"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!"

"Curtis from Ace of Trades did an outstanding job replacing our builder’s grade wire shelving in our pantry with custom wood shelves. 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."

"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."

"I cannot recommend Drew Foley and Woodland Building Company highly enough! From start to finish, the experience was absolutely seamless. The crew is flat-out amazing—their talent is unmatched, and their craftsmanship is truly next-level. What really sets them apart, though, is their communication. Drew keeps everything incredibly clear and concise, so you always know exactly what to expect, when they’ll be there, and how the project is moving forward. If you want a team that is professional, remarkably skilled, and great to work with, this is it!"

Woodworking FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

If you don’t have a coping saw, you can use an angle grinder to cope crown molding, but it takes a little more precision. Place your molding down on your workbench, angle the grinder at a 45-degree angle toward the molding, and back cut the wood. You’ll need to carefully angle your grinder to accommodate the curves in the wood, and aim to remove around 1 inch from the profile of the molding.

It is common for a contractor to ask for a down payment before starting a project, especially for jobs that require purchasing materials and equipment or hiring a crew. The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost. While a request for up to 50% is not unusual, a contractor should not ask for more than that, and you should never pay for a project in full before the work has begun. To protect yourself, always discuss payment terms before starting and have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.
