"Josh was professional, easy to work with, very communicative and did an amazing job designing and building custom bookshelves for us. He was able to seamlessly incorporate our existing crown molding to make the full wall bookshelves look as if they had been there for 100 years. We highly recommend JT Custom Woodwork and can't wait to use them again!"

"Excellent from start to finish. Complete renovation of kitchen/dining room, removing a wall, new exterior doors and windows, siding, etc. Extremely happy with the craftmanship of the finished product, but also the communication and process along the way. Dave and Marvin don't rush around frantically to jump to the next project. They work calmly and methodically, taking the time to explain things, answer questions, and give recommendations along the way. Very responsive and kept us informed every step of the way. Everyone who visits is blown away with the transformation."

Woodworking FAQs, answered by experts

A contract should outline the scope of work, timelines, costs, payment schedule, and materials used for clarity and protection.

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.

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

While you may have heard people use millwork and carpentry interchangeably, they aren’t the same. Millwork is a type of carpentry, which means that carpentry isn’t always millwork. You can tell millwork apart from other types of carpentry because it’s manufactured at a mill. Notably, casework is also confused with millwork. Casework is different because it refers to boxes like cabinets and bookshelves.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.
