"Tom and his crew are wonderful! They worked with my erratic schedule and were so willing to help me with multiple projects. The workmanship was top notch and I trusted them with all I needed. Iâ m actually working on a second round of projects and I wouldnâ t hire anyone else. They even helped fix a couple of things in my home done by a different contractor that were not working properly. Highly recommend!"

"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!"

"Roman is extremely talented and conscientious. He is very thoughtful and the quality of work is exceptional. He does not take any shortcuts and neither does he suggest one. He is a bit slow and might not be suitable for someone who is in a rush. We paid a flat rate and might have been a bit pricey, but we believe we got great value for our money."

"Mark was incredibly knowledgeable and professional. He was very responsive and quick to get each project done. I was very pleased with how reasonable the pricing was - especially considering the high quality of the work. After having such a positive experience, I asked Mark to do an additional project. He had the job done within 24 hours. The job took less time than he anticipated, and he didn’t charge for his time. He’s not only a professional, but a really good guy."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

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.

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.

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.

Whether or not it’s easier to cut wood when it’s wet versus dry depends largely on the type of tool you use and the wood you’re cutting. For example, a chain saw should still be able to cut through wet wood with relative ease, but it may be more difficult to maneuver due to the wood fibers sticking to the chains of the saw. 

However, you might want to avoid cutting wood entirely when it’s wet if you’re pruning your tree. Sawing a wet tree that you don’t plan on removing can also encourage bacterial and fungal growth and decay.
