"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!"

"We hired Mr. David Pena from A Cut Above Woodworks to fix a couple of shelves that had fallen down in my wife’s wardrobe closet, and he did a phenomenal job. Mr. Pena was highly professional, meticulous, and efficient. He even went above and beyond by adding additional shelving, which my wife absolutely loves—you can never have too much storage space! By the time he was finished, it felt like we had a completely customized closet. We highly recommend him and truly appreciate his exceptional craftsmanship, expertise, and professionalism."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

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.

General contractors use subcontractors to complete specific parts of a construction project. For example, a general contractor might have construction experience but need a subcontractor to install plumbing lines in a new home.

While the Arts and Crafts movement inspired many architectural elements, the primary styles from the time include Craftsman, Tudor Revivals, bungalows, and Mission homes. You'll see elements of these styles in homes, churches, museums, and schools—particularly Country Day schools from the era.

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.
