"Randy Beiermann totally remodeled my kitchen and completed minor home repairs. Randy’s craftsmanship as a carpenter was excellent. He was flexible when I continued to change the plans. He was trustworthy as he had my keys. He was efficient and dependable. Costs very reasonable, especially when compared to other “contractors.” I would highly recommend Mr. Beiermann and will definitely keep his number for future projects."

"Juan Medina and his team did an excellent job for us. We had an extended roof overhang above our back patio which was installed by the previous owner some 40+ years ago. The supporting structure was beginning to lean and sag. Juan designed a beautiful pergola to replace it. He started the work on schedule and was there every business day plus some weekend days until it was completed. There were a couple of bad weather days, but Juan always called or texted to let us know if his team was not going to be there or if they were going to be delayed. He checked in periodically to make sure we were happy with the progress, and was very gracious when we changed our minds about a pretty major design element, which caused a day of re-work for him and his team. This caused the project to go over budget, but not significantly and he made sure we were aware and approved it before making the changes. We were very impressed with Juan and recommend him highly to anyone!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Most contractors do not charge for meetings, but it can depend on the project, mainly if it includes detailed consultations or project planning. For general estimates, homeowners shouldn't expect to be charged. Always ask up front about meeting fees to avoid surprises and ensure you know what’s included in the process.

Board and batten is a type of wainscotting that uses wider boards that are placed vertically, and it has a much more rustic aesthetic than wainscotting. Common wainscotting styles are raised-panel, flat-panel, and beadboard. Wainscotting is more intricate and will typically use more elegant, subtle trims compared to the more farmhouse-inspired boards of board and batten styles.

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, you do not usually tip a carpenter for their work. However, if you’ve been very happy with the level of service and quality of work, a 10% to 20% tip would likely be accepted with thanks. If you’re not sure, it can help to discuss the carpenter’s policy or preference for tipping before beginning the project.

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.
