"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!"

"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

The boards between floor joists are called bridging or blocking boards. These are the shortest pieces of wood in the flooring system—with beams being the longest and joists sitting somewhere in the middle—and they serve to reinforce the joists and help provide even support to the flooring above. Bridging specifically helps cut down on uneven and creaking floors in your living area.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

While you may have heard people use millwork and carpentry interchangeably, they aren’t the same. Millwork is a type of carpentry, which means that carpentry isn’t always millwork. You can tell millwork apart from other types of carpentry because it’s manufactured at a mill. Notably, casework is also confused with millwork. Casework is different because it refers to boxes like cabinets and bookshelves.

Before hiring a carpenter, the most important thing is to make sure they are properly qualified and insured for the job. It’s more than reasonable to ask your prospective carpenter for customer references, as well as about their licensing and insurance. You should also consider choosing a carpenter that specializes in your specific project area to ensure high-quality results.
