"I hired Far North Woodworks to take down an existing pool deck and build a new one. Nate provided me with a few different options and then had plans made to submit for the permit. He completed the deck with good timing to use for the summer. We love how it turned out and will definitely call him for any future projects!"

"We hired Rodney /Jack of Trades after meeting with him and found him to be extremely helpful. We needed a complete bathroom remodel from floor to ceiling. The room needed to be gutted and I thought I know exactly what I wanted. After discussing it with Rodney, he helped me through the planning stage and led me in the right direction to attain my "wow" bathroom I was looking for. We also had him tile a sunroom and had him do some new doors and outside repairs. The work was done timely, communication was awesome and everything came out even better than I expected. Rodney is so easy to work with. I would highly recommend Rodney for any building/renovations that you need."

He was professional, courteous and easy to work with throughout the project. The quality of his workmanship exceeded our expectations and the final results look fantastic. We would highly recommend him for any home improvement work."

"Dan and crew gave me a price to repair my 36 foot deck that fell off my house due to big ice block coming from roof. Dans price was considerably less than the 2 fancy high priced guys. No lack in quality. Dan found my deck collapsed because it was not flashed and nails were used instead of lag bolts. My deck looks better than before and much safer"

"Rick also did a missing window fix, interior door replacement and exterior door jamb repair, so he’s quite versatile. and had creative cost-saving ideas. His workmanship is good, rates reasonable and he is pleasant to work with. He got to me quickly because I needed to have the work done prior to a scheduled painter could start. Very accommodating to my schedule."

"Brendan did a great job on assembling four pieces wood furniture. He had to construct a wood part that was missing from the materials. It turned out to be rather complex work and we appreciated his attention to detail. Hope we can work with him again!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

A contract should outline the scope of work, timelines, costs, payment schedule, and materials used for clarity and protection.

While you can perform many routine home maintenance jobs yourself, it’s often a good idea to bring pros in for certain tasks. HVAC maintenance, fireplace and chimney inspections, foundation repairs, and roof inspections and repairs should be handled by professionals who know what to look for and can safely perform repairs. You may also find it helpful to hire a local house cleaning service to help with deep cleaning.

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.

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.
