"David was professional and conscientious. He did a great job trimming down a cabinet to make room for a taller refrigerator. He masked off the area to contain the sawdust and vacuumed up the debris from the job. Here fit us in on short notice and his price for the work was extremely fair. We will definitely call him again when we need woodwork around the house."

"I hired Dane Starbuck of Couloir Carpentry to replace four posts on my covered porch, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Clear communication is essential for me, and Dane exceeded expectations. He kept me informed every step of the way, explained details clearly without ever talking down to me, and was happy to answer my questions while working. The quality of his craftsmanship is top-notch. He showed up as planned over the four-day project, kept a tidy workspace, and cleaned up thoroughly when finished—even with other backyard projects going on nearby. His pricing was very fair, and his overall professionalism made him a pleasure to work with. I’ve already asked him to quote a couple of additional projects, and I highly recommend Couloir Carpentry to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled carpenter!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

Before hiring a carpenter, the most important thing is to make sure they are properly qualified and insured for the job. It’s more than reasonable to ask your prospective carpenter for customer references, as well as about their licensing and insurance. You should also consider choosing a carpenter that specializes in your specific project area to ensure high-quality results. 

Spindles on a deck may also be called balusters or pickets. While not as important to the structural support of the deck as the rail posts, they play a critical role in ensuring the deck is safe to use by closing in large gaps in the railing. For this reason, balusters must be no more than 4 inches away from one another.
