"Shane and Corey did an excellent job with the finish carpentry on a basement remodel. They matched the custom redwood trim & stayed within the original design, adding modern updates that blended well aesthetically. They are master craftsmen, and have creative minds that are up for new challenges which I tested them with. Thank you for quality craftsmanship to you both!"

"He did everything he was hired to do - and then did so much more. His work was excellent - he arrived on time, was courteous, and left the area clean. We will hire him again for all our carpentry work. We will give his name to all our friends who might need a finish carpenter."

"Pine Top Finish Company truly does fantastic work. I had them install doors and trim in my bathroom. Along with doors in my kitchen and living room. They also installed new trim throughout the house. I had they install shiplap on my island and the best part of it all, they installed a dog station in my island. Iâ m able to keep the food and water bowls hidden inside the island and it looks amazing. They did a great job cleaning up after themselves everyday they were here. I have nothing but great things to say about this company. I would highly recommend them. For any future projects in the home, this is who I am calling. Thank you for such a great experience."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

General contractors use subcontractors to complete specific parts of a construction project. For example, a general contractor might have construction experience but need a subcontractor to install plumbing lines in a new home.

Most landscape timbers are 8 feet long, but some are also available in 10-foot and 12-foot lengths. Choose the length that will allow you to install landscape timbers using the least amount of cutting to fit. Shorter timbers will allow you to more easily create angles and shorter plant bed sides.

Yes, Corian® and other solid surface countertops can be cut with standard woodworking tools like a circular saw or a jigsaw, but using the correct blade is crucial for the best results.

The recommended blade is a tungsten carbide-tipped blade, often called a solid-surface planer or triple chip grind blade. This type of blade is hard enough to cut through the material effectively. For a jigsaw, a fine-tooth down-cutting blade should be used.

It is important to note that a diamond blade is not necessary. Diamond blades are designed for harder materials like natural stone, concrete, or brick, and Corian is not a natural stone.

Using blades designed for wood is not recommended as they can cause microfractures that weaken the countertop's edges. While a tungsten carbide blade provides a much cleaner cut, the resulting edge will still be rough and must be sanded and smoothed to prevent microfractures from developing over time.

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.
