"Don from I Construction is a total professional. Having run through a few contractors on the same issue, I can see how Don is a cut above the rest. He is thorough and a perfectionist. The reason I cannot hire him yet is because I am still waiting on the funding for my project. Once you talk to Don, you will see what I mean by this man being a 5 star professional."

"Erick and his team were timely, efficient, and overall excellent in completing two big projects at our home. The first was a build out for a tight attic space installing a swing door entry that gave us much needed storage. He lined the entry with lights and paneled over a large space in tight quarters. The second involved a storage room build out from a very unfinished space that ended with a beautiful storage room relocating piping and installing recessed lighting. The whole time Erick was timely, accurate, and professional throughout and delivered on time with high quality work. I will use Erick for all future home projects and highly recommend him and his team."

Woodworking FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, many repair services include blade sharpening as part of the maintenance package.

Floor joists provide support and stability to the flooring installed above them, whether it be hardwood, tile, or carpet. They’re essentially horizontal beams that hold up the subfloor and everything that lies on top of it. Floor joists also help evenly distribute weight across their structure so that it’s shared between walls, beams, and your foundation.

Tipping contractors, builders, or general contractors is not customary or expected. Unlike many service professions where tipping is built into the payment structure, construction professionals typically charge a full rate for their services. However, you may choose to tip a worker for exceptional service, such as if they go above and beyond, stay late to meet a deadline, or work on a holiday weekend. Before offering a tip, it's a good idea to ask about the company's policy, as some prohibit their employees from accepting gratuities. If you want to show your appreciation for a job well done without giving a cash tip, consider writing a positive online review or offering to serve as a reference for potential new customers.

Many modern homes have soffits, but older ones don’t, and you may be wondering why. Older homes have eaves that extend further beyond the home and help to circulate air, negating the need for a soffit. This style of building has faded away, therefore, modern homes need separate soffit installation. Modern soffits are more efficient than this older style and require less material to construct, saving homeowners money.

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.
