Customers say: Terrific value

"I highly recommend Bob! He built a beautiful large wooden wheelchair ramp for us. From start to finish he was very professional and kind. The ramp is everything and more we asked for from size, sturdiness, look, and safety. Excellent craftsmanship and he definitely looked at every detail before finalizing it. Also, he charges very fair prices. I will definitely use his services for any other large projects I have in the future."

"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."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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.

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.

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.
