"My home is old, with small, narrow closets. The existing closet made my clothes scream in agony, and it barely fit half of my attire. Cynthia came to my home as a designer, and it was clear she was very experienced. She was really direct about what could be done with my limited space and configuration. I was excited for anything different, to be honest!! We spent a lot of time discussing closet options, and by the end of the day, she had already sent me renderings and ideas. The price was fantastic, and I got it scheduled right away. I ripped up my existing closets, patched, and repainted, and Dan came a few weeks later to install everything. He was really professional and friendly. My closets look amazing. I am able to put all of my clothes in these two closets, including all of my summer clothes. No more storage of winter/summer items! They look amazing, and I truly feel they added to the value of my home. Everything is bright and fresh and I just could not be happier. Pricing was fantastic in my mind. I cannot recommend this company enough."

"Raymond is very professional and is excellent at responding and communicating. I have a small galley kitchen and he had the doors detached and the cabinets painted within a day. Took away all meaterials. Then came a second day for a final coat and attach new doors. I was really impressed and it was a great value."

"Ray came out to replace my wooden stairs and did a wonderful job plus he cleaned up all the garbage. Ray gave me a reasonable price. I would definitely say that Ray is honest, efficient, and takes pride in his work. I had a wonderfully honest experience. Would recommend him to anyone needing carpentry work."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

If you don’t have a coping saw, you can use an angle grinder to cope crown molding, but it takes a little more precision. Place your molding down on your workbench, angle the grinder at a 45-degree angle toward the molding, and back cut the wood. You’ll need to carefully angle your grinder to accommodate the curves in the wood, and aim to remove around 1 inch from the profile of the molding.

If you’re just replacing a few broken or damaged joists, you can expect to pay anywhere from $100 to $300 per joist. However, a complete installation for a home or room will take into account the cost of labor, which ranges from $25 to $40 per hour. Floor joist installation for an entire room, for example, can cost between $5,000 and $10,000, depending on the room's size and the materials used.

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.

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.
