"Eric did a fantastic job of designing and building shelving to organize bins. He also built an awesome workbench with several drawers and an open space for stools. Additionally, he put up 3 metal peg boards over the work bench and throughout the garage to hang toolss for different purposes such as short and long tools for gardening"

"Mike did a great job prepping and painting the interior of my living room and kitchen/dining as well as some additional touch ups. He also built, painted and installed new window trim, and a doorway saddle as well. I felt pricing was fair and he was very professional. Would work with him again."

"We couldn’t be happier with our two new bathrooms! The entire renovation, from start to finish, was a top-notch experience. We’ve never had the pleasure of working with a contractor as knowledgeable, reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of our home as Fabian. He is highly skilled and has a great vision. The bathrooms look amazing—highly recommend!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Carpentry is a skilled trade and requires many years of experience to acquire the skills necessary to do the job efficiently and correctly. Because every home requires a carpenter at some stage of the building process, carpenters are typically in high demand. The higher the skill level, the higher the hourly rate the carpenter can charge.

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

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.
