"I had a great experience working with Gold Bay Builders on an ADU project. I handled the electrical panel upgrade and worked alongside them while they took care of the ADU construction. As someone working on the same project, I appreciated their professionalism, teamwork, and the care they put into their work. I’d gladly work with them again and highly recommend Gold Bay Builders to anyone planning an ADU or construction project!"

"Fernando and his amazing crew are totally professional, skilled, courteous, knowledgeable and - my personal favorite - reliable! Their work habits are impeccable, they leave the work area neat as a pin even if they are going to return the following day. The finished product was even better than I had envisioned. Their pricing is more than fair and they go above and beyond the normal expectation to provide exactly what the customer wants. I highly recommend FRG Handyman for any project they consider themselves qualified to perform. You will not be disappointed. Side note: The fact that every one of them is polite, kind and absolutely stunning in appearance is just an added positive note :) They will be called on by us for any future project we might have."

"Jose was friendly and professional. My job was not considered large by any means (re-hanging a gate) but he completed it in short order and cleaned up after himself. I really appreciated the fact he wanted to insure I was satisfied with the work because he needed to cut an inch off of the gate.....which I was. I would certainly call him again."

Woodworking FAQs, answered by experts

Hiring a woodworker can be expensive, depending on the job, but it’s very often well worth the investment. Woodworkers are able to provide custom pieces of furniture and handmade construction to present a finished product that is exactly to your specifications. If you have a specific vision for a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture or home feature, the cost of hiring a professional woodworker is worthwhile. Plus, you’ll often get a higher quality product than what you could buy in stores for a fraction of the price.

Professionals ensure safe, thorough repairs using quality materials, extending the life of your structure.

A contract should outline the scope of work, timelines, costs, payment schedule, and materials used for clarity and protection.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

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.
