"Brian is an excellent carpenter and handyman. He is personable, a good listener and excellent at pointing out solutions we had not considered. Brian took on 3 outdoor carpentry projects. His work is precise and the work quality is impeccable. He was always on time, cleaned up the work areas, and never raised his price. We are so pleased with his work, we offered him a much larger project for 2024. We highly recommend Brian Kopf and look forward to working with him in the future. Five stars!"

"We hired Arite Home Maintenance and Property Services for a wide range of projects in both our home and business, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From flooring installation to plumbing, washer and dryer setup, wall removals, additions, and countless other odd jobs, Arite handled everything with professionalism, skill, and attention to detail. Every task was completed on time and to a high standard. He communicated clearly, offered helpful suggestions, and made the entire process stress-free.

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Many contractors prefer checks because they’re easy to track and have no associated fees. However, many also accept credit cards (though they might add a fee to cover their processing costs).

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 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.

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.

Most landscape timbers are 8 feet long, but some are also available in 10-foot and 12-foot lengths. Choose the length that will allow you to install landscape timbers using the least amount of cutting to fit. Shorter timbers will allow you to more easily create angles and shorter plant bed sides.
