"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!"

"I hired for electrical, masonry, gutters, waterproofing, grouting, painting, spackling, Roofing, plumbing. Every single job was done to 100% perfection. They are meticulous and very clean. They leave and clean up perfectly. That best attribute is the knowledge and thought into planning and completing a project. They carefully assess and even provide before and after photos. They also know when a project is outside the scope of their expertise, they will refer you to a more specialized firm."

"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

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.

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.

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.

While you may have heard people use millwork and carpentry interchangeably, they aren’t the same. Millwork is a type of carpentry, which means that carpentry isn’t always millwork. You can tell millwork apart from other types of carpentry because it’s manufactured at a mill. Notably, casework is also confused with millwork. Casework is different because it refers to boxes like cabinets and bookshelves.

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.
