"The work was done very professionally and they discussed different options. The half-deck and wide staircase with 45-degree angled corners made the look and flow artistic and pleasing to the eye. The posts and stair base were set in concrete and the whole job was completed in 1.5 days. I akready recommended Aleni Construction to my next foor neighbor who is considering a project. Overall I am pleased with the work, the carpentry and the group."

Customers say: True professional

"Simply stated, the best possible carpentry service you can hire. In building a large deck off of the back of my house (project with a countless variables), Pat at Steadfast Carpentry worked to complete a design to my exact wants that will continue to impress everyone who sees it for decades. Pat demonstrated a deep knowledge and care for well-built and beautiful woodworking, and was able to exceed any expectations of build quality, cost, and aesthetics, whilst working safely and within the constraints of our town codes. I cannot overstate how friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and diligent he has been throughout the entire process. I am overjoyed with the final product, and can personally assure anyone looking for a carpenter that you have found the gold standard with Steadfast Carpentry. It is a true rarity to find the affordability, knowledge, and quality at this level."

"This team did great work! Pedro and his crew were on time and great with communication. I hired them to rebuild my basement after I put in waterproofing. International construction was so good that I asked them to stay and fix a bunch of other things in the house. Very fair on pricing, would recommend"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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.
