"The job was done quickly and efficiently. I will use them for any projects I need to be done in the future. If it is something that they can work with, that is. So far, the price that I was quoted for this project was absolutely the best that I had been quoted by anyone else. Jose, was in and out in about 15 minutes with this project. Although it was nothing major he still got it finished quickly."

"Paul and his team did excellent work on a large deck re-build and repair. He was able to keep pricing affordable by working with us to keep some of the existing deck that was in good condition. His work on the decking, stair risers, and support beams will give us another long period of time before we have to do any maintenance. Pauls team is personable and professional and we enjoyed working with all of them to get our deck usable again."

"If trustworthiness and communication are very important to you then Greg is your guy! Our basement took a couple of months to complete. During the process, no more than 2 days went by that Greg wasn't in touch with me and any question I had he responded within minutes if not immediately! (Unlike others that take days to respond if they even respond at all) We are happy with how our basement turned out and we are working with him now on our kitchen reno and then after that we will have him build a garage for us."

"Jordon absolutely crushed it on our pergola! We bought one from Lowe’s, and he built the whole thing himself for us. He didn’t rush anything and made sure every detail was right. I even had him come back to add a custom gutter to the front of it. He’s also just an awesome person to work with! Super friendly, respectful, easy to talk to, and kept me updated the whole way through!"

Woodworking FAQs, 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.

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.

Many people, including professionals in the field, use baluster and spindle interchangeably to describe the vertical components of a railing (or technically, a balustrade). However, there are subtle or distinct differences, depending on who you ask. The most common interpretation is that spindles are thin or delicate versions of balusters.

A contract should outline the scope of work, timelines, costs, payment schedule, and materials used for clarity and protection.

If you’re just replacing a few broken or damaged joists, you can expect to pay anywhere from $100 to $300 per joist. However, a complete installation for a home or room will take into account the cost of labor, which ranges from $25 to $40 per hour. Floor joist installation for an entire room, for example, can cost between $5,000 and $10,000, depending on the room's size and the materials used.
