"Appreciated how quickly Darren contacted me. Had a professional, friendly attitude and was genuinely glad to do a one day job on the weekend. Darren, Trent and Caden remained good natured as they worked on a HOT day. Deck is fixed and looks great."

"Brandon did an amazing job painting my bathroom and taking care of several odd jobs around the house! His attention to detail and pride in his work really show. He genuinely cares about the quality of what he does and making sure everything is done right. He's also very reasonably priced, which is becoming harder and harder to find! It's refreshing to work with someone who takes pride in their work, is dependable, and offers great quality without breaking the bank. I highly recommend Brandon and will definitely be calling him again for future projects!"

"We are thrilled with our recent experience from Creekside Custome Construction ! From day one, they were open, honest, and easy to talk to. If any small issue came up, they communicated clearly so we aware of everything. They even worked late into the evening multiple times just to get the job done right and on schedule. It is rare to find a contractor who works this hard and treats your home with such respect. Five stars!""

"Excellent work. We purchased natural cherry cabinets in shaker style, with the panels made of solid wood rather than veneer. That is more difficult work, as each panel has to be constructed from several planks. Moreover, the clear finish would leave any flaws more visible. Simply put, the doors are beautiful--flawless in both construction and finish. They are similar in quality to custom cherry furniture we own."

Woodworking FAQs, 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.

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.

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. 

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.

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.
