"We had a first-rate experience with this renovation team. They truly helped us realize the vision of what we imagined, and beautiful results were delivered. A home project of this scale is daunting to say the least and if issues arose they were addressed and resolved. We are absolutely thrilled with how everything turned out and would hire them again."

"Dmitri and his crew came to our project mid stream and just owned it! He was able to take the reins of a partially completed project and finish everything with the highest quality. View the attached photos for the stone fireplace, entry wall and wood work. Top notch in communication and execution. Thank you Dmitri and AZR. We'll be hiring you for our next home improvement project."

"We hired them to redo our laundry room. Everything went smoothly until my oldest had her appendix rupture, they worked with us to make sure that not only did our project get done but that they worked around our schedule as well and waited for me to get home to approve the whole job before taking a check from my mom. We’ve hired them to do more stuff for us, they’re a really great group of people and it’s nice that they’re all family so they understood our situation."

"These guys are true professionals at their trade. After months of looking in the big box stores and contacting several cabinet makers, my wife and I found Ordonez Cabinets and Doors LLC. They explained everything that we needed to know and helped us feel at ease with the process. They were reasonable in price compared to the estimates that we had already received. They built the cabinets and installed them to perfection. We now have the kitchen that we dreamed about for years."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Landscape timbers can last 10 to 20 years in the ground when installed correctly. Pressure-treated timbers will last longer than non-treated ones, as pressure treatment makes the wood more rot-resistant. Wood exposed to high moisture levels or extreme temperature and weather fluctuations may not last as long as wood in drier areas with more consistent weather.

Many people, including professionals in the field, use baluster and spindle interchangeably to describe the vertical components of a railing (or technically, a balustrade). However, there are subtle or distinct differences, depending on who you ask. The most common interpretation is that spindles are thin or delicate versions of balusters.

There are two ways you can cut trim for doorways: with a miter saw or a table saw. Mitered joints need a 45-degree angle. If you’re unfamiliar with a miter saw, you might want to consider buying extra trim pieces or choosing butted joints instead. One wrong cut, and you’ll need to power up the saw again with a new piece. 

Butted joints—also called shaker style—don’t need a 45-degree angle. Instead, your side pieces attach perpendicularly to the header trim and only require a straight cut.

The boards between floor joists are called bridging or blocking boards. These are the shortest pieces of wood in the flooring system—with beams being the longest and joists sitting somewhere in the middle—and they serve to reinforce the joists and help provide even support to the flooring above. Bridging specifically helps cut down on uneven and creaking floors in your living area.

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.
