Customers say: Quality work

"David and his crew did an awesome job!! I will use them again with some future projects. Totally professional and outstanding service! They rebuilt my deck and added some much needed stairs down to the lower floor. They also fixed a window on the upper deck. David listened to what we wanted and even came up with some better ideas that we were able to incorporate into the design of the deck that made it look even better . He is truly a professional who cares about the quality of his work and making people happy."

"Carlos did the quote for the paneling, chair rail, and painting the first floor of my house. He came for a quote promptly on Monday after my Saturday inquiry. He and his team came in, did the job right, exactly to our specifications. He worked efficiently and politely. He also pivoted mid-job with a reasonable price increase for the added labor of a tweak my wife needed added. House looks great. Very worth the price he quoted for excellent services rendered. We’ll be using him to do our herringbone subway tile backsplash next! Thanks, Carlos!"

They were professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything along the way. I also really appreciated how respectful and courteous they were in my home. The repairs were done efficiently and with great attention to detail. I highly recommend them to anyone needing dependable, skilled carpentry work!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

Before hiring a carpenter, the most important thing is to make sure they are properly qualified and insured for the job. It’s more than reasonable to ask your prospective carpenter for customer references, as well as about their licensing and insurance. You should also consider choosing a carpenter that specializes in your specific project area to ensure high-quality results. 

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.

If you don’t have a power saw with a blade where you can adjust the angle, you could use a miter box and hand saw to make the cuts. The miter box contains wide slots to support the piece of baseboard and other narrow slots to accommodate the blade of the hand saw. However, it’s tough to make non-standard cuts beyond 30 or 45 degrees when using a miter box.

General contractors use subcontractors to complete specific parts of a construction project. For example, a general contractor might have construction experience but need a subcontractor to install plumbing lines in a new home.
