"Josh was professional, easy to work with, very communicative and did an amazing job designing and building custom bookshelves for us. He was able to seamlessly incorporate our existing crown molding to make the full wall bookshelves look as if they had been there for 100 years. We highly recommend JT Custom Woodwork and can't wait to use them again!"

"Me and my wife as a first time homeowner, we did purchase a house upstate. We knew it needed lots of work to remodel to match our perfect home idea. We did meet with a few contractors and MX Remodeling company was one of them. After checking the reviews online we decided to meet. Mark (the owner) came to meet with us at our new place. What was different about him, is that he took the time to listen first about the ideas and the needs me and my wife had in mind, he took our idea and did bring it to another level without increasing our budget much. Very detailed, amazing work, great follow up through the work and after, always contacting, always explaining, always making sure we were super happy with the work that was being performed. After talking to different contractors, we knew he was the one from the beginning. It has been 7 month since we finished the first project, didnâ t want to rush putting this review out there since I wasnâ t sure if the company will just disappear after the job is done like most of them do, I will always use him and his company in the future for any needs, I will always make sure my friends and family use only MX Remodeling. This company and the team that represents MX Remodeling are the best."

"Mrs. and Mr. Construction completed deck maintenance, installed a vanity, caulked the shower area, and renovated the kitchen tile floor. The results were very satisfactory and met professional standards. They provided proposals detailing the required tasks and adjusted the final proposal according to budget constraints. They attended all appointments punctually and worked outside regular hours when necessary. Professional advice was given regarding additional property work. Further tasks such as wood floor renovation, backyard fence installation, and other projects are planned to be assigned to them. They are recommended for similar work. Very courteous client service."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

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.

Joists and beams are both part of the flooring system above your basement, with the beams spanning the length of your home and getting support from vertical posts underneath, and joists usually spanning half the width of your home with no support posts underneath. The floor joists provide even support to the subflooring and flooring above, and they distribute that load to the beams. The beams then distribute that load down through the support posts to the foundation.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

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.
