"We couldn’t be happier with the deck that Expert Home Builders built for us. From the very beginning, the team was incredibly professional and respectful. They took the time to really understand what we wanted and guided us through all the options for materials and design. It never felt rushed, and their communication throughout the project was spot-on. The workmanship is truly top-notch. Every board and railing is perfectly aligned, and the quality of the materials is excellent. They were also super clean and organized, making sure everything was left tidy at the end of each day. The entire process felt easy, and there were no surprises when it came to the price. If you’re thinking about building a deck, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Expert Home Builders. The end result is better than we could have imagined, and we’ve already had so many compliments from friends and neighbors."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Whether or not it’s easier to cut wood when it’s wet versus dry depends largely on the type of tool you use and the wood you’re cutting. For example, a chain saw should still be able to cut through wet wood with relative ease, but it may be more difficult to maneuver due to the wood fibers sticking to the chains of the saw. 

However, you might want to avoid cutting wood entirely when it’s wet if you’re pruning your tree. Sawing a wet tree that you don’t plan on removing can also encourage bacterial and fungal growth and decay.

If you don’t have a coping saw, you can use an angle grinder to cope crown molding, but it takes a little more precision. Place your molding down on your workbench, angle the grinder at a 45-degree angle toward the molding, and back cut the wood. You’ll need to carefully angle your grinder to accommodate the curves in the wood, and aim to remove around 1 inch from the profile of the molding.

While carpenters and woodworkers perform similar tasks, their focus differs. A carpenter is typically responsible for the structural woodwork involved in construction, such as framing, installing sheathing, hanging kitchen cabinets, and installing trusses. In contrast, a woodworker handles more intricate and custom projects, like building custom furniture, installing wainscoting, and creating detailed interior trim and moldings. Based on these definitions, many woodworkers can perform the tasks of a carpenter, but it's always best to discuss your specific project with a professional to ensure they have the necessary skills.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

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