"It was perfect! They had to replace butcher block countertops that had been incorrectly installed by another company. They came out and gave an estimate and had samples of wood to choose from and gave options for the installation on the edges, etc. They show up when they are scheduled to for all appointments and they explain what they are going to do and how to care for the counters after installation. Exceptional people to work with!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!"

"I hired PB Painting to rebuild a 16 x 20 freestanding deck that was damaged by Helene. They have done a great job and have been very accommodating as I wait for materials to come in. I'm very pleased I found them via Angi."

"It was for cleaning my apartment. It was for a one time, regular, light, over all cleaning. They did a GREAT JOB!!! They worked steady, hard efficiently and with great care for my personal belongings. The Ladies doing the work were very professional, polite, friendly & SO VERY NICE!! I am very happy! I am so satisfied I would like for them to come again and DEFINITELY recommend them to others. It only took them a little over 2 hours. They were extremely thorough and very reasonable."

"I hired the Tailored Closet for three projects in my house: a small pantry closet, my master closet, and a large pantry cabinet in my kitchen. The work was outstanding! They were so easy to work with getting the designs made, the products were exactly what I was asking for, and install was quick and professional. I am very pleased with the way these turned out! The options they have available for any type of closet or cabinetry is incredible!! You could literally do anything you could imagine. I will definitely be using them for future jobs and recommend them to everyone!"

Customers say: Quick response

"Although this company was new to Home Advisor I was very pleased with the responsiveness of the owner Michael Sheppard and hired him immediately upon meeting him. The project was to expand our deck to wrap around the side of the house and around a hot tub. He built a platform for the hot tub and arranged for an electrician to wire it up so that it was ready for immediate use. As we do not live at the house fulltime, we were kept informed with pictures and messages and the end result exceeded all our expectations. In a time where it is so difficult to get anybody to respond to inquiries, let alone actually do any work, we could not be happier with our choice to use this company. We have several more projects for the house and his company seems to do it all. I cannot recommend him highly enough."

"Highly recommend Brayton and his team. Attention to detail is second to none. I normally do not hire anyone and do projects myself but decided to give these polite young gentleman a shot. Boy am I happy I did. Deck came out amazing. Neighbors are jealous. Extremely impressive and they left the job site cleaner than when they arrived. Already have several project in mind for them to tackle once their schedule frees up a bit."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

Rustic and modern farmhouse styles are currently the most popular. These include rustic and antique furniture, muted colors, clean lines, eclectic decor, and natural materials. Some other popular farmhouse styles include the following:

  • Coastal farmhouse: Creates a lighter, airier feel with soft colors and blue palettes, along with gold

  • Colonial farmhouse: Focuses on real antique furniture and decor

  • French farmhouse: Leans on French country architecture and design by including marble and lighter-colored metals, like zinc

  • Industrial farmhouse: Includes thick, chunky furniture and dark metals

  • Scandinavian farmhouse: Usually includes lighter wood colors and more refined furniture

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.

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.

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.
