"I hired Guill to build a walk in closet. He explained a few flaws with the design which I must confess it made a huge difference once everything was completed. I love my walk in closet Guill performed a professional and flawless work, thank you!"

"The carpenter that did the job (Adam) was amazing. He had to expand the space for one window, narrow the space for another, and repair much cedar siding that had rotted away due to water damage. He also reshaped my patio door so it would close and lock more easily. He is a very talented carpenter and I have no qualms about highly recommending him."

"I highly recommend CRS Painting. They have done so many home improvement projects for us and every one of them has been outstanding. They painted the exterior of our raised ranch, put down a new wood floor, and painted our family room. The most recent project, in November 2025, was painting our dining room, living room, halls and a bedroom and installing and staining six doors. Their is exceptional. When they paint they move all the furniture, cover it carefully and put it back neatly. They patch all the holes in the walls and cracks in the ceilings. They pay attention to every single detail and are friendly and responsive. I will definitely hire Celso and CRS for our next home improvement job."

"I've got a 112 year old hose that is pretty solid, but it had a cracked floor joist and part of the flooring wasn't properly supported. I hired Kristian and his team to install a couple of lally columns to support a carrying beam and sister a couple of floor joists. Many contractors wouldn't even return my call because I wasn't looking to complete a huge remodel job, but Kristian came over, gave me a fair verbal estimate on the spot, and worked with me on timing to complete the project. Not only that, but the solution wasn't overly complicated. The job was straightforward, completed exactly as described in the time described, and there was no scope creep. If I ever have a larger need, they'll certainly be my first call. I would highly recommend K&X construction if you need any services that they offer."

"If I could hire Sayed for every future project in my house, I would! When other folks say they wonâ t end the job until the homeowner is happy, they never mean itâ ¦ but Sayed does. He made and installed gorgeous built-in cabinets/shelves in our den and replaced our fireplace surround with marble. The quality of his work is 10 out of 10 and his professionalism is an 11 out of 10. Heâ s genuinely a wonderful person who always does right by his customers. Whether itâ s installing a few extra bits of moulding to hide some speaker wires I forgot to tell him about, gifting us a stud finder when I commented on how cool his was, or bringing us treats back from Lebanon, Sayed was always thinking of ways to make the project enjoyable and special for us. My only request of Sayed is to learn how to install pools because thatâ s my next major project and I wish he could lead the project for me! TLDR: best contractor youâ ll ever hire!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

There are two ways you can cut trim for doorways: with a miter saw or a table saw. Mitered joints need a 45-degree angle. If you’re unfamiliar with a miter saw, you might want to consider buying extra trim pieces or choosing butted joints instead. One wrong cut, and you’ll need to power up the saw again with a new piece. 

Butted joints—also called shaker style—don’t need a 45-degree angle. Instead, your side pieces attach perpendicularly to the header trim and only require a straight cut.

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.
