"The beams look beautiful! Very satisfied customer. Highly recommend J&D Woodwork. David and his father did a fantastic job. We have hired them again to do beams in our family room."
"Mr. Santos company provided excellent service in removing old railing and updating with iron railing. I was out of State at the time, but he and his staff kept me informed every step of the way. Very professional, look no further they are cost effected with high quality workmanship."
"Dave did a great job installing bathtub handrails, and showed great workmanship. We will definitely consider him for future projects, and recommend him to others."
"I’ve hired a lot of professionals in my life and am admittedly quite fussy on how things are done, but must say that Todd is just as concerned, if not more so, on creating beautiful and functional landscapes. I would hire him again in a minute! I really am beyond pleased with his work. He doesn’t just bring a crew and leave them, he is involved and working in every step of the project. I really am so pleased with his work and would hire him again in a heartbeat. His fees are more than reasonable as well."
"Replaced hard plank siding on back of garage, rotted framing on the interior and replaced entry door and frame. Job was done in half a day including clean up and at a fair price. The men were polite, fast and very professional. We will be calling them again and recommending them to our friends and neighbors!"
"Randy and Tony are complete professionals. They strive 110% to ensure that their work is seen as high quality and you are totally satisfied with their work. If you looking for a proven professional, custom cabinet maker, look no further than Ace Kustoms!"
"We’re currently remodeling two bathrooms under the same contract. The first bathroom is complete, and the second one just started this week. While their bid wasn’t the lowest we received, it felt fair and, in hindsight, definitely worth it. The project manager was an excellent communicator—knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and never pressured us to accept the offer. We’re extremely pleased with the quality of work on the first bathroom and are confident the second will turn out just as well. A tip for future clients: make sure you have all the necessary materials on hand. We did, and the team completed the bathroom ahead of schedule. The space is narrow, so the photo angles don’t do it justice, but I hope they still give a sense of the high-quality work delivered."

"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."
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.
Some states require carpenters to be licensed to perform forms of carpentry, such as framing. The license requires a certain amount of experience and to pass an examination. In states that don’t require carpenters to be licensed, they must be licensed as a contractor if they work independently rather than solely as a subcontractor under a licensed builder. Use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to find out whether a potential carpenter is licensed in your state.
Wooden soffits, when properly cared for, can last between 10 and 25 years, depending on the type of wood and the climate you live in. Certain wood types will last longer than others, and you might want to consider the cost of replacing soffits when you break down the total project cost. While an initially higher-priced material might seem counterintuitive, it can make more financial sense if you don’t plan on moving.
Many contractors prefer checks because they’re easy to track and have no associated fees. However, many also accept credit cards (though they might add a fee to cover their processing costs).
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.
