"Ryan installed custom bookcases in our library that were over 11 feet high, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. He was responsive, worked efficiently, and maintained a clean workspace throughout the entire project. He completed everything within four days, and the quality of his work is outstanding — especially for such an affordable price point. What really stood out was that he went above and beyond even after the project was finished. We hadn’t ordered our cabinet knobs in time, and Ryan came back later to install them for us without hesitation. That level of service and attention to detail is hard to find. I would highly recommend Ryan for any custom woodworking project and will definitely hire him again in the future."

"Philip and his crew upgraded our old porch that had old outdated Jalocy windows to modern all season windows along with a complete remodel making what had been a porch with very limited usage a room we can now use year round. We are more than happy with his work. Everything was done very professionally and exactly according to the timeline we were provided. We are now in the process of replacing the remaining windows in our home. Philip is once again doing a great job. I would highly recommend this company"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

There are two ways you can cut trim for doorways: with a miter saw or a table saw. Mitered joints need a 45-degree angle. If you’re unfamiliar with a miter saw, you might want to consider buying extra trim pieces or choosing butted joints instead. One wrong cut, and you’ll need to power up the saw again with a new piece. 

Butted joints—also called shaker style—don’t need a 45-degree angle. Instead, your side pieces attach perpendicularly to the header trim and only require a straight cut.

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.

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.
