"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."

"I had a really great experience with Closet Organizing Systems.  During my first phone call they were emailing me pictures of previous work to show me what they can do.  My initial consultation was with Donna.  She came to may house with lots of samples and great ideas.  She spent a lot of time with me to truly  understand my needs.  She even left me samples of the mdf to keep on hand.  Within 48 hours of our consultation I had received plans and a computer generated rendering of the space.  The quote was below my budget for the project.  I was able to schedule the installation within 2 1/2 weeks of our initial consultation.  The installer was excellent and protected our floors and took great care in the installation.  
I was nervous about putting mdf in a hallway that was exposed to everyone entering my house.  Donna suggested bulking it up and using a thicker board to give a more woodlike effect.  The results are fantastic!  I couldn't be happier.
I would definitely use them for other projects and recommend them to others.

"We were planning on refinishing our floors and installing hardwood in one room. Orest was a pleasure to work with and very affordable! He came out right away and provided an estimate very quickly. We were going to sign a contract with him, but we ended up having to put our floors on hold for a while. Anyways, I would highly recommend Orest to anyone looking to do their floors!"

"Fantastic! From the time of the estimate until the completion of the job was seamless. The estimate was fair, the work started quickly, and was done in less time and under budget. We have a 135 year old Victorian. We needed repairs on railing that had some wood rot due to rain and our back porch needed an almost full rebuild. We are so happy with how all of it turned out."

"Michael Garman is a true craftsman. His preparation is superior, ending in a flawless result. He is patient, professional and a thoroughly nice person. I have employed Michael in the part, both for woodwork repair (excellent results), and painting (flawless). I called him again, this time to remove wallpaper and paint my bathroom, kitchen and exterior door. He is so easy to work with, a real pleasure. He is always prompt, communicates very well, is considerate and respectful. HIs attention to detail is superb. It is clear that he takes great pride in his work. This is the third job Michael has done for me, and I WILL hire him again. I recommend him most highly!"

"Daniel was amazing and very attentive. He reached out to me right away, drove out to review the work that would need to be done and then sent me the estimate later the same day. I hired him for the job right after that. I had to ask to postpone the start of the project by about a week and he was understanding. When I reached back out he said he needed to work around what other jobs he had going on at the same time. He took three (3) days to complete the project of working on my garage and house. This involved power washing, replacing woodwork that needed it, and painting both structures as well as the shutters. I am happy with the outcome of this project. I would highly recommend Daniel / Garfield Construction, Inc. In fact, I would hire him again if / when there is work that needs to get done that is in his area."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Some states require carpenters to be licensed to perform forms of carpentry, such as framing. The license requires a certain amount of experience and to pass an examination. In states that don’t require carpenters to be licensed, they must be licensed as a contractor if they work independently rather than solely as a subcontractor under a licensed builder. Use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to find out whether a potential carpenter is licensed in your state.

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

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

Yes, Corian® and other solid surface materials can be cut with standard woodworking tools, such as a circular saw or a jigsaw. However, it is crucial to use the correct type of blade to avoid damaging the material.

For a circular saw, a tungsten carbide-tipped blade is required; a triple chip grind blade is highly recommended. For a jigsaw, you should use a fine-tooth down-cutting blade. Do not use blades designed for cutting wood, as they can cause microfractures that weaken the edges of the countertop. A diamond blade is also unnecessary, as those are designed for harder materials like natural stone, which Corian is not.

After cutting, the edge will be rough. It is essential to sand and smooth the cut edge to prevent microfractures, which can eventually compromise the integrity of the countertop.
