"Working with Ben at Creative Woodworking LLC was an absolute pleasure. Ben is not only a true craftsman but also someone who clearly enjoys what he does — and it shows in every detail of his work. The quality, creativity, and precision are top-notch. He took my ideas, added his own thoughtful suggestions, and delivered something even better than I imagined. Communication was easy, the process was smooth, and the end result is stunning. If you’re looking for beautifully crafted custom woodwork and a professional, I highly recommend Ben at Creative Woodworking LLC. You’ll love the experience (and the finished product)!"

"Michelle did a great job with double checking all the specs for the material order and helping me select a color for the pre-stained interior doors and mouldings to blend the old with the new of our remodel project, and Justin did a fantastic job on the install. In addition to installing the doors and hardware, every door has a stop! Great attention to detail, ownership of their work, and generous with their time!"

"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."

"Half of my house is nearly 100 years old, and this is where the kitchen is located. I wanted to keep with the style of the era, but also get some modern updates for functionality. Cory and his team did an outstanding job. From the initial CAD drawings to the end of job tweaking and everything in between, they went above and beyond my expectations. The quality of construction and expert installation (Thank you Tommy!) on a custom job in an old home was not a simple task, but these guys give great attention to and care about the details which show up in the end result. The project was done on time. Cory had an immediate interest in hearing and understanding what I was asking for. His good and timely communication was also very appreciated. Quality workmanship. I will definitely hire again."

"Dustin Monahan was very efficient in both his work and in his analysis of the problems of the project. All of his recommendations were accepted. His price for the project was very fair. He was very clean and neat in his work. He contacted me every day and explained what he intended to accomplish on that day and worked according to schedule. He is very personable and I would highly recommend him. Would definitely use him again if needed."

"This was a tricky project which required replacing deck footings without removing the deck or the gazebo on the deck. They were able to start right away and completed the project in 3 days. OUTSTANDING SERVICE!"

"We feel VERY fortunate to have found Manuel. We had a leather sofa and loveseat which needed to be reupholstered and Manuel did an absolutely beautiful job. From helping us select the leather to delivering the final product, he was professional and easy to work with. He took a couple of pretty worn out pieces and made them better than new. His work is impeccable and he is so nice to work with. He does amazing work and we will use him again if we have another project, and we put him first on the list of upholsterers in the Twin Cities. Anyone with an upholstery job should be using Manuel without question."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Yes, many repair services include blade sharpening as part of the maintenance package.

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.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.
