"I purchased an Angie's List coupon for $200 worth of work for $100 towards a full upholstery job. After they were delivered pictures of my chair, condition, and materials, gave a decent quote - slightly above competitors, but decent, and I went with it. And I trusted the prior positive Angies List reviews. The chair was delivered and materials selected, then I was told that since the chair was smaller than expected I was going to be given a "discount," however the discount given was taken off of a base price $100 over the originally quoted price. There went the Angie's List coupon value. Later the owner told me the pricing discrepancy my fault since I didn't debate the price up front - not an endeavor I want, or should have to undertake. 
I was quoted a finished product in 10-14 days (not business, calendar, I specified), and was told I would get emails with pictures of the job, and updates along the way. The wood trim would look "like new," and everything would be rehabilitated. Awesome! 
Except, after a month I hadn't gotten an email, call, smoke signal, etc. I figured that my chair must have been finished after passing the three-times-past-due-date, so I stopped in to pick it up - and was told the fabric just arrived. It was still going to take 10 days, but they'd let me know this time. 
They did call me. And when I picked up the chair, the upholstery was (and is) really nice. I have zero problem with it, in fact. BUT, the price was inflated after the detailed estimate - presumably to recoup the $100 Angie's List discount - which I brought up when paying for the work they'd done. I was told that "nobody would do it cheaper," which I don't believe since I'd gotten quotes of between half to 2/3rd the price I paid for the same piece. I was told the delay of almost 40 days instead of 10 was out of their control due to "fabric shipping time" when I could've shipped my entire chair out of state for a guaranteed re-upholstery job withing 30 days for less cost. I can't buy into any of the story. 
When I picked it up, there were chunks of their cushion material still duct-taped to the bottom after the "thorough" rehab. The wood that was supposedly going to look like new was, honestly, awful, and clearly worse off than when I dropped the chair off when I compared original pictures vs final product - when refinishing wood at a premium price, I'd expect refinishing, not somebody trying to cover up the screw-ups with a brown magic marker. Worse wood after their "work" than when I brought it in, I assume because they were late on delivery and rushed the job, perhaps.
Regardless. Great upholstery, truly. Nice shop, nice staff, no problem with that, it's truly great. But shady on the pricing that eliminated my original "discount", blew way past their product deadline, did a poor job on the woodwork... and then outwardly told me as a customer that I was the problem. And, I paid double the price of other quotes based on reputation? 
Not willing bring them more work. But I hope they can correct the issues and serve others well, since they seem like they have a solid core.

Woodworking FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

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. 

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

There are several mistakes you should avoid when using butcher block countertops. Don't place hot pots or pans directly on the surface, as this can crack the wood and cause permanent damage. Avoid leaving wet items sitting on the surface, and wipe up liquids as soon as possible to avoid stains.
