"I have worked with JD Woodworking for 13 years. They have I fort hired them to install cabinets. I was so impressed with their work and professionalism that I hired them in my next house for a custom office, home theatre and bar. Each of these projects were custom built from the cabinets to the coffered ceilings. I have recommended them to several friends and I would recommend them again without hesitation."

"Marcia was our designer, and she was wonderful to work with! Professional from the start, flexible, and always receptive and responsive. The installers were great as well, always arriving within the designated window. They were also professional and friendly! We can't wait to do our pantry and nursery closet! We will definitely be using Closet OS again! Thank you for transforming our rooms and giving us great storage space!"

"I am extremely pleased with the work that was done in my home! He did an amazing job mounting both of my TVs, installing the two floating shelves, and mounting my fireplace. Everything was completed with great attention to detail, precision, and professionalism. He made sure everything was level, secure, and positioned exactly where I wanted it. The finished setup looks beautiful and has completely transformed the space. He was punctual, knowledgeable, and left the area clean after the job was done. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for quality workmanship and excellent customer service. I will definitely be using him again for future projects!"

"The owner and installers were very professional, and had great communication throughout the process. They came up with functional designs that didn’t cost a fortune and look beautiful. These closets made such a big difference! They did the walk in closet in the primary bedroom and our entryway closet. We liked those so much that we ended up doing both of our sons’ closets and laundry room two months later! I am a Realtor, and I have been referring them to all of my clients! Great company and product!"

"Raymond is very professional and is excellent at responding and communicating. I have a small galley kitchen and he had the doors detached and the cabinets painted within a day. Took away all meaterials. Then came a second day for a final coat and attach new doors. I was really impressed and it was a great value."

"I hired JADA to gut and renovate my bathroom. I was hesitant to hire someone I did not know but the owner immediately gave me confidence. They communicate very well and every interaction was professional. The workmanship was outstanding. My tile is gorgeous! I have no design skills so the owner really helped me by making recommendations and choosing finishes when I had no idea! The electrical and plumbing work was efficient and complete. I highly recommend JADA and look forward to using them again."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Most contractors do not charge for meetings, but it can depend on the project, mainly if it includes detailed consultations or project planning. For general estimates, homeowners shouldn't expect to be charged. Always ask up front about meeting fees to avoid surprises and ensure you know what’s included in the process.

If you don’t have a power saw with a blade where you can adjust the angle, you could use a miter box and hand saw to make the cuts. The miter box contains wide slots to support the piece of baseboard and other narrow slots to accommodate the blade of the hand saw. However, it’s tough to make non-standard cuts beyond 30 or 45 degrees when using a miter box.

On average, the cost to hire a carpenter ranges from about $75 to $100 per hour, depending on the type of carpentry, location, size of the job, and skill level of the carpenter. Get quotes from at least three carpenters in your area to determine the best price for your specific project.

While the Arts and Crafts movement inspired many architectural elements, the primary styles from the time include Craftsman, Tudor Revivals, bungalows, and Mission homes. You'll see elements of these styles in homes, churches, museums, and schools—particularly Country Day schools from the era.

Many modern homes have soffits, but older ones don’t, and you may be wondering why. Older homes have eaves that extend further beyond the home and help to circulate air, negating the need for a soffit. This style of building has faded away, therefore, modern homes need separate soffit installation. Modern soffits are more efficient than this older style and require less material to construct, saving homeowners money.
