"Lukeâ s Custom Woodworks just completed a beautiful remodel of my kitchen. The workmanship and customer service I have received were outstanding, and the cost was substantially lower than the other businesses I contacted. The staff of craftsmen were superb! Everyone worked diligently to make sure everything was done right. In addition, they always made sure the area was cleaned before they left. I highly recommend Lukeâ s Custom Woodworks to anyone interested in having a woodworking project. I couldnâ t ask for a better experience!"

"Tim was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is a true craftsman and incredibly skilled. He took time to understand my vision and exceeded my expectations with the results. He is extremely neat, detailed and talented. Not to mention he is kind and patient. He is trustworthy and always on time. He is very passionate about his craft and takes great pride in doing a perfect job. He is fun to collaborate with and I felt very confident in trusting him to make some artistic decisions. The mantle he made for the fireplace is absolutely beautiful. I really lucked out finding Tim and Smith Woodworking. I strongly recommend him."

"Bryan and his crew Darryl, Bruce, and Connor made repairs to my home after a plumbing leak. This sort of restoration involving baseboard trim, laminate flooring, drywall, and paint is more difficult than new construction because of the matching and blending required to make the repaired areas appear invisible. They accomplished this with a high degree of workmanship, arrived and completed the work on time, and were friendly and courteous throughout. They showed themselves to be real pros when they returned to repair damage to their work caused by the carpet installers under a separate contract, without charge. I highly recommend BKS Installers."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Labor plays a significant role in the installation of butcher block countertops. Depending on who you hire, your location, the customization level of the project, and whether the wood is already finished, you may pay a professional between $10 and $150 per square foot to install a butcher block countertop. On average, expect the per-hour price to run between $60 and $100.

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.

Hiring a woodworker can be expensive, depending on the job, but it’s very often well worth the investment. Woodworkers are able to provide custom pieces of furniture and handmade construction to present a finished product that is exactly to your specifications. If you have a specific vision for a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture or home feature, the cost of hiring a professional woodworker is worthwhile. Plus, you’ll often get a higher quality product than what you could buy in stores for a fraction of the price.

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.
