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.

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.

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.

Joists and beams are both part of the flooring system above your basement, with the beams spanning the length of your home and getting support from vertical posts underneath, and joists usually spanning half the width of your home with no support posts underneath. The floor joists provide even support to the subflooring and flooring above, and they distribute that load to the beams. The beams then distribute that load down through the support posts to the foundation.

Balusters provide vertical support to make sure your stair railing and/or deck is as sturdy and safe as possible. These spindles help hold up the railing so people walking up or down stairs have something strong to hold onto. They can also act as a unique design element if they’re custom-made to suit a specific style or size requirement.
