"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."

"Toro Carpentry did a wonderful job. Hymie and his crew explained their process and understood what my goals were for this project. When I needed additional work that was outside the original project, his price was very reasonable. If you want a company you can trust, Toro is it. I would recommend them to all that ask."

"I had Zach and his team design and install closet systems for my new construction home. Zach was great to work with - he made helpful recommendations and turnaround time on the closet designs was quick. Communication was excellent throughout the process. The installers were all friendly and professional. I highly recommend!"

Woodworking FAQs, answered by experts

Professionals ensure safe, thorough repairs using quality materials, extending the life of your structure.

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.

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.

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.

Wooden soffits, when properly cared for, can last between 10 and 25 years, depending on the type of wood and the climate you live in. Certain wood types will last longer than others, and you might want to consider the cost of replacing soffits when you break down the total project cost. While an initially higher-priced material might seem counterintuitive, it can make more financial sense if you don’t plan on moving.
