From log to final form wood working. Portable sawmill service that can come to your home and process logs to lumber. I have 15+ years professional woodworking background and a full service woodworking shop. I build furniture, cabinets, and even acoustic instruments from locally processed lumber cut on my own sawmill. I believe honesty, professional counsel, and integrity in work ethic is necessary for accomplishing a task effectively. I have been satisfying customers for years with this simple model and philosophy: "If I wouldn't put it in my house, it shouldn't go in yours." Whether it be log processing to lumber, professional woodworking services, or the full "Log to final form" experience, I am here to help serve your needs. Thanks!

"I call him the wood working Jedi. We were building a sports bar and there was a lot of detailed woodwork. We would bring him the wood and he would cut it to the dimensions we needed. I was very happy with his services and he completed everything as requested."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.
