"Joe Woods and Just Right Carpentry did a superb job building our new deck. They were responsive, kind, and easy to work with. In addition to building a beautiful deck at a reasonable price, they left everything neat and clean after they left. They went above and beyond and I will certainly use their services again."

"Bill Mason of Mason Carpentry, tore down our wooden deck and replaced it with Trek flooring. He and his crew were extremely neat, polite and very hard working men and finished the job in one day at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend him and will definitely hire him again when needed. Artie- smithtown"

"Led contacted me right away and came to my house the next day to review the work. My 25 year old mahogany deck had seen better days, and was in need of refreshing. Led and his man hammered every nail flush, sanded the entire 500 sq/ft deck and then power washed it to remove all of the "dust" from the sanding. They did a great job, worked hard and cleaned up perfectly afterwards. I would hire him again for any deck, roof, siding or any general carpentry work."

"Tom was really great to work with. I requested an estimate for repairs to the vinyl siding on my house. He responded to my request for an estimate immediately and was even willing to inspect the damage and give an estimate on Christmas Eve. His price was more than reasonable and he came back and completed the repair within a few days. His work was beautiful and he meticulously cleaned up my yard once he was finished. I highly recommend Skyline and will absolutely use them again."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

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. 

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.
