Customers say: True professional

"Chris and his team were awesome to work with for our fence install and repair. Many of the companies we contacted for quotes were either too busy or charging exorbitant prices. Chris was super efficient and charged us a fair price, we were so happy with how quick the project was from start to finish. The fence itself looks better than we could have hoped, very pleased with the craftsmanship!"

"We were very pleased with Mickey's work from start to finish. We had him pretty much paint our whole first floor with some drywall repair in our downstairs bathroom while installing new doors. Since the project was large, he layed out for us what he would be working on for that day. Mickey was very flexible as we had a handful of requests along the way. My husband and I are already thinking about different projects for the future and know Mickey is who we want to help us with these projects. This was our first "Angie" experience and we were super impressed."

"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."

"AJ can do it all! He is very friendly, professional, shows up on time and you can depend him. He changed my countertops and backsplash, updated doorknobs, did electrical work, plumbing, and custom made some transition strips in my doorways. He knows his stuff, prices fair, and I would recommend him to anyone. Will definitely work with him again in the future."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Yes, many repair services include blade sharpening as part of the maintenance package.

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.

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.
