"I looked everywhere to try and find someone that could build a Murphy bed for me (I had the hardware kit) and finally, I found Chris. This has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish! The communication was excellent. We talked over what I wanted and he made it happen. He also gave me some options that allowed me to save some money which I really appreciated when material prices kept going up. He was always considerate of my time as we tried to maneuver through my continually changing work schedules, etc. Honestly, I am so thrilled and it is even better than I imagined!"

"We were honestly stunned by the beauty and precision of the deck Ironwood built for us. Rails sanded with the edges rounded. Simple, straight, long lines. These guys know what they are doing. Nails tucked inside for a smooth view that is restful to the eye. We are flabbergasted and so are our friends. This team went above and beyond to do the job in a very short time without sacrificing an ounce of quality. Steve even gave us money back at the end since we made some adjustments that required less hardware. We cannot recommend Ironwood highly enough. You will not be disappointed!"

"Home projects, no matter the type, will have hiccups. What makes a company special is how they handle those hiccups. John and Matthew handle every issue with integrity and sincerity and willingly coached me through the questions I had throughout my projects, even providing welcomed design ideas. Once the project was complete I brought them back to do a few more things and they made the time for me. I can easily recommend these fine gentleman."

"I couldn't be happier with the professional team that completed my home project. They excavated, poured concrete for the foundation, set the blocks for the mobile home, built 3 decks, hooked up water and sewer, ran new electrical service and installed gutters to include creating a drainage system. No matter how many curves the mobile home company threw on timelines, etc. Jared, Eli and Chris were on top of scheduling and moving their other projects around to accommodate mine. They did excellent, beautiful work and I canâ  t say enough about the quality of work they completed. They were a bit more expensive than the first contractor that I received a bid from but their scope of work was more in depth, including upgraded materials, making it more economical in the long run. I even received multiple comments from the mobile home company at every stage of the project about the crews exceptional work, to include their appreciation on how they always left the job site spotless and respected the work place. I canâ  t recommend United Property Improvement highly enough. They are amazing."

"Excellent experience. We had a need for more covered storage space to help free up some space under our covered porch by having a great spot to store children's toys and ride on cars out of the elements. We explained what we needed and showed the space and quickly Adams mind began working and offering solutions. We are very happy with the outcome and will be working with them again for other projects!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

If you’re just replacing a few broken or damaged joists, you can expect to pay anywhere from $100 to $300 per joist. However, a complete installation for a home or room will take into account the cost of labor, which ranges from $25 to $40 per hour. Floor joist installation for an entire room, for example, can cost between $5,000 and $10,000, depending on the room's size and the materials used.

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.

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.

Most contractors do not charge for meetings, but it can depend on the project, mainly if it includes detailed consultations or project planning. For general estimates, homeowners shouldn't expect to be charged. Always ask up front about meeting fees to avoid surprises and ensure you know what’s included in the process.

If you don’t have a power saw with a blade where you can adjust the angle, you could use a miter box and hand saw to make the cuts. The miter box contains wide slots to support the piece of baseboard and other narrow slots to accommodate the blade of the hand saw. However, it’s tough to make non-standard cuts beyond 30 or 45 degrees when using a miter box.
