"Dave and his crew did an awesome job building some wainscoting and trim over my fireplace. He designed it so it complemented and carried through the shape of the built in shelving on either side. It was all his design. It turned out better than I ever could have hoped for. Highly recommend."

"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."

"Bob Younger came to the house and we discussed everything I wanted done.  After I agreed to the price, the work was scheduled within a short period of time.  However, I needed to change the date of the closet installation, and they were very accommodating.  On the day of the installation, Justin arrived on time, and got to work immediately.  The work was finished in a few hours.   It was a very professional job, and Justin cleaned up any debris afterward.  I am very happy with the work that was done and would not hesitate to use their services again, and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

"Super honest and professional company. It s been awhile since I ve had such a positive experience with a company. I thought the floors in my newly purchased home needed refinishing but when Orest came to give me an estimate he said they only needed buffing and a coat of sealant. He could have easily sold a total redo but was so honest my family and I were impressed. He arrived promptly to do the work and when I stupidly walked on the floor too soon he came and repaired the damage at no charge. 10 stars for customer service!!!"

"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!"

"We couldn’t be more pleased with the work done by Nick and his crew! From start to finish it was a pleasure to work with them. We secured several bids and Nick’s was the only one that broke down the work by trade so we could see where most of the budget was going and make adjustments if needed. He handled all of the permit paperwork and follow up with the city. Every day when his crew left the basement was clean and tidy. Nick does beautiful custom cabinetry and we had him do the the bar and bar back. The work is exceptional and we’ve had many complements on the quality. He carried the same custom elements to the lolly column surrounds so they now look like architectural features instead of eyesores. He and his crew worked with us every step of the way to design an awesome space for us to enjoy. All the subcontractors were top notch as well. Nick was on site every day and coordinated trades so everything moved smoothly. He responded quickly to any and all questions we had. Over the years we’ve dealt with many contractors and he is outstanding. The work done is beautiful and was done at a fair price."

"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!"

Customers say: True professional

"Shane is extremely professional, very knowledgable, and does very precise in his work. We had to have new trim put in after having hardwoods redone and he did an amazing job. We were missing a special trim for around the kitchen and he came back when we were ready. He is very attentive to his work and ensures quality outcome. I will definitely call Shane again for any of our woodworking needs and refer him to friends and family. Thank you Shane!!!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

It is not recommended to cut or drill into LVL (laminated veneer lumber) beams. As major structural components of a home, their composite structure can be compromised by alterations, which can weaken them and lead to cracking over time. If you must make modifications to an LVL beam, it is crucial to consult a structural engineer or general contractor first. A professional can advise on whether it's safe and provide specifics on the appropriate bit size, depth, and directionality for any necessary drilling.

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.

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.

Yes, carpenters can fix squeaky floors. They have the expertise to identify the source of the squeak, whether it’s loose floorboards, subfloor issues, or joist problems. These experts also have the right tools and hands-on knowledge to secure the flooring and eliminate the noise, ensuring a long-lasting solution.
