"Grady is a perfectionist. He is courteous, always on time, sends a text to let us know when he will arrive and most importantly, he does excellent work to a fault. We will hire Grady for any future work we might need, whether carpentry, tile or just about anything. If you want someone you can trust and has reasonable prices for the work, Grady is your man. We could not have chosen a better person for our project."

"Had a retaining wall done? Eric was great in keeping me informed of all steps up to the very end and was easy to work with. His team did an outstanding job and the wall looks great. It is nice to have a company that shows pride in its work and cares about the customer. I highly recommend them."

"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.."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

You don’t need a cutting board. In fact, cutting is the original purpose of butcher block countertops. That said, wood is porous and can harbor germs. You’ll need to clean your countertop thoroughly after use. Knives can also scratch the surface. This adds to the patina of the wood, but not everyone likes the look—in which case, you may want to use a cutting board.

Many modern homes have soffits, but older ones don’t, and you may be wondering why. Older homes have eaves that extend further beyond the home and help to circulate air, negating the need for a soffit. This style of building has faded away, therefore, modern homes need separate soffit installation. Modern soffits are more efficient than this older style and require less material to construct, saving homeowners money.

Wooden soffits, when properly cared for, can last between 10 and 25 years, depending on the type of wood and the climate you live in. Certain wood types will last longer than others, and you might want to consider the cost of replacing soffits when you break down the total project cost. While an initially higher-priced material might seem counterintuitive, it can make more financial sense if you don’t plan on moving. 

Carpentry is a skilled trade and requires many years of experience to acquire the skills necessary to do the job efficiently and correctly. Because every home requires a carpenter at some stage of the building process, carpenters are typically in high demand. The higher the skill level, the higher the hourly rate the carpenter can charge.
