Customers say: True professional

"We have a large 13 ft long kitchen island that was installed by the original builder of the home. It was very cheaply made with ugly corbels and no appeal. We hired Tier One to replace the corbels and place wainscoting with a wood frame and corner trim. It turned out beautifully. You can not see any seams in any of the woodwork. Joe and Dave do very precise work and are very meticulous . The final product looks like a piece of furniture. It could not have turned out better! We are very pleased with their work."

"Byler Cabinet Restorations did my kitchen, laundry/pantry, and mudroom/entry cabinets, and I highly recommend him to anyone planning a kitchen renovation. He was punctual, professional, and his workmanship was excellent. The renovation presented a few challenges that required creative thinking, and he came up with smart, practical solutions every time. He also helped me repurpose my old cabinets for the garage, which turned out beautifully."

"Chris with Friesen Family Renovations, LLC was very professional and thorough in the work he has completed. He installed a new screen door, replaced my tub stem and faucet, repaired my subfloor in the kitchen and installed brand new LVP flooring to replace old and water damaged flooring. He also mounted a television for me, and did some drywall repairs as well. I would recommend this business to anyone looking for quality and dependable work!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

There are several mistakes you should avoid when using butcher block countertops. Don't place hot pots or pans directly on the surface, as this can crack the wood and cause permanent damage. Avoid leaving wet items sitting on the surface, and wipe up liquids as soon as possible to avoid stains.

A contract should outline the scope of work, timelines, costs, payment schedule, and materials used for clarity and protection.

No, you do not usually tip a carpenter for their work. However, if you’ve been very happy with the level of service and quality of work, a 10% to 20% tip would likely be accepted with thanks. If you’re not sure, it can help to discuss the carpenter’s policy or preference for tipping before beginning the project.

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.
