"I am so glad that I chose H&M Contractor LLC to replace a middle section of my kitchen/family room that was damaged due to a busted pipe in the attic. I initially interviewed 4 contractors and H&M Contractor was #1 by far. The owner, Henry, did not hesitate to tell me how he would go about doing the repair when I asked. He also was honest when I asked if I needed to replace the whole ceiling or just the section that was damaged. I was not at home for 90% of the time but Henry sent pictures of the work as it progressed. He and his team were on time every day and ready to work. Most important is the fact that his price was fair and he did not try to push any additional services that I did not ask for or need. However, I will be hiring him again soon for another project. He promised that he would do an excellent job and he kept his word. I love his work ethic. I give this contractor 5 stars!"

"We're having our deck replaced, and we discovered a decent amount of water damage below our backdoor and one window when the old deck was removed. Geo came out and gave us a estimate, which we thought was fair, and had his team come out to make the repairs. He did everything he said he would, and completed the job much more quickly than we could have hoped."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

While you may have heard people use millwork and carpentry interchangeably, they aren’t the same. Millwork is a type of carpentry, which means that carpentry isn’t always millwork. You can tell millwork apart from other types of carpentry because it’s manufactured at a mill. Notably, casework is also confused with millwork. Casework is different because it refers to boxes like cabinets and bookshelves.

Some states require carpenters to be licensed to perform forms of carpentry, such as framing. The license requires a certain amount of experience and to pass an examination. In states that don’t require carpenters to be licensed, they must be licensed as a contractor if they work independently rather than solely as a subcontractor under a licensed builder. Use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to find out whether a potential carpenter is licensed in your state.

Floor joists provide support and stability to the flooring installed above them, whether it be hardwood, tile, or carpet. They’re essentially horizontal beams that hold up the subfloor and everything that lies on top of it. Floor joists also help evenly distribute weight across their structure so that it’s shared between walls, beams, and your foundation.

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.

Homeowners insurance may cover damaged floor joists, depending on your policy. Insurance typically covers issues from storms, fires, or water damage from burst pipes. However, don't expect your insurance company to cover damage from wear and tear, poor maintenance, or termites.
