"Art was a pleasure to work with. He responded promptly and gave a very reasonably priced quote. We initially had him do the trim and baseboard in two bedrooms. He did such a good job with that that we had him build a mantle around our fireplace as well. We could not be happier with his and his team's work. Total professionals and totally worth it."

"Tim and his team are awesome! They worked on our home with efficiency and care. They replaced about 5 different sections of siding and soffit and rehung the gutters within a day. We would recommend them to anyone. Thanks Team!"

"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 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.

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.

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.

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. 

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.
