"Great, Nick is an expert carpenter with extreme precision and detail oriented. He always responses timely to quotes, questions and appointments on site. Nick also takes time to understand what you are looking for, makes suggestions on the job, and always points out when there are certain aspects of your request that may not be cost efficient (like perfectly good wood that really doesn’t have to be replaced.),"

"We have used Byam Construction for multiple projects at our Falmouth home. Most recently they did two interior projects: the being the elevation of the ceiling in our family room; and the second the construction of a basement bathroom. Both projects were completed on time and within the budget quoted. The quality of the work was outstanding! Roger Byam and his staff are true professionals and I would highly recommend them."

Customers say: Quality work

"We would highly recommend Rudy Quispe for any home improvement project. He recently renovated a bathroom for us, and did an outstanding job. It was a challenging project, with a small space, and the finished product exceeded our expectations. With a contractor, you look for reliability, reasonable pricing, and quality. Rudy checks the box on all three. On top of that, he is great to work with and has excellent design ideas. We plan to work with Rudy on any of our home projects in the future. We have worked with many contractors over the past 40 years, and Rudy is top of the list."

Woodworking FAQs, answered by experts

The boards between floor joists are called bridging or blocking boards. These are the shortest pieces of wood in the flooring system—with beams being the longest and joists sitting somewhere in the middle—and they serve to reinforce the joists and help provide even support to the flooring above. Bridging specifically helps cut down on uneven and creaking floors in your living area.

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.

Wooden soffits, when properly cared for, can last between 10 and 25 years, depending on the type of wood and the climate you live in. Certain wood types will last longer than others, and you might want to consider the cost of replacing soffits when you break down the total project cost. While an initially higher-priced material might seem counterintuitive, it can make more financial sense if you don’t plan on moving. 

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.

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.
