"I work full time and and run a small auto repair and weld shop as a side hustle. I don’t have the time or the patience for 90% of the “help” that’s out there today. Mike Williams is a man we can depend on to do the job and do it right. He has hung doors, patched our overhead door, patched drywall, even helped move shelves and organize our shop on the weekends. I’m 69 years old and have been in the welding trades all of my life, Mike is a very talented welder whether it’s mild steel, aluminum, or structural steel, he even makes metal art work as a hobby. In 6 months when I retire my welding shop opens full time. I look forward to working with Mike in the future. You don’t find people that works like this"

"Mike did an excellent job replacing our deck railing and repairing the deck after the derecho. The job was completed on time. The quality of the work was exceptional. When he left the site was very clean. We would highly recommend Mike."

"Gabe built a mantel out of wood for my brick fireplace. He designed & built it according to my wishes. I wanted distressed wood to match the beams in an adjoining room. He was meticulous in his work, asked questions & requested input on the specifications, & built a replica to show what the finished project would look like. He also reframed my screened-in porch and installed new doors in the porch (which included realigning the frame, which was off-set & crooked. In addition he hung blinds, shelves, & pictures throughout my house. He works long hours and follows-through on completing each project he starts, at a high quality."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

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.

The pro you need to hire to build your shed depends on the shed you purchase. A local handyman or general contractor can help build a prefab shed for you. However, if you’re looking for a custom shed, contacting a shed builder near you is the best option. Make sure you get quotes from 3 pros to decide on the best pro for your job. 

Landscape timbers can last 10 to 20 years in the ground when installed correctly. Pressure-treated timbers will last longer than non-treated ones, as pressure treatment makes the wood more rot-resistant. Wood exposed to high moisture levels or extreme temperature and weather fluctuations may not last as long as wood in drier areas with more consistent weather.

A contract should outline the scope of work, timelines, costs, payment schedule, and materials used for clarity and protection.
