"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."

"Jose is fantastic and easy to work with. He did professional, quality work at an amazing and affordable price. We had a porch column that had rotting wood and had detached from the roof. He was able to remove the wood, get a new piece and rewrap the aluminum cover. He gave me the estimate the day of and when I agreed, came by within 2 days and finished it that day. We will be using him 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!"

"The worker arrived and began with tearing down the old deck stairs and continued to build the new ones and a gate. He was all by himself and was here for about 8 hours. Never saw him take a break. What a hard worker and the finished project was amazing .I am so please with the end result.. I would give him a 10 out if 10. What a nice man and a great experience with this company.."

"We had our deck redone and couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! The finished product looks amazing, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. The attention to detail and quality of work really exceeded our expectations. Our deck looks like a completely new space! We highly recommend them to anyone looking to have their deck redone. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Many contractors prefer checks because they’re easy to track and have no associated fees. However, many also accept credit cards (though they might add a fee to cover their processing costs).

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.

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.

The boards between floor joists are called bridging or blocking boards. These are the shortest pieces of wood in the flooring system—with beams being the longest and joists sitting somewhere in the middle—and they serve to reinforce the joists and help provide even support to the flooring above. Bridging specifically helps cut down on uneven and creaking floors in your living area.

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.
