"Grady did an awesome job! I've dealt with many shady contractors and Grady is nothing like them. He's honest, dependable, fair, and will be upfront with you. I never once felt like he was just trying to "get one over on me" because I'm not knowledgeable about these things. He is clear about telling you the why behind the cost of materials and labor. And he gets it done right the first time. In a world full of shady contractors, he's a breath of fresh air. And he's once of the nicest people you'll ever meet!"

"We can’t believe our good fortune getting connected with Jeff. He is knowledgeable, experienced, and extremely competent with excellent work ethic and results for every possible handyman job. Electrical, woodworking, general construction, absolutely everything done perfectly and beyond reproach. We will hire him for every possible job we need done in the future He helped remodel a Mountain cabin for us. He did all of the jobs preparing our Portland home for sale which sold cash to the first person that came in the door largely due to Jeff’s work. I could have hundreds of pictures, but we’ll just include the dock that he built for us in a mountain lake east of Pendleton, Oregon.."

"The Ditgen crew was great and the work done was amazing! The finished tub and tile work was stunning. The crew showed up on time every day and were polite and respectful. At the end of each day they went out of their way to clean up. They answered every question and seemed so knowledgeable about the work they were doing. I would recommend Ditgen to anyone who is looking for work, no matter the size of the job! You wonâ t be disappointed!"

He also helped us stay within our initial budget for the kitchen remodeling and ensured everything was delivered on time, as agreed. Thank you, Tommy and the Elm Construction team! We can’t wait for our next project together!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, carpenters can fix squeaky floors. They have the expertise to identify the source of the squeak, whether it’s loose floorboards, subfloor issues, or joist problems. These experts also have the right tools and hands-on knowledge to secure the flooring and eliminate the noise, ensuring a long-lasting solution.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

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.

There are two ways you can cut trim for doorways: with a miter saw or a table saw. Mitered joints need a 45-degree angle. If you’re unfamiliar with a miter saw, you might want to consider buying extra trim pieces or choosing butted joints instead. One wrong cut, and you’ll need to power up the saw again with a new piece. 

Butted joints—also called shaker style—don’t need a 45-degree angle. Instead, your side pieces attach perpendicularly to the header trim and only require a straight cut.
