"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."

"I recently hired J of all trades to install new flooring in my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the beginning, they were professional, punctual, and incredibly easy to work with. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality flooring work. I’ll definitely be using them again for future projects!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Homeowners insurance may cover damaged floor joists, depending on your policy. Insurance typically covers issues from storms, fires, or water damage from burst pipes. However, don't expect your insurance company to cover damage from wear and tear, poor maintenance, or termites.

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.

The pro you need to hire to build your shed depends on the shed you purchase. A local handyman or general contractor can help build a prefab shed for you. However, if you’re looking for a custom shed, contacting a shed builder near you is the best option. Make sure you get quotes from 3 pros to decide on the best pro for your job. 

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.
