"Jason replaced our existing newell posts and railing with modern posts hand rails and metal horizontal balusters. The end result looks great, just how we wanted! Jason is very detail oriented, takes his time to do the job right and communicates effectively so we knew exactly what to expect. Highly recommend!"

"Grande Remodeling did more than just pain. They removed all of the old flooring from the whole house and replaced it. They painted every room including the trim, ceilings and doors. They also did plumbing work and installed 2 pet doors. They were fast, polite, and reasonably priced. Even Julio's wife was very helpful. I would recommend them for everything."

"He shows up on time. He communicates very well. We had a plumbing emergency and he came right over. Very nice gentleman. He has fair prices and didn't rake us over the coals. He does excellent work, cleans up after himself, and takes the trash with him. He put our furniture together, hung our ceiling fans and lights, fixed our plumbing issue, etc."

"Guillermo and Karina gave me a good price on their estimate to do all kinds of remodeling work for my 3 bedroom condo. Their team worked quickly and carefully. We had good communication as the job progressed. I’m very happy with the drywalling, painting, vinyl plank flooring and carpeting they installed. Also the did a great job re-coating the two bath tubs. I would recommend them to anyone."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

Rustic and modern farmhouse styles are currently the most popular. These include rustic and antique furniture, muted colors, clean lines, eclectic decor, and natural materials. Some other popular farmhouse styles include the following:

  • Coastal farmhouse: Creates a lighter, airier feel with soft colors and blue palettes, along with gold

  • Colonial farmhouse: Focuses on real antique furniture and decor

  • French farmhouse: Leans on French country architecture and design by including marble and lighter-colored metals, like zinc

  • Industrial farmhouse: Includes thick, chunky furniture and dark metals

  • Scandinavian farmhouse: Usually includes lighter wood colors and more refined furniture

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.

Spindles on a deck may also be called balusters or pickets. While not as important to the structural support of the deck as the rail posts, they play a critical role in ensuring the deck is safe to use by closing in large gaps in the railing. For this reason, balusters must be no more than 4 inches away from one another.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.
