"If I had one word to describe Elegance Custom Cabinetry it would be "Outstanding". From the beginning, you could tell the passion, Dmitry (the owner) had in custom cabinetry. During the process of designing our new kitchen we went through 3 other cabinet makers and all either seemed to hate what they did or were non-responsive to our questions. Dmitry and his team were professional, friendly, prompt, dedicated, and perfectionists. In any project, you will have issues or unexpected challenges...Elegance ALWAYS had solutions and ALWAYS addressed them promptly. I am confident that without Elegance and Dmitry, our kitchen would have taken twice as long, for twice the cost, and with half of the result. I could not more highly recommend Elegance Cabinetry to anyone."

"First Class Creations were very good to work with on a small project that involved cabinet modification in our kitchen. While they had not installed the cabinets, Cory was very helpful in arranging for â service beyond the. call of dutyâ . He arranged for Tommy to come to our home after he had finished their project and handle our needs. Both were excellent to work with. I would highly recommend them for your remodel project."

"Would definitely recommend Apple View! We hired him to replace our decking with composite boards, but he did so much more for us. When removing the boards he discovered some of the supports were starting to rot due to carpenter ants, and he replaced those and basically shored up the entire deck. He is very meticulous in his work and makes sure everything is safe and sturdy. We are very happy with the results!"

"Dustin was great he got our basement fixed up better than new after the recent thaw caused some unprecedented leaking. Courteous, clean and did the job right. Replaced drywall, framing and installed a new floating tile floor. He took the time to do everything the right way and was prompt and professional. He is top of the list for next time we need a project done big or small."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

On average, the cost to hire a carpenter ranges from about $75 to $100 per hour, depending on the type of carpentry, location, size of the job, and skill level of the carpenter. Get quotes from at least three carpenters in your area to determine the best price for your specific project.

Professionals ensure safe, thorough repairs using quality materials, extending the life of your structure.

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.

Whether or not it’s easier to cut wood when it’s wet versus dry depends largely on the type of tool you use and the wood you’re cutting. For example, a chain saw should still be able to cut through wet wood with relative ease, but it may be more difficult to maneuver due to the wood fibers sticking to the chains of the saw. 

However, you might want to avoid cutting wood entirely when it’s wet if you’re pruning your tree. Sawing a wet tree that you don’t plan on removing can also encourage bacterial and fungal growth and decay.
