"We recently had custom built-in bookshelves designed and installed by CT Yankee Crafts, and we couldn't be happier. From start to finish, the experience was an absolute pleasure. Nick was very communicative throughout the whole process, and he listened to our vision, then translated it onto paper and then into a beautiful masterpiece and a focal point in our new home. The best part is filling them up! Watching our book collection find its new home on these gorgeous, sturdy shelves has been so satisfying. It has completely transformed the room into a cozy sanctuary. Highly recommended for any custom woodwork!"

"Kurt did an excellent job repairing our windows and support beams. He is highly detail-oriented and able to match woodworking styles and colors. Kurt was able to repair extensive rot damage and made the windows look better than they did before. He is very tidy and always communicated very well. He is very friendly and pleasant, and upfront with what’s going on. I would recommend him without hesitation."

They took great pride in their work, and are very knowledgeable about the products and the work to be done. The work area was left very clean. We are very happy with the beautiful work that was done. It looks amazing! It was a pleasure working with Arnold's. We highly recommend them. J & B. Lewis"

"George listens to the customer, makes suggestions if necessary and proceeds with a contract. Said contract has a price range that he never exceeded depending on whether or not unforeseen issues occur. George renovated two bathrooms, installed laminate flooring on my bathrooms and master bedroom. He is efficient, neat and never leaves a project unless it is perfect. George will be called upon for all my future projects."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

General contractors use subcontractors to complete specific parts of a construction project. For example, a general contractor might have construction experience but need a subcontractor to install plumbing lines in a new home.

Most landscape timbers are 8 feet long, but some are also available in 10-foot and 12-foot lengths. Choose the length that will allow you to install landscape timbers using the least amount of cutting to fit. Shorter timbers will allow you to more easily create angles and shorter plant bed sides.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

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.

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.
