"Most important thing is Bob does what he says he will do. Second thing; he has the skill set to actually follow through with high quality work. Plus he has a great personality and just a nice person. We hired Bob 3 times so far; he install a vent in our generator shed to relieve the excess hot air, he cleared trees and cut them into logs and he installed porch beams, brackets and hung a porch swing. All successes!"

"Steve did an awesome job organizing crews to come in for the different phases of drywalling my 1,178SF basement. All the guys had a great work ethic and were very skilled, and Steve reached out to me often throughout the job to keep me up to date. Highly recommend Elite Gypsum for your drywall needs! Only recommendation I’d give is for the home owner to put construction paper down, or pay Steve to do it, so cleanup is much easier. I put it down before mudding started and it made a huge difference."

"Rocky Custom Builders did an amazing job on our bathroom remodel. Jorge, the owner, was great to work with from start to finish—he took the time to understand what my wife and I wanted, communicated clearly, and treated the work like it was in his own home. His quote was fair, and the final bill matched expectations. When a couple of plumbing and electrical surprises came up, they handled them quickly and professionally, making sure everything was done right. The team is fantastic—Cesar is incredibly skilled with tile, electrical, and just about anything else we needed, and the rest of the crew worked hard and took real pride in their work. The bathroom turned out great—high-quality finishes, good craftsmanship, and what we envisioned. Plus, they were fun to have around. I’ll be recommending Rocky Custom Builders to anyone in the Vail Valley who needs a trustworthy contractor."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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.

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.

No, you do not usually tip a carpenter for their work. However, if you’ve been very happy with the level of service and quality of work, a 10% to 20% tip would likely be accepted with thanks. If you’re not sure, it can help to discuss the carpenter’s policy or preference for tipping before beginning the project.

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.
