"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."

"Everything went great. Rich was a pleasure to work with. He stayed within our budget, and addressed our needs. He really listened, even when I had some last minute changes. The installation was smooth, and the cabinets look great and feel really high quality. We are very happy and would hire them again."

"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!"

"Jose was great. We contacted several companies to repair a railing which had been chewed by our dogs. We received no responses, except by Martin Woodworking. Martin was definitely not Customer Service Friendly. Jose immediately responded, came out to see what we needed, provided a reasonable quote. We hired Jose and he did an EXCELLENT job...not only that he sourced the wood to be able to use wood currently in place saving us money. He gave us the "worse case" quote in case he needed to replace more than required. Thus, there would be no surprises and in fact a lower cost. He is personable, honest, excellent craftsman, quality work, reasonable. He did exactly what we wanted and gave us options to save additional money. Would DEFINITELY recommend him."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Joists and beams are both part of the flooring system above your basement, with the beams spanning the length of your home and getting support from vertical posts underneath, and joists usually spanning half the width of your home with no support posts underneath. The floor joists provide even support to the subflooring and flooring above, and they distribute that load to the beams. The beams then distribute that load down through the support posts to the foundation.

Carpentry is a skilled trade and requires many years of experience to acquire the skills necessary to do the job efficiently and correctly. Because every home requires a carpenter at some stage of the building process, carpenters are typically in high demand. The higher the skill level, the higher the hourly rate the carpenter can charge.

There are two ways you can cut trim for doorways: with a miter saw or a table saw. Mitered joints need a 45-degree angle. If you’re unfamiliar with a miter saw, you might want to consider buying extra trim pieces or choosing butted joints instead. One wrong cut, and you’ll need to power up the saw again with a new piece. 

Butted joints—also called shaker style—don’t need a 45-degree angle. Instead, your side pieces attach perpendicularly to the header trim and only require a straight cut.
