"We recently worked with DJ's Custom Cabinets and had an outstanding experience from start to finish. Don was incredibly responsive and took the time to walk us through every step of the process, ensuring we felt confident and informed throughout. The project was completed in a timely manner, and the quality of the work truly speaks for itself. Don’s craftsmanship is exceptional—every detail was handled with care and precision. It’s clear he takes great pride in what he does. We’re thrilled with the final result and wouldn’t hesitate to use DJ's Custom Cabinets again for future projects. Highly recommended!"

"Scott responded immediately, grasped the complexity of the project, and enhanced our plans with some ideas of his own. He was on time, every time, and executed the plans with perfection and precision. I will keep his contact info close at hand for any additional cabinetry or woodworking projects that I may need in the future. Thank you, Scott!"

"If you have a leaning fence or need it stained or a deck built these are the guys to hire. I did for all three of the above and they really know what they are doing. They basically dug under the entire fence, straightened and reconcreted the poles, then reattached the fence. Afterwards they powerwashed and stained the fence. Then they build my new deck. Work with a pro, Jaime is your guy!"

If you're looking for someone who is professional, gets the job done quickly and at a very reasonable price, he is the one to call! Highly recommended!"

He has also helped with a few other things around my home such as staining and fixing my front door. Highly recommend him for any handyman project you might have."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Joists and beams are both part of the flooring system above your basement, with the beams spanning the length of your home and getting support from vertical posts underneath, and joists usually spanning half the width of your home with no support posts underneath. The floor joists provide even support to the subflooring and flooring above, and they distribute that load to the beams. The beams then distribute that load down through the support posts to the foundation.

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.

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.

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.

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.
