"Dylan installed new 4 inch base molding in our entire 1st floor after we had our hardwood floors refinished and new carpet put down and it looks wonderful! There were many rounded corners and angles to cut and his workmanship and attention to detail was exceptional. My wife and I are admittedly very picky and critical about work that we have done and I can only say we were not disappointed! Highly recommend!"

"I hired this contractor to scrape and sand old paint off an existing patio railing.They had a lot of prep work to before they could start the painting. They worked the whole time, with just one break, they came prepared to get the job done. I would recommend them to others, and I would hire them again."

"Mark and his crew were very helpful. I needed a small deck sanded, stained, and they also fixed the mortar on my columns. They were very easy to work with on scheduling and got the work done in a very timely manner without breaking the bank! I would definitely recommend him and would hire him again!"

"I like to support smaller businesses, so I was looking for some place other than Home Depot to put in countertops. I called Gerald at Cabinet Tree and he got back to me right away and came to do measurements within a couple days. They installed the counters one day when I was at work and I came hope to see the most beautiful counters I had ever seen! They also ordered and installed metal siding that I wanted and it looks great. Whenever I have someone over to the house, the counters are the first thing they comment on. I'm so happy with Cabinet Tree's work. Highly would recommend this company to anyone looking for beautiful, quality, and timely work!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Joists and beams are both part of the flooring system above your basement, with the beams spanning the length of your home and getting support from vertical posts underneath, and joists usually spanning half the width of your home with no support posts underneath. The floor joists provide even support to the subflooring and flooring above, and they distribute that load to the beams. The beams then distribute that load down through the support posts to the foundation.

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.

It is common for a contractor to ask for a down payment before starting a project, especially for jobs that require purchasing materials and equipment or hiring a crew. The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost. While a request for up to 50% is not unusual, a contractor should not ask for more than that, and you should never pay for a project in full before the work has begun. To protect yourself, always discuss payment terms before starting and have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.

Floor joists provide support and stability to the flooring installed above them, whether it be hardwood, tile, or carpet. They’re essentially horizontal beams that hold up the subfloor and everything that lies on top of it. Floor joists also help evenly distribute weight across their structure so that it’s shared between walls, beams, and your foundation.

There are several mistakes you should avoid when using butcher block countertops. Don't place hot pots or pans directly on the surface, as this can crack the wood and cause permanent damage. Avoid leaving wet items sitting on the surface, and wipe up liquids as soon as possible to avoid stains.
