"Shane and his crew did a great job finishing our basement bedroom project. Studs, insulation, drywall, drop ceiling, closet doors, and flooring making in a great guest retreat. Work was timely, cleaned up without a trace and quality of work was top drawer. This was repeat business in our new home. Highly recommended. He is very particular and it shows in fit and finish of his work. Thanks!"

"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

"Very happy with final project. Custom woodwork is of excellent quality and workmanship. Piece will be appreciated/used on a daily basis. Smooth interaction. Good communication and updates along the way. Reasonable rates and length of time to completion. Would recommend to others and use again on a future custom order."

Small jobs welcome

"Awesome to work with and listens to what you want. Communication was awesome. The quality Workmanship is amazing. This young man has talent!!! It would only allowed me to choose one item that they did for usâ ¦.but Iâ ve listed all the rest.. First we had him make all our cabinets for our kitchen and also our 4 bathroom vanities.. While he was at our home installing them, I asked if heâ d ever made a mantel for a fire placeâ ¦.he had not. But said he was willing to learn. Itâ s a corner fireplace so had to also have the wood for the open top. We also challenged him to make a hidden bookshelf door for under our stairway. He had never made one before. He took the challenge and did an amazing job. Once those were completed, we had him do two more hidden doors. One was a double (another challenge) hidden door bookshelf with storage, the other a single hidden door with storage. Then we had him build a pantry closet. We've given their information/business card out to many people. Weâ ll definitely be hiring them again in our next home. We highly recommend them."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

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).

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

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.

Hiring a woodworker can be expensive, depending on the job, but it’s very often well worth the investment. Woodworkers are able to provide custom pieces of furniture and handmade construction to present a finished product that is exactly to your specifications. If you have a specific vision for a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture or home feature, the cost of hiring a professional woodworker is worthwhile. Plus, you’ll often get a higher quality product than what you could buy in stores for a fraction of the price.
