"I recently had my shingle roof replaced and I?m very happy with the results. The team was professional, punctual, and completed the job efficiently. The quality of the work is excellent, and the new roof looks great. They kept the work area clean and communicated well throughout the process. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a roof replacement."

"Very well. The job, painting the exterior of my house with some replacement of clapboards, was completed expeditiously by a crew that cleaned up after itself every day. I was most impressed by the prep work -- the scraping of old paint from surfaces -- and how windows, doorknobs and other hardware were protected during the process. Even more, the price quoted and charged was less than that quoted by other contractors."

"I searched for local furniture repair service providers and one of the top business names that came up on the google search engines was Omondi woodworking, llc. After calling them, a technician scheduled an appointment to come evaluate my job the next day and  i was given a quote and the following day the sleeper sofa was completely repaired. The service was timely and the technician demonstrated a highly level of professionalism. I will highly recommend Omondi Woodworking, LLC and i will use them again for my furniture repairs/refinishing.

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

If you’re just replacing a few broken or damaged joists, you can expect to pay anywhere from $100 to $300 per joist. However, a complete installation for a home or room will take into account the cost of labor, which ranges from $25 to $40 per hour. Floor joist installation for an entire room, for example, can cost between $5,000 and $10,000, depending on the room's size and the materials used.

No, you do not usually tip a carpenter for their work. However, if you’ve been very happy with the level of service and quality of work, a 10% to 20% tip would likely be accepted with thanks. If you’re not sure, it can help to discuss the carpenter’s policy or preference for tipping before beginning the project.

Balusters provide vertical support to make sure your stair railing and/or deck is as sturdy and safe as possible. These spindles help hold up the railing so people walking up or down stairs have something strong to hold onto. They can also act as a unique design element if they’re custom-made to suit a specific style or size requirement.
