"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."

"The only reason I listed that I would not hire this company is because I did not hire them and do not know how their work product is. That said, the gentleman that I spoke to on the phone was very pleasant and knew what he was talking about."

"J of All Trades is such a befitting name. My most recent hire of J was to repair/replace shower doors. J is responsive and typically available within 2 days of my request. He is punctual, professional and fair! Each project has exceeded my expectations. I has done light plumbing, installed in-wall AC units and repairs. He helped me select the correct supplies and he goes above and beyond to explain, offer suggestions and satisfy the customer. I HIGHLY recommend J, and I look forward to working with him in the future."

"Patrick did a fantastic job! Our house is about 130 years old and whenever we want to do a project here, it needs 10 extra steps. Patrick had the know how and the patience to do the job right. We are already talking about hiring him for additional projects in the new year!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Hiring a woodworker can be expensive, depending on the job, but it’s very often well worth the investment. Woodworkers are able to provide custom pieces of furniture and handmade construction to present a finished product that is exactly to your specifications. If you have a specific vision for a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture or home feature, the cost of hiring a professional woodworker is worthwhile. Plus, you’ll often get a higher quality product than what you could buy in stores for a fraction of the price.

Yes, Corian® and other solid surface countertops can be cut with standard woodworking tools like a circular saw or a jigsaw, but using the correct blade is crucial for the best results.

The recommended blade is a tungsten carbide-tipped blade, often called a solid-surface planer or triple chip grind blade. This type of blade is hard enough to cut through the material effectively. For a jigsaw, a fine-tooth down-cutting blade should be used.

It is important to note that a diamond blade is not necessary. Diamond blades are designed for harder materials like natural stone, concrete, or brick, and Corian is not a natural stone.

Using blades designed for wood is not recommended as they can cause microfractures that weaken the countertop's edges. While a tungsten carbide blade provides a much cleaner cut, the resulting edge will still be rough and must be sanded and smoothed to prevent microfractures from developing over time.
