Customers say: Quality work

"Ernest and his crew did an excellent job. Although they started a week later than estimated due to the weather, they finished the job within the expected time. We are very happy with the work that they have done. After they were finished, they cleaned up the spots in the yard that they used for temporary storage of some of the materials. The only minor criticism is that the communication could have been a little bit better. We would definitely hire Ernest again.

"Angel and his crew are amazing! They listen, they show up and do quality work. I am usually picky but this firm made me 100% satisfied. I wanted specific things and they gave everything I asked for, no problems. They did a lot for what was charged which was extremely reasonable. I had soil grading, patio installation, retaining wall, fencing, a fire pit and sod put in. The yard is completely overhauled and we will enjoy it for a long time. So grateful and highly recommended."

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.

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.

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.

If you’re just replacing a few broken or damaged joists, you can expect to pay anywhere from $100 to $300 per joist. However, a complete installation for a home or room will take into account the cost of labor, which ranges from $25 to $40 per hour. Floor joist installation for an entire room, for example, can cost between $5,000 and $10,000, depending on the room's size and the materials used.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry.
