"I categorized this under Carpenters because I could only pick one category. The truth is Mo fixed my leaky roof (sealed around sophets), Fixed sheetrock, framed, did some electrical, flooring. moldings, and painted an entire room. He also did some custom wood working rebuilding some steps to the second floor of my house. He also repaired missing flooring from a 100 year old hardwood floor. He went above and beyond. Had a great attention to detail. Was on time, meticulous, polite, organized and FAST. Cant say enough good things about Mo. I will certainly have him back soon to put in some doors and who knows what else!"

"Sviat couldn't have provided a better experience from beginning to end creating a custom piece for my tiny apt: 1. Quality of workmanship was suburb, 2. Communication was SO EASY via text/pics/calls as needed all through the process. Sviat is very responsive, and working together along the project was very efficient & convenient - ideal for busy ppl, 3. Delivery/payment was a breeze. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for high-quality woodworking."

"Olsen did a fabulous job! The deck looks great. He went above and beyond by cutting some branches off a tree that was leaving debris on my deck. He also fixed my electrical boxes on the back deck. His workers were polite. I would recommend Olsen and his price was very fair."

Woodworking FAQs, answered by experts

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

There are several mistakes you should avoid when using butcher block countertops. Don't place hot pots or pans directly on the surface, as this can crack the wood and cause permanent damage. Avoid leaving wet items sitting on the surface, and wipe up liquids as soon as possible to avoid stains.

It is common for a contractor to ask for a down payment before starting a project, especially for jobs that require purchasing materials and equipment or hiring a crew. The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost. While a request for up to 50% is not unusual, a contractor should not ask for more than that, and you should never pay for a project in full before the work has begun. To protect yourself, always discuss payment terms before starting and have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

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.
