"Amazing! Super professional and friendly. They went above and beyond our expectations. They replaced our attic stairs and told us exactly what supplies to get beforehand. They even painted and vacuumed the area after they were finished. We highly recommend them and will definitely be calling them for our future home projects!"

"I've hired this company twice now and they do a good job. First project was replacing some old boards on three sheds we have. They did the project to our specs, know how to do carpentry and finished the work per expectations. The second project was repairing our sliding glass door. The movable door started to be hard to move. Jason took the door out, laid it gently on our sturdy patio table and went to work. Now the door slides great and should last until we move out to the retirement home."

He built a custom mantle and surround exactly to our specifications?actually, better than we had imagined! He also handled our kitchen and bath cabinet installation with incredible precision. Professional, artistic, and detail-oriented. We couldn't be happier with the results, and we highly recommend his work."

Woodworking FAQs, answered by experts

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

While carpenters and woodworkers perform similar tasks, their focus differs. A carpenter is typically responsible for the structural woodwork involved in construction, such as framing, installing sheathing, hanging kitchen cabinets, and installing trusses. In contrast, a woodworker handles more intricate and custom projects, like building custom furniture, installing wainscoting, and creating detailed interior trim and moldings. Based on these definitions, many woodworkers can perform the tasks of a carpenter, but it's always best to discuss your specific project with a professional to ensure they have the necessary skills.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

It is not recommended to cut or drill into LVL (laminated veneer lumber) beams. As major structural components of a home, their composite structure can be compromised by alterations, which can weaken them and lead to cracking over time. If you must make modifications to an LVL beam, it is crucial to consult a structural engineer or general contractor first. A professional can advise on whether it's safe and provide specifics on the appropriate bit size, depth, and directionality for any necessary drilling.

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.
