"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."

"Luke called me back and came by my house to look into the project and give me an estimate the day that I called him. He was friendly, professional, and prompt. He worked around my schedule, which I greatly appreciated. My project involved adjusting doors so they would fit properly within their frames."

"Tate did a fantastic job on rebuilding my old wood deck. I replaced with trex and it looks great! He took extra time to reinforce the joices underneath and ensure all structures were safe. He laid the new trex with exact angles and also added a new railing and pole supports. He was up front about the timeline and costs and sent progress pictures during the rebuilding. Everything was tidy and cleaned up during the process Highly recommend!"

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.

If you don’t have a coping saw, you can use an angle grinder to cope crown molding, but it takes a little more precision. Place your molding down on your workbench, angle the grinder at a 45-degree angle toward the molding, and back cut the wood. You’ll need to carefully angle your grinder to accommodate the curves in the wood, and aim to remove around 1 inch from the profile of the molding.

It is common for a contractor to ask for a down payment before starting a project, especially for jobs that require purchasing materials and equipment or hiring a crew. The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost. While a request for up to 50% is not unusual, a contractor should not ask for more than that, and you should never pay for a project in full before the work has begun. To protect yourself, always discuss payment terms before starting and have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.

Most contractors do not charge for meetings, but it can depend on the project, mainly if it includes detailed consultations or project planning. For general estimates, homeowners shouldn't expect to be charged. Always ask up front about meeting fees to avoid surprises and ensure you know what’s included in the process.

If you’re just replacing a few broken or damaged joists, you can expect to pay anywhere from $100 to $300 per joist. However, a complete installation for a home or room will take into account the cost of labor, which ranges from $25 to $40 per hour. Floor joist installation for an entire room, for example, can cost between $5,000 and $10,000, depending on the room's size and the materials used.
