of challenges, including a slow and difficult insurance claim approval process, out-of-state supply chain delays, and other issues. The owner, Matt Simmons was great in keeping us updated and responding to our calls/texts. He is a highly ethical person who approaches his work, and the work of his staff, with integrity and professionalism. I highly recommend Simmons Cabinets."

"Heath Stairworks did a great job on our stairway. They added a beautiful hand rail and iron spindles. They listened to what we had in mind, made suggestions, and it turned out exactly how we wanted it. I would definitely use them again."

"John did an amazing job. He came in the day we called him to measure and recommend crown molding for our old home. A day and a half later, our house was transformed and looked 10 years younger! He also went above and beyond to cover challenging corners and built in book shelves. If you need crown molding help, Crowning Touch is the best in Sacramento!"

"It was fantastic! They came a month prior and gave an estimate, were right on target and didn't charge for anything else. They showed up on time and got right to work. They were just the nicest bunch of people. They did such a nice job, the front of the house looks so natural now. I can't say enough good things about them and we will definitely be calling them again for anything we need."

"Excellent! Nathan and his crew are craftsmen. Their work was meticulous. They exceeded our expectations. The crown molding throughout our home and the wainscoting in the entry are simply beautiful. We would highly recommend them to anyone who’s looking for a finish carpenter that’s cares as much as their customer about receiving high quality workmanship."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
