"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."

"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!"

"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."

"Mike and Johnny did a great job! They gave a good quote and said they could start the following week. They did the job faster than quoted and were very meticulous with the details. They were even on their hands and knee wiping dust off our floors before they left each day. Already looking at hiring for another project we are working on!"

"Beyond expectations. I needed a deck removed, patio in and landscaping in front and back. Jason is a talented designer. It's like he could read my mind. He and his crew were very professional, cleaned up before they left each day, and delivered what was expected. I had rotting wood on my house and they took care of that for me too. Highly recommend if you want a job done well and right!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Many modern homes have soffits, but older ones don’t, and you may be wondering why. Older homes have eaves that extend further beyond the home and help to circulate air, negating the need for a soffit. This style of building has faded away, therefore, modern homes need separate soffit installation. Modern soffits are more efficient than this older style and require less material to construct, saving homeowners money.

It is not recommended to cut or drill into LVL (laminated veneer lumber) beams. As major structural components of a home, their composite structure can be compromised by alterations, which can weaken them and lead to cracking over time. If you must make modifications to an LVL beam, it is crucial to consult a structural engineer or general contractor first. A professional can advise on whether it's safe and provide specifics on the appropriate bit size, depth, and directionality for any necessary drilling.

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.

Landscape timbers can last 10 to 20 years in the ground when installed correctly. Pressure-treated timbers will last longer than non-treated ones, as pressure treatment makes the wood more rot-resistant. Wood exposed to high moisture levels or extreme temperature and weather fluctuations may not last as long as wood in drier areas with more consistent weather.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.
