"Fantastic! Don’s wood-work is incredible. Even more impressive was his professionalism, responsivenes and attention to detail. When we had even the smallest question or input on our project, Don would immediately reply to address the issue. The entire team does amazing work. Draftsman Clayton is remarkably talented with a keen eye for design. Beau, Nick, Clay and Michael did a great job on installation day. Thank you to the entire DJ’s Custom Cabinet team for all your excellent work and for being so easy to do business with. They will be the first company we call when we remodel our next room with more cabinets and shelving."
"When Greg the owner called me we set an appointment and he was there on time. We reviewed the work to be done, Greg took measurements then told me he was going to email his quote which did.
I hired him and we arranged the day and time and again he was on time.
Greg had his son Jacob to help him with the removal and installation of the Attic Ladder.
Greg and Jacob did a wonderful and very professional work. I am going to use them again and recommend them to my friends and neighbors
Great Job!"

While carpenters and woodworkers perform similar tasks, their focus differs. A carpenter is typically responsible for the structural woodwork involved in construction, such as framing, installing sheathing, hanging kitchen cabinets, and installing trusses. In contrast, a woodworker handles more intricate and custom projects, like building custom furniture, installing wainscoting, and creating detailed interior trim and moldings. Based on these definitions, many woodworkers can perform the tasks of a carpenter, but it's always best to discuss your specific project with a professional to ensure they have the necessary skills.
Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.
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.
Hiring a woodworker can be expensive, depending on the job, but it’s very often well worth the investment. Woodworkers are able to provide custom pieces of furniture and handmade construction to present a finished product that is exactly to your specifications. If you have a specific vision for a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture or home feature, the cost of hiring a professional woodworker is worthwhile. Plus, you’ll often get a higher quality product than what you could buy in stores for a fraction of the price.
Before hiring a carpenter, the most important thing is to make sure they are properly qualified and insured for the job. It’s more than reasonable to ask your prospective carpenter for customer references, as well as about their licensing and insurance. You should also consider choosing a carpenter that specializes in your specific project area to ensure high-quality results.
