"From start to finish, was a pleasure to work with. Started with an honest estimate and timeline. Began work on time daily and kept a very clean work area in my yard while building my deck. Would keep me up to speed if there was any issues and provided efficient solutions. Finished the job on time and on budget! Very professional and extremely reliable! Not to mention the quality of my new deck is amazing, came out even better than I had imagined it to be!"

"Joshua was professional and courteous both days he was here. He repaired a fence and replaced a gate outside damaged by Hurricane Laura. On the interior he removed damaged paneling on an entire wall and replaced it adding new insulation along with all the molding and trim. Would definitely recommend! Eric T"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Carpentry is a skilled trade and requires many years of experience to acquire the skills necessary to do the job efficiently and correctly. Because every home requires a carpenter at some stage of the building process, carpenters are typically in high demand. The higher the skill level, the higher the hourly rate the carpenter can charge.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

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.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

Labor plays a significant role in the installation of butcher block countertops. Depending on who you hire, your location, the customization level of the project, and whether the wood is already finished, you may pay a professional between $10 and $150 per square foot to install a butcher block countertop. On average, expect the per-hour price to run between $60 and $100.
