Customers say: Quality work

"Curtis Kuhn is a master craftsman. He converted my old family cedar chest into a beautiful heirloom piece for my family. The cedar chest was in really bad shape, and Curtis made it remarkably lovely and like new again. He takes great pride in his work, and his prices are reasonable. I recommend Kuhn Custom Woodworking to anyone who needs any kind of woodwork done."

"We had DJ’s Cabinets build custom built-in cabinets for our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The quality of workmanship and attention to detail are outstanding—everything was beautifully crafted. Communication throughout the entire process was excellent, with clear updates and great follow-up. They really took the time to understand our needs and delivered a customized design that fits our space perfectly. The team was professional, reliable, and a pleasure to work with from start to finish. I would highly recommend DJ’s Cabinets to anyone looking for high-quality custom cabinetry."

"Mark met with me promptly, listening to my needs, looking at what I wanted to store, gave me an estimate and then sent a drawing later that week with formal quote. He was creative and flexible with the design. He also figured out how to deal with unfinished floor and pulling out 1950's built ins as well as access to under the house in another closet. He also gave me the option of having the inside of closets painted the same day as install. Once scheduled the team came in less than two weeks. They were efficient, professional, prepared and cleaned up. The work was done in 1/2 a day including painting walls. The system is clean, white, solid, with adjustable shelves and rods. We added a couple of drawers in two closets. Mark let me know that if we want to make any changes he is happy to provide an additional rod or shelf or pin with just an email. And he knows our needs change. There was follow up the next month too. Working with a local owner and his crew who have been in the business for awhile was great. If you need closet work done I recommend Closet storage systems and owner Mark."

"My husband and I would highly recommend this company. Scott was a good listener concerning what we wanted and gave suggestions to us. He was so easy to work with. He communicated at least weekly to let us know what was happening with our project and was right on target with the timeframe given. When any work was done he was here to supervise. The work done was excellent and of high quality. Scott is very professional, trustworthy and personably. We are so pleased we found this company."

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.

Floor joists provide support and stability to the flooring installed above them, whether it be hardwood, tile, or carpet. They’re essentially horizontal beams that hold up the subfloor and everything that lies on top of it. Floor joists also help evenly distribute weight across their structure so that it’s shared between walls, beams, and your foundation.

While you may have heard people use millwork and carpentry interchangeably, they aren’t the same. Millwork is a type of carpentry, which means that carpentry isn’t always millwork. You can tell millwork apart from other types of carpentry because it’s manufactured at a mill. Notably, casework is also confused with millwork. Casework is different because it refers to boxes like cabinets and bookshelves.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

The boards between floor joists are called bridging or blocking boards. These are the shortest pieces of wood in the flooring system—with beams being the longest and joists sitting somewhere in the middle—and they serve to reinforce the joists and help provide even support to the flooring above. Bridging specifically helps cut down on uneven and creaking floors in your living area.
