"STL Woodworking did a stellar job with my special order for a one-of-a-kind river wood table. I described what I had in mind in terms of wood, colors, and size, and the owner (Greg) crafted the most beautiful table made out of a beautiful piece of macacauba wood and paired with a gorgeous epoxy color and a perfect set of black metal table legs. Greg completed the project on schedule and delivered the piece himself. The table is stunning, so I rearranged my furniture to make it a centerpiece in my sitting area, and I use it daily as my desk working from home. It is truly a piece of functional art. I am so glad I went with STL Woodworking for this project."

"I couldn't be happier with the work he did on my deck! He did an absolutely amazing job and went above and beyond to make sure everything was done right. He was professional, dependable, hardworking, and paid attention to every detail. You can tell he truly takes pride in his work, and the finished deck turned out even better than I expected. It looks beautiful, sturdy, and completely refreshed. It's hard to find someone you can trust to do quality work, but I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing deck or porch repairs. I am extremely happy with the results and would absolutely hire him again!"

Customers say: Quality work

"Jeff undertook a big job of removing old screening, rotten framing, replacing damaged floor, adding custom windows and installing intricate poplar shingles. Room had a high peak, so a demanding job. Looks amazing. I changed design midway and Jeff was always pleasant & agreeable to my requests. They always left the place neat and tidy at end of day. Crew were polite and friendly."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

The cost to frame a 2,000-square-foot house can fall anywhere between $14,000 and $32,000. This price can increase or decrease depending on what type of framing you choose, the quality of the materials, the project's complexity, and whether you decide to hire a professional to do the job.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

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.

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.
