"We replaced a pocket door with a regular door. Henry was quick to reply, professional, and punctual for the bid. He was able to work us into his schedule quickly and did excellent work for a good price. He matched trim and did careful demo work so there's no mess to clean up. I highly recommend CDO Contractors for for replacement"

"I've hired this company twice now and they do a good job. First project was replacing some old boards on three sheds we have. They did the project to our specs, know how to do carpentry and finished the work per expectations. The second project was repairing our sliding glass door. The movable door started to be hard to move. Jason took the door out, laid it gently on our sturdy patio table and went to work. Now the door slides great and should last until we move out to the retirement home."

"I hired Justin to fix some cabinet problems in my kitchen. One problem was a broken corner in my crown molding. He repaired it so well that it is not noticeable. I consider him a magician with wood. Justin was on time, careful, skillful, and efficient. I would hire him again and would recommend him to all. He was quick to get me in touch with one of his contractors for another job I need done. I'm attaching a before and after. Don't mind the staining. The project is not finished."

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. 

While you can perform many routine home maintenance jobs yourself, it’s often a good idea to bring pros in for certain tasks. HVAC maintenance, fireplace and chimney inspections, foundation repairs, and roof inspections and repairs should be handled by professionals who know what to look for and can safely perform repairs. You may also find it helpful to hire a local house cleaning service to help with deep cleaning.

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.

If you’re just replacing a few broken or damaged joists, you can expect to pay anywhere from $100 to $300 per joist. However, a complete installation for a home or room will take into account the cost of labor, which ranges from $25 to $40 per hour. Floor joist installation for an entire room, for example, can cost between $5,000 and $10,000, depending on the room's size and the materials used.

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.
