His craftsmanship is excellent and his attention to detail is evident in our new lovely staircase. We highly recommend Jason for any future carpentry projects."

"I reached out to Mike to repair some exterior trim that was damaged by woodpeckers and sparrows. Mike was responsive and very personable through the entire process. He and Juan were onsite exactly when they said they’d be and had the work completed within a few hours. The work was done to my satisfaction and their pricing was reasonable. I would hire Bedwell Construction again if I needed more work done."

"Adam was great to work with and we are very happy with the design and product selection. Adam focuses on the details, he enjoys it! This deck is much better than the original even when it was new. He used composite decking, aluminum rails on top of the wood frame. The complete deconstruction was included. Very affordable and professional. I will call Adam again if we need something similar."

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.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Most contractors do not charge for meetings, but it can depend on the project, mainly if it includes detailed consultations or project planning. For general estimates, homeowners shouldn't expect to be charged. Always ask up front about meeting fees to avoid surprises and ensure you know what’s included in the process.

Board and batten is a type of wainscotting that uses wider boards that are placed vertically, and it has a much more rustic aesthetic than wainscotting. Common wainscotting styles are raised-panel, flat-panel, and beadboard. Wainscotting is more intricate and will typically use more elegant, subtle trims compared to the more farmhouse-inspired boards of board and batten styles.

There are several mistakes you should avoid when using butcher block countertops. Don't place hot pots or pans directly on the surface, as this can crack the wood and cause permanent damage. Avoid leaving wet items sitting on the surface, and wipe up liquids as soon as possible to avoid stains.
