"Ron uses USA wood rather than cheaper imported wood. He paints/stains the fence with a sprayer which provides a solid color. He does what he says he will do and did not require any payment until his work was finished."

"This is to express my wife and I sincere appreciation for the exceptional work Mark Daly and the family owned business ( DALY STONE DESIGN. LLP ) recently completed on the remodeling of our living room fireplace. Our initial consultation with Mark (owner) we felt a genuine connection and trust, Mark and his entire team professionalism combined with your evident dedication to quality craftsmanship put our minds at ease throughout the entire process. Finally, the fireplace is a showstopper. It has completely modernized our living room and has become a favorite gathering spot for our family, We were very fortunate to have had Mark as our contractor and are happy to serve as a reference for any future clients."

"Joseph and Ron did an EXCELLENT job working on a variety of projects at my house over the course of several weeks. Custom shelving, vinyl siding, door install, trim, baseboard work, and more. Not only are Joseph and Ron committed to completing work to a high standard, they are both enjoyable nd trustworthy people. They won't leave the job until it is done right, which seems to be a rare quality these days. If you need just about any work done at your home, your search is over, you have found the right people!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

On average, the cost to hire a carpenter ranges from about $75 to $100 per hour, depending on the type of carpentry, location, size of the job, and skill level of the carpenter. Get quotes from at least three carpenters in your area to determine the best price for your specific project.

Carpentry is a skilled trade and requires many years of experience to acquire the skills necessary to do the job efficiently and correctly. Because every home requires a carpenter at some stage of the building process, carpenters are typically in high demand. The higher the skill level, the higher the hourly rate the carpenter can charge.

While carpenters and woodworkers perform similar tasks, their focus differs. A carpenter is typically responsible for the structural woodwork involved in construction, such as framing, installing sheathing, hanging kitchen cabinets, and installing trusses. In contrast, a woodworker handles more intricate and custom projects, like building custom furniture, installing wainscoting, and creating detailed interior trim and moldings. Based on these definitions, many woodworkers can perform the tasks of a carpenter, but it's always best to discuss your specific project with a professional to ensure they have the necessary skills.
