"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!"

"We recently bought a condo in Bonita Spring. We liked the place very much but one of the room, that I planned to have as my office, had walls that were occupied by two rows of cabinets leaving no place to put anything in it. We didn't need those nice cabinets so we started searching for someone who can remove them and take to the waste facility. A few people who came asked for the price that sounded ridiculous and the timing was not good for us. Finally, this nice man, Clayton from Nunes Carpentry came. He offered a very fair price and was ready to start just a few days later. And what job he's done! Clayton is very polite, extremely hard working, and did an AMAZING job: worked very carefully not to ruin walls and floor, no smoking or lunch breaks, no complains about the job being much harder than it looked. No pretense. Not showing how 'tired' he was: just working and doing a great job for a very fair price. I highly recommend Clayton and guarantee you won't regret this decision."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Homeowners insurance may cover damaged floor joists, depending on your policy. Insurance typically covers issues from storms, fires, or water damage from burst pipes. However, don't expect your insurance company to cover damage from wear and tear, poor maintenance, or termites.

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.

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.
