"We were in need of some crown molding for our house. We were delighted to see the great reviews for Kennedy Kraft and decided to contact Seamus for a free consultation. We received a great quote, however Seamus was high in demand, so we had to wait several weeks before Seamus could start the work. Yet the wait was worth it, as Seamus did a superior quality install of the crown molding in our house. It turned out AWESOME! Seamus is as friendly and nice as the day is long. Which are wonderful traits for someone working inside your home for big and long projects. Yet you could not ask for better customer service than Seamus provided to us. We plan to use him for some of our future woodwork projects."

"Luis understood what I needed. He made good suggestions. He moved some big pieces of furniture for me, assembled a pantry and a complicated bed, laid out tarps outside to protect items from rain and wind, and replaced a bathroom faucet. With his experience and skills he can do a variety of jobs. His estimates and prices are very reasonable. Luis is reliable, kind, and thoughtful. I will book him again. I highly recommend Luis."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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. 

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

The boards between floor joists are called bridging or blocking boards. These are the shortest pieces of wood in the flooring system—with beams being the longest and joists sitting somewhere in the middle—and they serve to reinforce the joists and help provide even support to the flooring above. Bridging specifically helps cut down on uneven and creaking floors in your living area.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

Spindles on a deck may also be called balusters or pickets. While not as important to the structural support of the deck as the rail posts, they play a critical role in ensuring the deck is safe to use by closing in large gaps in the railing. For this reason, balusters must be no more than 4 inches away from one another.
