"Diego and Juan, two brothers, installed six archways and additional decorative molding throughout our house, and everything turned out beautifully. They are true craftsmen with top-notch skills, exceptional attention to detail, and a commitment to high-quality work. Beyond their technical precision, they have fabulous aesthetic taste—the archways they designed are elegant and harmonize perfectly with our home's architecture. On top of that, they kept the job site clean and organized from start to finish. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for skilled, reliable carpentry work."

"Armondo, Bob, and the rest of the team did an unbelievable job. Any job you need done, they can do it for you. We just moved into our home so we were changing a number of things, big and small. The team removed interior brick and a wood burning stove - they replaced the insulation and dry wall, and also replaced shingles on the roof that needed to be removed during process and prepped just to paint. They closed off a closet in our home and built a stone veneer fireplace from scratch as attached below which we couldn’t be happier with the result. They ran all the electrical, etc. They also hung multiple light fixtures, etc, smaller project things. Overall, my wife and I couldn’t be any happier with the result of Armondo and team’s work. They do the work like it’s their own home and take pride in the finished product. They are easy to work with and can work around your schedule. Plus they are very reasonably priced. 10/10 all around."

"Henry did a fantastic job covering the exterior trim of our house in aluminum. Carpenter bees had really made a mess of it and now it looks brand new. They also replaced the trim around my front door and I like it better than the original woodwork! Henry and his team were professional and cleaned up everything before leaving. I think it was a good value for the money."

"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 questions, answered by experts

Whether or not it’s easier to cut wood when it’s wet versus dry depends largely on the type of tool you use and the wood you’re cutting. For example, a chain saw should still be able to cut through wet wood with relative ease, but it may be more difficult to maneuver due to the wood fibers sticking to the chains of the saw. 

However, you might want to avoid cutting wood entirely when it’s wet if you’re pruning your tree. Sawing a wet tree that you don’t plan on removing can also encourage bacterial and fungal growth and decay.

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.

General contractors use subcontractors to complete specific parts of a construction project. For example, a general contractor might have construction experience but need a subcontractor to install plumbing lines in a new home.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

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.
