"Hired Denton Interiors to build a custom deck around my pool and concrete patio area. It is beautiful! He built the steps coming down from the back door and the other areas onto the patio just how I wanted them to be. He painted it as well! Many compliments from neighbors and guests. Very pleased he kept me in the loop and made sure things were as I wanted. If issues came up, he was very quick to solve them with my approval. Very reasonable price for quality work and he will work within your budget. Friendly, honest, and easy to work with. Highly recommend!"

"Daniel is an excellent contractor. He completed all the work I requested in a timely manner and for the original cost that was quoted. I have since hired him to do additional work in my home and will continue to use him. He is fair and honest and will tell you if you how to save money on repairs. I would highly recommend Daniel for any work you need."

"Fred did a great job of listening to me and making sure we were on the same page so I'd be happy with his end product. He took pictures as he went so I could see the progress he made even when I wasn't on site. I had a tight budget and he was able to negotiate the level of finish to make it fit my finances. He even came back and did an unrelated small repair project for me after the bathroom was done."

Woodworking FAQs, answered by experts

It is common for a contractor to ask for a down payment before starting a project, especially for jobs that require purchasing materials and equipment or hiring a crew. The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost. While a request for up to 50% is not unusual, a contractor should not ask for more than that, and you should never pay for a project in full before the work has begun. To protect yourself, always discuss payment terms before starting and have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.

While carpenters and woodworkers perform similar tasks, their focus differs. A carpenter is typically responsible for the structural woodwork involved in construction, such as framing, installing sheathing, hanging kitchen cabinets, and installing trusses. In contrast, a woodworker handles more intricate and custom projects, like building custom furniture, installing wainscoting, and creating detailed interior trim and moldings. Based on these definitions, many woodworkers can perform the tasks of a carpenter, but it's always best to discuss your specific project with a professional to ensure they have the necessary skills.

Yes, carpenters can fix squeaky floors. They have the expertise to identify the source of the squeak, whether it’s loose floorboards, subfloor issues, or joist problems. These experts also have the right tools and hands-on knowledge to secure the flooring and eliminate the noise, ensuring a long-lasting solution.

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.

There are several mistakes you should avoid when using butcher block countertops. Don't place hot pots or pans directly on the surface, as this can crack the wood and cause permanent damage. Avoid leaving wet items sitting on the surface, and wipe up liquids as soon as possible to avoid stains.
