"We had the trim done throughout our downstairs, and I honestly can?t believe what a difference it made. They were so easy to work with professional, respectful of our home, and knocked everything out much quicker than I expected. They really listened to what I wanted, paid attention to the little details, and the finished product turned out even better than I had pictured. It completely transformed the space and made our downstairs feel so much more finished and put together. If you?re thinking about having trim work done, I can?t recommend them enough. We?re so happy with how everything turned out!"

"I can’t recommend Chad highly enough. He’s done several projects for me so far: replacing my exterior French door frame with brick molding, installing a new interior window sill, and adding drip edge/smart siding trim around the exterior of the house. Every job was done with care, skill, and attention to detail. He communicated clearly the whole way through, explained what needed to be done, and made sure I understood the plan before he got started. And he left everything clean when the work was finished, which says a lot about his professionalism. Beyond doing great work, he’s just a great person. Honest, dependable, and someone I fully trust in my home. I’ll absolutely be hiring him again for future projects."

"The owner of the company was on the job, working with his crew. They completed contract work, did extras, did a favor for a neighbor and cleaned the driveway. We have recommended them to neighbors, had them come for another job and plan to call them in the spring. Cliffy Care is the perfect name for the company because they do CARE about the quality of their work."

Customers say: Terrific value

"I recently hired Mike from Whiting Wood Works for furniture assembly, and TV wall mounting, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the service. Mike was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly throughout the entire process. One thing I really appreciate was how flexible he was with scheduling, he worked around my availability and showed up right on time, which made the whole experience stress-free. His attention to detail and craftsmanship were outstanding. Everything was assembled and mounted flawlessly and securely. It’s clear that Mike takes great pride in his work, and it truly shows in the quality of the results. I highly recommend Mike and Whiting Wood Works to anyone in need of top-notch service. You won’t be disappointed! 10 Stars."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

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.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.
