Customers say: True professional

"We initially reached out to Chris in connection with a few small projects (fixing a leaky roof, hanging art, installing curtain rods, etc.) that we needed done around our house. Once we met Chris and realized how competent and helpful he is, we decided to hire him not only for those projects, but also to install flooring, paint staircases, and renovate our bathrooms. Chrisâ s work is impeccably done and he is very thoughtful in how he approaches his workâ always asking us our thoughts when appropriate and communicating clearly and with photos. Chris provides a detailed breakdown of his work and what each element will cost, which has been really helpful for us in planning out the work weâ d like Chris to approach first. In renovating our bathroom, Chris even provided some really helpful advice on what materials to choose and gave suggestions on what fixtures (toilet, light fixture, sink, etc.)!would look best for our style of home. Heâ s been a fantastic collaborator at every turn and weâ re looking forward to working with Chris on more home improvement projects in the coming years."

"We couldn’t be happier with our custom dining room table and bench! The craftsmanship is beautiful, and the finished piece fits our dining room perfectly. The quality exceeded our expectations, and you can tell a lot of care and attention to detail went into making it. It has completely transformed the space, and we’ve received so many compliments. We highly recommend Tom to anyone looking for a custom, high-quality piece of furniture!"

"Philipâ s work is top notch. He has a great sense of design and layout. My project was a rather complicated design with different tile thicknesses that needed to be flush when completed. Heâ s a craftsman - itâ s obvious he takes great pride in his work and it shows in the final work product. Highly recommended."

"Jack was professional, his workmanship is outstanding. He is hardworking and kept us informed of what we could expect so there were no surprises. His estimate was fair and less than another contractor we had look at the job. We will be giving him more work as our complex has 23 units. The HOA is very pleased with Greene County Contractors."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

Professionals ensure safe, thorough repairs using quality materials, extending the life of your structure.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

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.

Floor joists provide support and stability to the flooring installed above them, whether it be hardwood, tile, or carpet. They’re essentially horizontal beams that hold up the subfloor and everything that lies on top of it. Floor joists also help evenly distribute weight across their structure so that it’s shared between walls, beams, and your foundation.
