"Couldn't be more pleased. Enrique responded to my initial inquiry the day I sent it to Angi. He was at my home the next day to preview the work I needed, submitted his proposal within a few hours, and completed the work within a week. The stair railing is exactly how he described it to me and I am completely satisfied with the workmanship. I would definitely recommend Live Oak General Builder, Inc."

"Two months ago I was looking for a company to help me with my flooring project and I wanted to find someone who could do it as soon as possible. Bayside Builders came as promised and gave me a great price for what I was asking them to do, which is install laminate wood floors throughout my house. The quality of service that this company provides is top notch and their craftsmanship is very impressive. If you want to work with a company that is professional and has great customer service, this is the one to call."

"Heath Stairworks did a great job on our stairway. They added a beautiful hand rail and iron spindles. They listened to what we had in mind, made suggestions, and it turned out exactly how we wanted it. I would definitely use them again."

"I needed mildewed furniture that had been in storage six years properly cleaned with 12% hydrogen peroxide.This included two dressers, a bed, and a night table, inside drawers and as well as out. Jonathan was an excellent communicator. He understood the project, bringing up elements I had not thought of. He came to the site twice before doing the job, once to see the project, a second time to make sure the finish would not be adversely affected by the product. He researched the use of the product on metal handles as well. Each time he was prompt, pleasant, and made intelligent suggestions. He and his assistant Maria did a thorough job. I had been looking for the right person for months, Jonathan and Maria were the right people. So glad I found Jonathan. You will be glad you did too!"

"I couldn’t be happier with the kitchen remodel done by Step Up Remodeling and Gabriel! From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Gabriel and his team were highly professional, attentive to detail, and always respectful of our time and space. From the initial consultation, Gabriel took the time to understand our vision, and his expertise really helped bring it to life. He offered great suggestions that we hadn’t even considered, which truly elevated the final look. The quality of the craftsmanship is incredible – from the custom cabinetry to the beautiful countertops, everything was installed perfectly and looks stunning. They stuck to the timeline they promised, and there were no unexpected costs along the way. The crew kept everything as tidy as possible, and Gabriel provided regular updates on their progress, which I really appreciated. Our new kitchen is now the heart of our home, and we absolutely love it! If you’re considering a kitchen remodel, I"

"We had them do a full house siding project and it turned out great. The crew worked hard every day, kept things clean, and always let us know what was going on. You can tell they care about doing it right, not just rushing through it. The house looks completely different now and we?ve already had neighbors compliment it. Glad we went with them."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

It is not recommended to cut or drill into LVL (laminated veneer lumber) beams. As major structural components of a home, their composite structure can be compromised by alterations, which can weaken them and lead to cracking over time. If you must make modifications to an LVL beam, it is crucial to consult a structural engineer or general contractor first. A professional can advise on whether it's safe and provide specifics on the appropriate bit size, depth, and directionality for any necessary drilling.

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.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Some states require carpenters to be licensed to perform forms of carpentry, such as framing. The license requires a certain amount of experience and to pass an examination. In states that don’t require carpenters to be licensed, they must be licensed as a contractor if they work independently rather than solely as a subcontractor under a licensed builder. Use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to find out whether a potential carpenter is licensed in your state.

Carpentry is a skilled trade and requires many years of experience to acquire the skills necessary to do the job efficiently and correctly. Because every home requires a carpenter at some stage of the building process, carpenters are typically in high demand. The higher the skill level, the higher the hourly rate the carpenter can charge.
