"Jacques and C & M Kitchen Cabinets did a fantastic job with my kitchen remodel. Jacques kept me updated each step of the way, his design was just what I wanted, his crew were respectful of my home and were professional. I wouldn't change a thing and am going to use Jacques for my 2 bathroom remodels without hesitation. I have recommended Jacques to friends who have also used C & M Kitchen Cabinets."

"Jonathan obviously has a love of wood and woodworking. He repaired and refinished 45 yr old dining chairs to good as new. He is honest, personable, and a pleasure to work and converse with. We will definitely go to Jonathan again as needed. We highly recommend Jonathan Kim Design"

Customers say: Quick response

"The owner of Froland Carpentry runs a first class professional company. The crew shows up on time and are pleasant and respectful. They protected surrounding work area surfaces including floor runners on the stone floors. We had cabinetry work, water damage repaired from the exterior of our house including water damage on the interior walls and baseboards. We couldn't be happier with the impeccable finish work. They are real pros. We will definitely hire them for our next project which will be staining the driveways and decks around our swimming pool. We completely trust their quality of work, clarity in communication, bids and follow through. Great find!"

"Joseph Carroll and his team performed superior wood repair, window installation and complete exterior painting of my residence. All the wood used was of matching quality to existing materials. Joseph made multiple visits to the work site to assure crew remained on schedule and they cleaned up the work area thoroughly each day, which was most appreciated. I would highly recommend Joseph for his excellent work, courteous demeanor and timely execution of my extensive wood restoration/painting project."

"We enjoyed working with Denali National Construction, including Victor and Mayra (the owners), and their great team! Victor is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. This company was referred to us by Angi to replace three fascia boards (required removing and reinstalling roof tiles and waterproof paper in order to replace two of the fascia boards) and a wooden side-gate. Victor was able to meet me, provided me his written quote, and scheduled to start our project within a very short time. Victor and his team showed up on time and completed the project within the scheduled timeframe with an excellent quality workmanship. We would definitely use this company again for our future projects. We were very pleased and highly recommend this company!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

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

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.

Before hiring a carpenter, the most important thing is to make sure they are properly qualified and insured for the job. It’s more than reasonable to ask your prospective carpenter for customer references, as well as about their licensing and insurance. You should also consider choosing a carpenter that specializes in your specific project area to ensure high-quality results. 

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.
