"Dear Friend, If a high-quality deck restoration done with the care of an artist at a fair price is what you want, try Arie at iDeck Construction. He is on the web and his phone number is 818-970-2126. He covers the entire Los Angeles Area. I actually discovered Arie while he was building several decks and fences for my neighbors. He is specially licensed and trained for just about any construction, but his woodwork is amazing. john morgan west hills, CA"

Customers say: True professional

"We're very pleased with the work Issac did on our house. The Project was to repair/replace damaged fascia and other exterior woodwork, plus painting same and the entire front for our two story house (HomeAdvisor doesn't provide options to select these). The work met expectations, was done ahead of schedule, and at a fair price (middle of our estimates). His work plan was more detailed than any other, and specified exactly what was to be done. Issac was in constant contact (couple times a day), plus onsite daily. He was quick to respond to any issue, plus redid a couple items that weren't just right. We'd definitely use him again."

"Albert and his crew from G.C. Woodworking are miracle workers. I have a nice, but older home, in the Hollywood Hills, and the kitchen was in need of updating. Rather than a full remodel, I decided to reface the kitchen cabinets and add a few wood panels. Along the way I also built two new cabinets and remodeled the cabinet area where a new and larger refrigerator had to go. The price was fair, and the quality of work was outstanding. Now, my kitchen looks just like new. Albert was always available to answer questions and always oversaw the crew’s work. I highly recommend G.C. Woodworking for a reasonable price and first-class results."

"We had the best experience with James at Turning Point Woodwork. He custom built and installed a built-in, which completely transformed our space. He listened to our wants and ideas, made suggestions, drew up plans, re-adjusted plans to our specifications, built everything in his shop and installed it all in our house in less than a day. Could not be more convenient. All communication and responses were clear and timely. Would definitely hire again."

Woodworking FAQs, answered by experts

Rustic and modern farmhouse styles are currently the most popular. These include rustic and antique furniture, muted colors, clean lines, eclectic decor, and natural materials. Some other popular farmhouse styles include the following:

  • Coastal farmhouse: Creates a lighter, airier feel with soft colors and blue palettes, along with gold

  • Colonial farmhouse: Focuses on real antique furniture and decor

  • French farmhouse: Leans on French country architecture and design by including marble and lighter-colored metals, like zinc

  • Industrial farmhouse: Includes thick, chunky furniture and dark metals

  • Scandinavian farmhouse: Usually includes lighter wood colors and more refined furniture

Board and batten is a type of wainscotting that uses wider boards that are placed vertically, and it has a much more rustic aesthetic than wainscotting. Common wainscotting styles are raised-panel, flat-panel, and beadboard. Wainscotting is more intricate and will typically use more elegant, subtle trims compared to the more farmhouse-inspired boards of board and batten styles.

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. 

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.

On average, the cost to hire a carpenter ranges from about $75 to $100 per hour, depending on the type of carpentry, location, size of the job, and skill level of the carpenter. Get quotes from at least three carpenters in your area to determine the best price for your specific project.
