"It went great; Eddie and his crew were on time and very professional. They showed up everyday and worked long hours to get the job done. My house looked better than when I bought it new 4 years ago. I would highly recommend Eddie and his company for your home remodeling job."

"Prayer answered! Our church was ghosted by our original contractor prior to his building a disability ramp for our rental building that he had contracted with us. Thankfully, Angi’s List connected us with NB Woodworks, LLC. Anthony responded quickly to our need. Listening to concerns of both landlord and tenant, he provided helpful logistical suggestions. He managed efficiently all aspects of the project, deciphering difficult to read architectural drawings and working with the city on our behalf to expedite permits and inspections. He kept regular communication with us regarding the project’s progress, issues, and city requirements. Anthony braved freezing weather to finish the ramp for us in a timely fashion, and we are most grateful to him, Thanks to NB Woodworks, our rental now has ADA safe access and our tenant has full use of the building space. If you seek a reliable, expert and efficient experience, definitely consider NB Woodworks for your next project,"

"I found Battlecat in Home Advisor. I am so happy that I hired them to build my deck! The team was so professional and courteous! They spent the time helping me with all of the requirements needed from the township. They were even here in the pouring rain to take measurements so the project would stay on calendar! The building team spent the time going through all of the plans and measurements-making sure that each inch of deck was level and precise! And their price was very reasonable and quite competitive! I would highly recommend Battlecat for any home design or renovation project!! I have every intention of hiring them when Iâ m ready to renovate my bathrooms!! Thank you Battlecat team-I love my new deck!!"

"I would hire HZ Builders(Henry) again! He knows his trade. He was efficient in accessing the project correctly, obtained the appropriate materials, completed the tasks in a very timely manner, communicated with us from initial contact to finish. A first for us, he was the only contractor we knew that came 30 minutes before scheduled time! Thank you for the projects well done."

"Doug Richardson takes pride in his workmanship. He strives for the ultimate end result, and he enjoys his work! He is a skilled carpenter, and performs other 'building/fix-it' tasks equally as well. Doug is kind, honest, and is truly a people person. (although he DOES LOVE DOGS!) 5 Stars seem hardly enough!"

"Overall, they were good. Efficient and polite. The quality of their work is very good. The manner in which they work needs improvement. Clipping chain links and allowing them to fall on wood floors â ¦ placing old fixtures on wood floors. However, the two gentlemen on the job were extremely knowledgeable, and I would most certainly hire them again."

Woodworking FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Carpentry is a skilled trade and requires many years of experience to acquire the skills necessary to do the job efficiently and correctly. Because every home requires a carpenter at some stage of the building process, carpenters are typically in high demand. The higher the skill level, the higher the hourly rate the carpenter can charge.

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.

Many modern homes have soffits, but older ones don’t, and you may be wondering why. Older homes have eaves that extend further beyond the home and help to circulate air, negating the need for a soffit. This style of building has faded away, therefore, modern homes need separate soffit installation. Modern soffits are more efficient than this older style and require less material to construct, saving homeowners money.

It is not recommended to cut or drill into LVL (laminated veneer lumber) beams. As major structural components of a home, their composite structure can be compromised by alterations, which can weaken them and lead to cracking over time. If you must make modifications to an LVL beam, it is crucial to consult a structural engineer or general contractor first. A professional can advise on whether it's safe and provide specifics on the appropriate bit size, depth, and directionality for any necessary drilling.
