"HomeCare Maintenance powerwashed my deck, pergola, chimney, lattice, and the back of my house. Peter replaced 3 deck boards that were weak. He cut back the overgrowth around the lattice, stained the deck and sealed the chimney. I will be using HomeCare Maintenace again."

"I can't recommend Mass Works LLC enough! Thomas transformed my 19 year old deck into something truly amazing. I shared my vision with him, and he suggested incorporating rebar into the design-a suggestion that completely elevated the final look. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are outstanding. He listened to my ideas, added his expertise, and the result is a beautiful, modern deck that I absolutely love. If you're looking for a contractor who combines professionalism, and quality, Mass Works is the one to call!"

"The young men that came with Bryan to do the job, amazing. The were there every day, worked very hard, and did a GREAT JOB. Did the work in two days, came back a third to do just a small thing I had requested, after the fact. Bryan did it no questions asked. Prices are so reasonable for the hard work they did. Will hire anytime we need anything done to yard. They are coming back this week to do more work. Love them, they are great."

"This company replaced our second floor deck, added a roof over it, framed and screened it in. They were professional, on time and communicated clearly. Their bid was very reasonable. Best and most importantly, their work was excellent. Should we need any more work done on the house, we will call C-Mak Carpentry."

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.

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.

Board and batten is a type of wainscotting that uses wider boards that are placed vertically, and it has a much more rustic aesthetic than wainscotting. Common wainscotting styles are raised-panel, flat-panel, and beadboard. Wainscotting is more intricate and will typically use more elegant, subtle trims compared to the more farmhouse-inspired boards of board and batten styles.

The boards between floor joists are called bridging or blocking boards. These are the shortest pieces of wood in the flooring system—with beams being the longest and joists sitting somewhere in the middle—and they serve to reinforce the joists and help provide even support to the flooring above. Bridging specifically helps cut down on uneven and creaking floors in your living area.

Joists and beams are both part of the flooring system above your basement, with the beams spanning the length of your home and getting support from vertical posts underneath, and joists usually spanning half the width of your home with no support posts underneath. The floor joists provide even support to the subflooring and flooring above, and they distribute that load to the beams. The beams then distribute that load down through the support posts to the foundation.
