"We needed a skylight installed in our bathroom, and MMP did an excellent job--we are very happy with it! The team was friendly and worked quickly and efficiently to get it done before it got dark, and the quality of their work was excellent. Matt was very friendly and nice to communicate with as well, and always responded right away. I highly recommend MMP Construction to anyone looking for great quality work and excellent customer service."

"From our very first inquiry phone call, Adam was professional, friendly, and able to clearly explain the work in layman's terms — which we really appreciated. He was punctual for every meeting, extremely respectful of our time, and very communicative throughout the entire process. We had a short window to get the work done, and Adam and his team completed everything quickly, efficiently, and with great attention to detail. The quality of their work and the smoothness of the whole experience truly exceeded our expectations. We're planning more renovations around our home and will absolutely be hiring Adam and his team again. Highly recommend Magic Frog Carpentry & Woodworks."

"I would not hesitate for a second hiring Horsman Builders for any of my house projects or remodel, in fact that is what I will do from now on. I was nervous starting a project having to handle things on my own but Tim made me comfortable with a detailed estimate, answered all my questions, kept me informed about the work, the site was always clean and the result is awesome, my neighbor was commenting on how great it is just checking it out from a window. Fair price, excellent quality and great customer service. A+"

"I highly recommend Boyd Builders. My sunroom and deck were coming away from the house. Shawn jacked up both replaced footings, posts and drain pipes. Budget was clear from the start. He is professional and exceptional in his work. I have already recommended him to friends."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

The boards between floor joists are called bridging or blocking boards. These are the shortest pieces of wood in the flooring system—with beams being the longest and joists sitting somewhere in the middle—and they serve to reinforce the joists and help provide even support to the flooring above. Bridging specifically helps cut down on uneven and creaking floors in your living area.

Many people, including professionals in the field, use baluster and spindle interchangeably to describe the vertical components of a railing (or technically, a balustrade). However, there are subtle or distinct differences, depending on who you ask. The most common interpretation is that spindles are thin or delicate versions of balusters.

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.

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.

There are two ways you can cut trim for doorways: with a miter saw or a table saw. Mitered joints need a 45-degree angle. If you’re unfamiliar with a miter saw, you might want to consider buying extra trim pieces or choosing butted joints instead. One wrong cut, and you’ll need to power up the saw again with a new piece. 

Butted joints—also called shaker style—don’t need a 45-degree angle. Instead, your side pieces attach perpendicularly to the header trim and only require a straight cut.
