"I recently hired Marvin Williamson, Creative Remodeling, to remodel the guest bath & install custom woodwork/fireplace in the main living space. Marvin is highly skilled & a pleasure to work with. He has intuitive solutions to problems & listened carefully to my design plans. The custom electric fireplace he built is EXACTLY what I envisioned. He stayed on budget & did not rush or cut corners. The total transformation of the spaces is amazing! Whether it’s custom woodwork, tile or drywall/paint, Marvin has the skills & the work ethic to produce beautiful results. I highly recommend Marvin!"

"Mr Camejo did a number of jobs for me on a small guest house: cabinet install and countertop installation, installation of sink, toilet and wall unit ac. The job was completed quickly and professionally and he fit me in to accommodate my schedule. Pricing was very fair and the crew cleaned up the worksite as they worked and it was completely clean at end of job. I would highly recommend."

"I couldnâ t be more pleased. I am â finallyâ enjoying my patio for the first time! Kent enlarged the patio with pavers and did an excellent job. Attention to detail is most appreciated since pride of workmanship is not often seen anymore. I would highly recommend Kent Charpentier."

"The team of Charles and Monroe who did the framing and the deck were pure professionals. Over 40 years of foundation work and it showed. They worked everyday through the Texas summer heat. The deck is beautiful and looks better than originally designed. As the project started they say small flaws in my vision and gave me their opinions and it payed off big time. Seriously give John and his team a big consideration when choosing a deck."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Yes, Corian® and other solid surface materials can be cut with standard woodworking tools, such as a circular saw or a jigsaw. However, it is crucial to use the correct type of blade to avoid damaging the material.

For a circular saw, a tungsten carbide-tipped blade is required; a triple chip grind blade is highly recommended. For a jigsaw, you should use a fine-tooth down-cutting blade. Do not use blades designed for cutting wood, as they can cause microfractures that weaken the edges of the countertop. A diamond blade is also unnecessary, as those are designed for harder materials like natural stone, which Corian is not.

After cutting, the edge will be rough. It is essential to sand and smooth the cut edge to prevent microfractures, which can eventually compromise the integrity of the countertop.

If you don’t have a power saw with a blade where you can adjust the angle, you could use a miter box and hand saw to make the cuts. The miter box contains wide slots to support the piece of baseboard and other narrow slots to accommodate the blade of the hand saw. However, it’s tough to make non-standard cuts beyond 30 or 45 degrees when using a miter box.
