"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you need a handyman or carpenter, look no further than Jacob Home Services! Jacob is seriously the man to call when you need something fixed, built, installed, or repaired. He is incredibly skilled, professional, trustworthy, and takes pride in his work. Most importantly, he does the job right the first time! I’ve personally had Jacob do several projects for me, including a custom pantry, custom closet, toilet repair, TV installation, new baseboards, new flooring in my laundry room, and a custom bathroom cabinet drawer. Every project turned out great, and the attention to detail really stands out. It’s not easy to find someone who can do so many different things and actually does them well. Jacob is dependable, honest, and someone I feel completely comfortable having in my home. If you have a project on your to-do list, call Jacob! You won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend Jacob Home Services! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

Woodworking FAQs, answered by experts

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).

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.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

No, you do not usually tip a carpenter for their work. However, if you’ve been very happy with the level of service and quality of work, a 10% to 20% tip would likely be accepted with thanks. If you’re not sure, it can help to discuss the carpenter’s policy or preference for tipping before beginning the project.

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.
