"I needed to have the opening for a new garage door reinforced to support the new door, and have the cracked and uneven concrete floor of my pre-1947 garage repaired. Sebastian confirmed our appointment by phone and arrived on time to take a look at the project. He understood what the garage door installers needed to have done in order to install the new door and suggested a couple of alternatives to complete the project. He clearly explained the work that needed to be done. Sebastian's estimate arrived when he said it would. He kept me updated during every step of the job. He and his crew cleaned up after themselves after each day's work. I was very impressed with Sebastian's professionalism and attention to detail and would definitely him again."

"Easy to work with and professional. Was on time for the free estimate and Eduardo was knowledgeable about options. Got booked for the job at 8am on a Friday and the crew showed up right at 8am. Did a thorough quick job and left the place super clean (my wife even commented about how clean the garage was!). All in all great to work with with definitely use again - thank you!"

"I couldn’t be happier with the kitchen remodel done by Step Up Remodeling and Gabriel! From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Gabriel and his team were highly professional, attentive to detail, and always respectful of our time and space. From the initial consultation, Gabriel took the time to understand our vision, and his expertise really helped bring it to life. He offered great suggestions that we hadn’t even considered, which truly elevated the final look. The quality of the craftsmanship is incredible – from the custom cabinetry to the beautiful countertops, everything was installed perfectly and looks stunning. They stuck to the timeline they promised, and there were no unexpected costs along the way. The crew kept everything as tidy as possible, and Gabriel provided regular updates on their progress, which I really appreciated. Our new kitchen is now the heart of our home, and we absolutely love it! If you’re considering a kitchen remodel, I"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

While you can perform many routine home maintenance jobs yourself, it’s often a good idea to bring pros in for certain tasks. HVAC maintenance, fireplace and chimney inspections, foundation repairs, and roof inspections and repairs should be handled by professionals who know what to look for and can safely perform repairs. You may also find it helpful to hire a local house cleaning service to help with deep cleaning.

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.

A contract should outline the scope of work, timelines, costs, payment schedule, and materials used for clarity and protection.
