"Claudio and his crew did an amazing job. They stripped my home down to the wood. He found areas of rot as well as pests and clean those up. He sealed every window pipe with waterproof tape. He repaired rot. He waterproofed and weatherproof the entire home, then re-shingles using high-quality materials to ensure my home would be waterproof endurable. He replaced my front porch, found more areas of rot and opened up the front and made my home look amazing. He discussed every step with me and planned with me the entire time. His information is solid and always leads you in the right direction. I am so fortunate to work with this man."

"Truly one of the best experiences we have ever had with home handyman services. Scott came by and scoped out the job expertly and listening carefully to our needs. He is amazingly knowledgeable and offered wonderful suggestions about our overall needs as well as the specific job we contacted him about. His colleague, Matt, followed up and actually did the work. He is a remarkable technician, understanding exactly what we needed (in this case cabinet remodeling and replacement) and followed up ensuring that the work was precise and not only met our requirements but also ended up looing better than we had expected. He is meticulous in his work, but also highly sensitive to ensuring that everything he does leaves the area cleaner than when he began. He gave us excellent suggestions on other work we were exploring. Scott and Matt are really wonderful people. I followed up with Scott with questions, and he said we are his customer now -- feels like being part of his family!"

"Mike and his crew do excellent work .I hired them to replace a kitchen window and a sliding door. We were so pleased with the work that we had them re-side the back of the house replace the hatchway ,and replace all the corner boards with azek trim. The crew are polite and neat always made sure to clean up at the end of each day. They are true craftsman . Mike is very good at keeping us informed about the job and start times . His quotes are fair and I always received them within 24hrs. Mike is very good at communicating with the customer ....no Cape Cod callbacks with this guy. Would highly recommend Mike and the crew and look forward to working with them again Tom And Sue Forestdale"

"I couldn’t be happier with the work done on my kitchen remodel and patio door replacement. From start to finish, the contractor was professional, reliable, and detail-oriented. The quality of craftsmanship is excellent — every cut, finish, and fitting looks perfect. The kitchen turned out even better than I imagined, and the new patio door not only looks great but operates smoothly and seals perfectly. Communication was great throughout the entire project. They showed up on time, kept the workspace clean each day, and made sure I was informed about every step of the process. It’s clear they take pride in their work and truly care about customer satisfaction. I highly recommend this contractor to anyone looking for top-notch quality and a stress-free experience. I’ll definitely be using them again for future projects!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Some states require carpenters to be licensed to perform forms of carpentry, such as framing. The license requires a certain amount of experience and to pass an examination. In states that don’t require carpenters to be licensed, they must be licensed as a contractor if they work independently rather than solely as a subcontractor under a licensed builder. Use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to find out whether a potential carpenter is licensed in your state.

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.

If you don’t have a power saw with a blade where you can adjust the angle, you could use a miter box and hand saw to make the cuts. The miter box contains wide slots to support the piece of baseboard and other narrow slots to accommodate the blade of the hand saw. However, it’s tough to make non-standard cuts beyond 30 or 45 degrees when using a miter box.

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.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.
