"I highly recommend Skyler, he is such a professional handyman, he does the work very quickly and you can trust him. He will come in advance with professional equipment, remove the wooden floor with tools, and remove the nails exposed to the outside to avoid safety hazards. He is also very nice, cheerful and patient. It was a great experience to work with him."

"A million thank u's to Declan, Jackie, Vince, Alex and Holden. Job well done! My bathroom and loft look wonderful. I was very nervous about this project. Had a previous issue with someone else who ghosted me and left my vanity in the dining room. Nice huh? Luckily, Jackie called me though Angi's list, booked an appointment and the rest was magic! Attention to detail, quality and accountability describes this company. Thanks again everyone! I'll be seeing you in the spring!"

"Francisco and his crew completely remodeled 2 bathrooms and the kitchen at our Bodega Bay home. They also did great room carpentry and new flooring and carpet throughout. They were so talented, punctual, organized and a delight to work with. We built a custom home 30 years ago and have done several remodels but this was by far the most pleasant experience! I cannot recommend them more!"

Customers say: Quick response

"Bob is great to work with. He communicates clearly, sets expectations for timing and costs and regularly exceeds those expectations. He is a joy to work with. I picked deck installation which he did, but he also replaced doors and windows, repaired cinderblocks, got us a new roof, and did landscaping work and other jobs at our house in Dillon Beach. I highly recommend Bob and Precedent Construction."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

Landscape timbers can last 10 to 20 years in the ground when installed correctly. Pressure-treated timbers will last longer than non-treated ones, as pressure treatment makes the wood more rot-resistant. Wood exposed to high moisture levels or extreme temperature and weather fluctuations may not last as long as wood in drier areas with more consistent weather.

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.

Wooden soffits, when properly cared for, can last between 10 and 25 years, depending on the type of wood and the climate you live in. Certain wood types will last longer than others, and you might want to consider the cost of replacing soffits when you break down the total project cost. While an initially higher-priced material might seem counterintuitive, it can make more financial sense if you don’t plan on moving. 

Many people, including professionals in the field, use baluster and spindle interchangeably to describe the vertical components of a railing (or technically, a balustrade). However, there are subtle or distinct differences, depending on who you ask. The most common interpretation is that spindles are thin or delicate versions of balusters.
