"They did excellent work and provided excellent service. Jose took my general idea and created a very fine and functional cabinet. Jose and his two sons showed up for the install and did a great job - they took their time and did a pro job. we have hired them for a 2nd job."

"Tom came out and quoted the project, and promptly came back in less than a week to complete the job. His knowledge about construction and standards were just what I needed. My hot water heater door was an exterior door that required venting, and Tom made a return trip to install the grate, and wouldn’t charge me, even though I felt it wasn’t fair to Tom. I will use Tom for any future projects."

"The remodel of our 3 bathrooms came out great! Mike Duran did a tremendous job throughout the entire process. Mike was extremely professional, knowledgeable and most importantly, seemed to truly care about insuring that we were comfortable and well taken care of. Mike was either at our home or communicating with us by phone or text on a daily basis which was very comforting. There was never a time where we weren't informed of the process and the next steps. The entire remodels were completed on a timely manner with no surprises. He also insured that everyone on his staff treated our home with respect. Mike is a very respectful and honest person and I would not hesitate in hiring him for future projects."

"Sylvain made my closet stronger after the shelf and hanger poles collapsed. He used stronger pine wood replacing the press board that wasn't strong enough to hang my clothes. My house was recently constructed by Pulte Homes in 2022, and they should be ashamed of themselves using less than par materials in the primary bedroom's closet."

"Joel and his crew at Green Light Building replaced termite damaged wood at my house. Joel answered my request for a free quote that day and with 2 days, came to my house and I had a detailed quote for labor and materials. He then kept in touch to let me know which days and how long the job would take. It was beautifully done, on time as per quote. Friendly and efficient workers!!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

If you don’t have a power saw with a blade where you can adjust the angle, you could use a miter box and hand saw to make the cuts. The miter box contains wide slots to support the piece of baseboard and other narrow slots to accommodate the blade of the hand saw. However, it’s tough to make non-standard cuts beyond 30 or 45 degrees when using a miter box.

It is common for a contractor to ask for a down payment before starting a project, especially for jobs that require purchasing materials and equipment or hiring a crew. The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost. While a request for up to 50% is not unusual, a contractor should not ask for more than that, and you should never pay for a project in full before the work has begun. To protect yourself, always discuss payment terms before starting and have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.

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.

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.

Joists and beams are both part of the flooring system above your basement, with the beams spanning the length of your home and getting support from vertical posts underneath, and joists usually spanning half the width of your home with no support posts underneath. The floor joists provide even support to the subflooring and flooring above, and they distribute that load to the beams. The beams then distribute that load down through the support posts to the foundation.
