"First of all there is no category for stairs, which is what we had done. They took out the builders grade dilapidated boards and installed beautiful oak. I've not seen a level of craftsmanship or pride in workmanship as we got with Art's Finish Carpentry. The job came out better than I could have ever imagined. The crew was here, on time every day: Finished on time , every day. They completely finished in about 4 days. A complete switchback (u turn) style staircase, with two landings. They were so kind they even cut the carpet back in the hallway upstairs, installed oak nosing (to connect the balusters) and then made sure the carpet was perfectly reset in it's new position. This after we told them we were eventually replacing the carpet. They were just amazing. If you have hired anyone else, fire them. Call Art. If you are looking for someone -- I couldn't recommend anyone more highly than this company. I wish I could add pictures here; go check out my Google review for pictures."

"I had rotted trim and shutters repaired and painted along with our garage door. Tim’s company did excellent work, were very friendly, finished in a good time and at a reasonable price. Having him quote more projects as we speak. Would definitely recommend."

"5/5 Highly Recommend! I recently hired the 4 Seasons Painting & Drywall team for an interior painting project, and I couldn't be more impressed. From the initial communication, walkthrough to the final cleanup, they were the definition of professional. Chris, Will, Brad, Travis and Scott handled the entire job with great care, but what really stood out was their attention to detail. The lines are perfectly sharp, the coverage is flawless, and they took the time to ensure everything was prepped correctly. It’s rare to find a crew that delivers such high-quality work while being efficient and respectful of your home. If you're looking for painters who do the job right the first time, look no further!"

"Tom and his crew rebuilt our composite deck in the June-July 2018 time frame. We could not be happier with the job. The Built To Last crew was very professional and definitely went the extra mile to ensure that the rebuilt deck was better than new. Everything is very secure and tight. During the construction, Tom made several suggestions to keep the price down while not compromising quality and our satisfaction. Tom provided price transparencies for all materials. Greatly appreciated! We would definitely use Tom and his crew again. Highly recommend Built To Last Construction. Just as a note... this was a very large deck with a great deal of work."

Customers say: Quick response

"I had the pleasure of working with Best Value Home Improvements, led by Ed Klockner, and the results were outstanding. They took on a stairway repair that most contractors wouldn’t touch. Our dog had absolutely destroyed it, and several places were hesitant to even commit to getting it back to true paint-grade condition. Ed and his team didn’t hesitate—and they delivered. The stairway looks like new again, with clean lines, solid craftsmanship, and zero shortcuts. In addition, the trim work they completed around the house was exceptional. Crisp, precise, and clearly done by people who actually care about the details. This is real craftsmanship, not rushed cosmetic work. They showed up on time every day, worked full days without disappearing halfway through, and charged a fair price for the level of quality delivered—which is rare these days. If you have a project that requires expert craftsmanship and you want it done right the first time, Best Value Home Improvements is the team"

Woodworking FAQs, 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.

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

Board and batten is a type of wainscotting that uses wider boards that are placed vertically, and it has a much more rustic aesthetic than wainscotting. Common wainscotting styles are raised-panel, flat-panel, and beadboard. Wainscotting is more intricate and will typically use more elegant, subtle trims compared to the more farmhouse-inspired boards of board and batten styles.

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.

There are two ways you can cut trim for doorways: with a miter saw or a table saw. Mitered joints need a 45-degree angle. If you’re unfamiliar with a miter saw, you might want to consider buying extra trim pieces or choosing butted joints instead. One wrong cut, and you’ll need to power up the saw again with a new piece. 

Butted joints—also called shaker style—don’t need a 45-degree angle. Instead, your side pieces attach perpendicularly to the header trim and only require a straight cut.
