"Extremely happy with the work Ryan and his team did in our 17 yr old home. We replaced the front door and all interior doors plus hardware, the baseboards and door trim, painted four bedrooms and bathrooms plus all the doors and trim, hung new bathroom mirrors and replaced the medicine cabinets. We also repainted our existing glass doors and trim to match the new front door. In the laundry room we replaced cabinet facing, countertop and sink, plus paint. Our home didnâ t need structural work, but this surface refresh has made it look some much more modern and up to date. Ryan is very easy to work with, is an excellent communicator and delivers on his contract. He creates line-item contracts that allow for transparency and easy decision making. I already had some other work under contract when I found Ryan and he was very flexible and accommodating about working with the existing plan and the other contractorsâ delays and issues. Everything one wants in a contractor that can be hard to find. Highly recommended."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Balusters provide vertical support to make sure your stair railing and/or deck is as sturdy and safe as possible. These spindles help hold up the railing so people walking up or down stairs have something strong to hold onto. They can also act as a unique design element if they’re custom-made to suit a specific style or size requirement.

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.

Whether or not it’s easier to cut wood when it’s wet versus dry depends largely on the type of tool you use and the wood you’re cutting. For example, a chain saw should still be able to cut through wet wood with relative ease, but it may be more difficult to maneuver due to the wood fibers sticking to the chains of the saw. 

However, you might want to avoid cutting wood entirely when it’s wet if you’re pruning your tree. Sawing a wet tree that you don’t plan on removing can also encourage bacterial and fungal growth and decay.
