"If you're in the market for custom woodworking, start here. Derek was excellent to work with. He was very responsive, receptive to our ideas, and willing to make suggestions where our vision wasn't clear. He is extremely detail-oriented and won't 'call it a day' unless and until the work is done correctly and meets his and your standards. The nook is solid and structurally sound, and the design flows perfectly with existing cabinetry. Everyone (professionals, family, friends) who enters our home comments how beautiful the nook is, and we wholeheartedly agree. Custom woodworking is a dying (if not lost) art, and Derek is one of the few remaining contractors in the area who has perfected it."

"Robin and his team did a great job on the exterior of the house. We had quite a few trim boards that needed to be replaced prior to painting. They did a great job painting the trim and the stucco. The house has never looked better. I highly recommend this company."

"We were looking for a wood worker/ reputable carpenter and found Dave's here on Angie's list. I called for an estimate, and Dave the owner promptly came out to estimate a portion of my entrance door that needed some wood replaced, and a new storm door we needed installed.  He was very informative and you could tell he was honest and very personable. He gave me hope for repairing the door frame instead of replacement, I was sold!He set up a time to come out depending on weather, since most of the work was outside. The day he came it was on/ off showers, Dave showed up right on time and smiled right along as he went about his work, he was very respectful of our house.The door was quite the mess, but he restored the bad pieces of wood on the threshold and door jam with cedar wood to insure it would last, and then installed the Larson storm door we had bought at Lowes.
The project turned out fabulous! I will call Dave back for future projects, and recommend to my friends and co-workers.Dave has faith, and honesty something I wish every contractor could have.  My Husband and I are truly blessed to have found Dave's Carpentry.,"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

While carpenters and woodworkers perform similar tasks, their focus differs. A carpenter is typically responsible for the structural woodwork involved in construction, such as framing, installing sheathing, hanging kitchen cabinets, and installing trusses. In contrast, a woodworker handles more intricate and custom projects, like building custom furniture, installing wainscoting, and creating detailed interior trim and moldings. Based on these definitions, many woodworkers can perform the tasks of a carpenter, but it's always best to discuss your specific project with a professional to ensure they have the necessary skills.

Yes, carpenters can fix squeaky floors. They have the expertise to identify the source of the squeak, whether it’s loose floorboards, subfloor issues, or joist problems. These experts also have the right tools and hands-on knowledge to secure the flooring and eliminate the noise, ensuring a long-lasting solution.

Yes, Corian® and other solid surface countertops can be cut with standard woodworking tools like a circular saw or a jigsaw, but using the correct blade is crucial for the best results.

The recommended blade is a tungsten carbide-tipped blade, often called a solid-surface planer or triple chip grind blade. This type of blade is hard enough to cut through the material effectively. For a jigsaw, a fine-tooth down-cutting blade should be used.

It is important to note that a diamond blade is not necessary. Diamond blades are designed for harder materials like natural stone, concrete, or brick, and Corian is not a natural stone.

Using blades designed for wood is not recommended as they can cause microfractures that weaken the countertop's edges. While a tungsten carbide blade provides a much cleaner cut, the resulting edge will still be rough and must be sanded and smoothed to prevent microfractures from developing over time.
