"He did an awesome job. The stairs came out just as I imagined. He made basement stairs to meet code. This was not part of the original project request. He was very friendly and professional. He was on time and cleaned up before leaving for the day. I am very satisfied with his work and would hire him again."

"Nate and Eric were very personable and willing to listen to your ideas. They were punctual, clean and very meticulous with their work. You could tell they really take pride in what they do. We did a master suite renovation during Covid. Even with all the delays and setbacks, they still finished the job when promised. Our bathroom is BEAUTIFUL! We cannot thank you boys enough and look forward to working with you again in the future!!"

"Mr. Blake was extremely professional. I was renovating my summer home and so happy I found him. He knew exact measurements, helped us pick the best cabinets for our size kitchen, and completed the job before the deadline agreed upon. We will certainly hire him again!"

"I had a great experience with Freedom Framing! Matthew was very easy to work with and did a great job for a great price! Matthew is not only a great carpenter he is a very good project manager, ensuring the supporting contractors needed to complete the work arrived on time and performed top quality work. I would strongly recommend him for any construction work needed. I will be calling Matthew for the next project on my list! Excellent job Matthew! Thank you very much!"

Small jobs welcome

"Derek was the best handyman EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He repaired some roof tiles and the wood on the inside of the shed. It had leaked inside and the wood needed to be replaced. He worked until everything was done, even though it was late. He also repaired a piece of the ceiling in my dining room, that I had asked others to repair and they would not do the work. He was polite and easy to talk to as he explained some of the work he was doing. I would recommend him to anyone who needs work done of any kind. Ann Finneral"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Landscape timbers can last 10 to 20 years in the ground when installed correctly. Pressure-treated timbers will last longer than non-treated ones, as pressure treatment makes the wood more rot-resistant. Wood exposed to high moisture levels or extreme temperature and weather fluctuations may not last as long as wood in drier areas with more consistent weather.

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.

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.

While you can perform many routine home maintenance jobs yourself, it’s often a good idea to bring pros in for certain tasks. HVAC maintenance, fireplace and chimney inspections, foundation repairs, and roof inspections and repairs should be handled by professionals who know what to look for and can safely perform repairs. You may also find it helpful to hire a local house cleaning service to help with deep cleaning.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.
