"The contractor is seemingly reliable as well as courteous and his work was clean. I hired him to build a small custom red oak banister in my split level home. While the contractor showed up more than an hour late for this particular job, the job turned out flawlessly. They worked quietly, quickly and cleanly. The wood railing was custom built on site and looks quite attractive and appears to be quite durable."

"Marvin, Noel, and the entire Jeffries team raise the bar on several levels. They not only provide great work but significantly excel at working with you as a fiduciary and trusted partner throughout the overall process. They will not break your trust. Our home is a hundred year old colonial home. The team upgraded our electric, restored century old plaster walls, insulated and restored our basement. They exercised extreme care to keep dust and debris confined and always cleaned up everyday. They don't cut corners and handled town inspectors openly and successfully with ease. They work with your schedule of availability and, on several occasions, we trusted their team to perform work on our home when we weren't there. They treated our home like it was their own. We cannot wait to work with them on our next project and recommend them without any reservations."

"Celtic Construction replaced our front exterior entry door with a new door and hardware. Ryan supervised all of the work and provided options which improved the overall project. Old wood sill was replaced and jambs were extended to address uneven interior walls of our 1965 bi-level. Celtic lives up to their name, fitting new work to existing conditions requires skill and craftsmanship. I highly recommend them and I am a professional engineer with 26 years of experience in construction. Celtic is now scheduled to replace our old wood columns with new fiberglass columns. First they will be shop painting prior to installing to achieve a factory spray finish. Great company to work with, punctual, neat, professional and stayed on budget. Kudos!"

Woodworking FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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. 

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.

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.

Most landscape timbers are 8 feet long, but some are also available in 10-foot and 12-foot lengths. Choose the length that will allow you to install landscape timbers using the least amount of cutting to fit. Shorter timbers will allow you to more easily create angles and shorter plant bed sides.
