"Jose did a wonderful job with our wrought iron fence, stone columns, 3 gates and a trash enclosure. He was also kind enough to return and fix one of the stone columns that got loose. He’s reliable and responsive as well as an easy person to work with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him."

"Studio Shed turned out great! Very pleased with final build. Carpentry, painting and electrical went without any issues. Communication with Patricia and Terry was great throughout the process. Painting is exceptional and overall cost was reasonable with all requirements. I would definitely recommend 5T5 for any construction needs. I'm very pleased. Thank You, 5T5 team!"

"The owner is a master craftsman! He allowed me to tour his woodworking shop and showed me several designs he was working on and pieces he had completed. His specialty is hidden compartments and security in his furniture. In order to standout, he consults with customers on what the goals are for each piece of furniture he makes. His custom designs are innovative, high-quality, and supremely functional. The cabinets, bookshelves, and tables were made with the best materials. He is honest, hardworking, and detail-oriented. You won't find a better craftsman that this gentleman."

"Amazing service! Absolutely gorgeous deck was installed with flagstone floors. The cedar posts and roofed awning is perfect and so shady. When we asked for a gable last minute, their carpenter said no problem and woodworking was exquisite! They even took our giant dead oak tree for an amazing price and were very professional."

"Contractor first powerwashed our sadly neglected deck, which brightened the wood considerably.  I had to provide the waterproofing sealant, and the kind I got had to be applied on dry wood, so he came back the next week to finish the job.  I feel much better about spending time on my deck now. I would call them again.

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

It is common for a contractor to ask for a down payment before starting a project, especially for jobs that require purchasing materials and equipment or hiring a crew. The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost. While a request for up to 50% is not unusual, a contractor should not ask for more than that, and you should never pay for a project in full before the work has begun. To protect yourself, always discuss payment terms before starting and have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.

Landscape timbers can last 10 to 20 years in the ground when installed correctly. Pressure-treated timbers will last longer than non-treated ones, as pressure treatment makes the wood more rot-resistant. Wood exposed to high moisture levels or extreme temperature and weather fluctuations may not last as long as wood in drier areas with more consistent weather.

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.

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.

Yes, many repair services include blade sharpening as part of the maintenance package.
