"Reasonably priced and quality work. We had to have a supporting wall removed to enlarge a children's classroom at our church. This project had to be done so we would be able to use the classroom the following Sunday. J&M came in and removed the wall, installed a support beam, and finished the project so the two rooms looked like they had always been a single room. They cleaned up afterwards and we were able to use the room the next Sunday. Thank you for all that was done. Ed Building and Maintenance Coordinator."

"Nick at Trailblazer Woodworks was absolutely incredible to work with. He made a great effort at listening to what we wanted done and worked hard to make our vision come to life. He also made some great recommendations at small details we hadnâ t thought of, such as sizing of drawers to accommodate our spice collection and a stand up pull out drawer for our cooking utensils. We are very happy with our kitchen and will recommend him to anyone in the future! Thanks, Nick!"

"Carolyn was the first to respond to my Home Advisor posting,(within 1/2 Hr), on New Years Eve. She offered me the first appointment available, the day after New Years Day. Larry arrived on time, introduced himself and was ready to go to work. He was polite, personable and a diligent craftsman. He had a pleasant demeanor and wasted no time, completing the project. He appreciated our work space accommodations and appeared genuinely shocked at our generous tip, upon completion. If this service provider was needed again, we would ask for Larry. So yes, we would use this service again and encourage others, to give them strong consideration. Porch was the other Home Advisor led and they respond at 5 PM, nine hours after the project was completed. This positive feedback was supplied to Caroln, when she did a follow up call, the day after completion. A survey was supplied by the BBB and completed, later that same day. A Home Advisor live phone survey, was completed, days prior to the email. Ken"

J&M was created as a business that will eventually be handed down to my sons. The tasks the business handles are those that require general building and maintenance skills. Any skills acquired for these jobs were ones that I learned from my dad or grandfather, both of which were licensed builders. I stand behind all work the business does with a 100% money back guarantee.

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

Before hiring a carpenter, the most important thing is to make sure they are properly qualified and insured for the job. It’s more than reasonable to ask your prospective carpenter for customer references, as well as about their licensing and insurance. You should also consider choosing a carpenter that specializes in your specific project area to ensure high-quality results. 

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.

While the Arts and Crafts movement inspired many architectural elements, the primary styles from the time include Craftsman, Tudor Revivals, bungalows, and Mission homes. You'll see elements of these styles in homes, churches, museums, and schools—particularly Country Day schools from the era.

Many people, including professionals in the field, use baluster and spindle interchangeably to describe the vertical components of a railing (or technically, a balustrade). However, there are subtle or distinct differences, depending on who you ask. The most common interpretation is that spindles are thin or delicate versions of balusters.
