"Renew crew knocked it out of the park and exceeded expectations! They built a fence and a deck for us. We ran into a couple of unexpected costs when removing the old deck of some rotting wood on the house. They fixed that as well and did not price gouge us at all. They also replaced a window and built a retaining wall that tied into our project perfectly! They were quick, and very efficient, but did not sacrifice quality. Chris, the carpenter is exceptional! I worked construction for over a decade and have not seen a carpenter as good as Chris! Rob the owner was a pleasure to work with. Very knowledgeable in his field and had great vision. I seriously don’t think we could’ve found a better company to build our project. They also beat out other competitive bids and started within the week. We love our new deck and fence. Again we are blown away by the quality and attention to detail."

"Seth is a very skilled woodworker. We needed custom trim work done and he was excellent--able to match what we already had. We are so happy with the outcome. He was very efficient --got the work done in the time frame he estimated. His rates were also very reasonable. We are now looking for other projects that we can hire him back to do for us. We highly recommend him!"

"Green Bridge Designs was a referral from my neighbors. One that had them do a remodel and another neighbor had just had a smaller job done. I met with the owner, Paul who was very helpful because he offered a solution that fit my budget. A double window was removed and replaced with exterior siding and mid century wood paneling inside. I never liked having the window so it was a great idea. I am not an expert but the work was clearly explained, all my questions answered, and Paul was proactive, considerate, and what I would definitely call a master carpenter. Inside, I can not tell any difference between the old and the new paneling and floorboard. The exterior siding looks original. Also, it was nice that the wood was stained and dried off-site prior to interior installation due to the lingering stain odor. I am at least the third referral from Mayfair and Green Bridge Designs definitely has my vote for all future projects, big or small. Green Bridge Designs was easy to work with, offered me an innovative solution to keep me on budget with their reasonable rates. Very friendly and nice people. I highly recommend!"

"It is always a pleasure to have Matt Coning work in our home. He installed almost all of our LVP flooring throughout the house. Great workmanship. Today, Matt installed recessed lighting in our living room. The job turned out to be way more difficult than anticipated, but Matt finished in a timely manner. He works to upbeat, positive music, doesn’t cuss when he hits a snag, and cleans up after himself. There are other great craftsmen at Mr Handyman Lees Summit, but today we had Matt. He is a pleasure to have in our home."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

Many contractors prefer checks because they’re easy to track and have no associated fees. However, many also accept credit cards (though they might add a fee to cover their processing costs).

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.

Yes, Corian® and other solid surface materials can be cut with standard woodworking tools, such as a circular saw or a jigsaw. However, it is crucial to use the correct type of blade to avoid damaging the material.

For a circular saw, a tungsten carbide-tipped blade is required; a triple chip grind blade is highly recommended. For a jigsaw, you should use a fine-tooth down-cutting blade. Do not use blades designed for cutting wood, as they can cause microfractures that weaken the edges of the countertop. A diamond blade is also unnecessary, as those are designed for harder materials like natural stone, which Corian is not.

After cutting, the edge will be rough. It is essential to sand and smooth the cut edge to prevent microfractures, which can eventually compromise the integrity of the countertop.

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.
