"I have hired them three different times to install finishing woodwork trim in my home. They installed chair rails, crown molding, and added door surrounds for four door openings. Their work is quick, neat, and well priced. I would and will hire them again."

Small jobs welcome

"Mr Hughart was on time, completely prepared, and work with breaks until the project was complete. His bid was far less and more reasonable. His work was professional of the highest quality. I was very pleased with the treated wood used an his explanation of how to maintain the surface. To summarize, the project exceeded my expectations and would recommend Mr Hughart for household projects. I definitely will be using his expertise in future projects. Thank you for allowing me to comment on the high quality workmanship of Mr Hughart. G Tuttle"

"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!"

Customers say: Quality work

"The job was done professionally and proper. They were easy to work with and conscience of satisfying the customer. They explained everything and tried their best to do a great job. A couple trees needed trimmed, but John said the summer heat would hurt them. So, he offered to come in the fall at no extra charge and complete the trimming. I'm glad they put the customer first. I didn't want to lose the shrubs by my porch so I'm glad he suggested to wait till fall. They did a couple extra things for me and were glad to do it even if it wasn't discussed earlier. Customers will like working with them."

"We had an upstairs water leak destroy our downstairs bathroom ceiling. I contacted Benjamin of Christendom Construction and set a time for him to come out and look at the work that needed done. He came out and we scheduled the work and he came on the day he said he would, which doesn’t always happen but he was a man of his word. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the outcome— it looked better than ever and as if we hadn’t had any damage at all!. He is excellent at what he does and I could not recommend Christendom Construction any more highly than I do. You will be very pleased with the integrity and craftsmanship of their work."

Woodworking FAQs, answered by experts

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.

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

It is not recommended to cut or drill into LVL (laminated veneer lumber) beams. As major structural components of a home, their composite structure can be compromised by alterations, which can weaken them and lead to cracking over time. If you must make modifications to an LVL beam, it is crucial to consult a structural engineer or general contractor first. A professional can advise on whether it's safe and provide specifics on the appropriate bit size, depth, and directionality for any necessary drilling.

Homeowners insurance may cover damaged floor joists, depending on your policy. Insurance typically covers issues from storms, fires, or water damage from burst pipes. However, don't expect your insurance company to cover damage from wear and tear, poor maintenance, or termites.

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.
