"Meeting and working with Mr. Young was a pleasure. He knows his craft and takes pride in his work. We are pleased with the quality of his work. I like that he itemized the cost for the job and it was fair and equitable. We will definitely contact him for future repairs."

"Creations Construction did a full home remodel for us in Poway ? new floors, kitchen, and bathrooms. The attention to detail and quality of work were exceptional. They made the entire process stress-free, and the project manager kept us updated every step of the way. We couldn?t be happier with how our home turned out!"

"I highly recommend Vobiscum Construction Inc for any home improvements you need done. Leo, Marco and the whole team with Vobiscum were excellent. They were attentive and easy to coordinate with through the entire process. They finished the project quickly and seamlessly, I’m so impressed. I had quite a large project on my single story home that needed completion (urgent frame and truss repair, roof replacement, fascia replacement and more). The roof and carpentry work came out beautiful, the pictures don’t do it justice. I no longer have to worry about a leaking roof or failing structure. I can’t thank them enough for their help and for giving me peace of mind. Thank you Vobiscum and your team!"

"We hired Jake to build a new deck for our yard and we could not be happier (both with the decision to hire Jake and the deck itself). We particularly appreciated the quality of his workmanship and his high level of attention to detail (something that was very important to us). Jake was also extremely helpful in the overall design and planning aspects of the project offering helpful suggestions about materials, potential layout, etc. every step of the way. Jake is responsive and professional and we would not hesitate to hire him again for future projects. On this deck project we were truly thrilled with the final results. Although we did see some lower bids for the work (before selecting Jake), we are confident that we got great value for our dollar in terms of final quality."

"We have used Ryan and Neal (Precision Cabinetry) twice now. the first time was 5 years ago when they did our modern kitchen. They were on a budget and the finished product is gorgeous (we think). We were able to get the details we wanted, like dovetailed birch drawers. Having had such a good experience, we used them again recently for our laundry room. They presented a number of finishes based on our requests, and we finally decided on gloss white. It came out amazing! They are easy to work with, clean and professional!"

"Joel and his Greenlight team did a great job replacing and painting some fascia boards. I had a time sensitive project and they were very responsive. They arrived promptly as scheduled, finished quickly and were very conscientious about cleaning up afterwards. They were also very courteous and pleasant to work with. I would definitely use them for another project in the future."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

While the Arts and Crafts movement inspired many architectural elements, the primary styles from the time include Craftsman, Tudor Revivals, bungalows, and Mission homes. You'll see elements of these styles in homes, churches, museums, and schools—particularly Country Day schools from the era.

There are two ways you can cut trim for doorways: with a miter saw or a table saw. Mitered joints need a 45-degree angle. If you’re unfamiliar with a miter saw, you might want to consider buying extra trim pieces or choosing butted joints instead. One wrong cut, and you’ll need to power up the saw again with a new piece. 

Butted joints—also called shaker style—don’t need a 45-degree angle. Instead, your side pieces attach perpendicularly to the header trim and only require a straight cut.

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

Balusters provide vertical support to make sure your stair railing and/or deck is as sturdy and safe as possible. These spindles help hold up the railing so people walking up or down stairs have something strong to hold onto. They can also act as a unique design element if they’re custom-made to suit a specific style or size requirement.

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.
