"I was building a large planter after having our driveway widened. We picked out the blocks to use but after building it decided we didn’t like it so we decided to cover it with a rock veneer. I started on it but made very slow progress and my wife complained about the job I was doing so we decided to hire it out. We hired someone from homeadvisor and he responded quickly and gave us an estimate in line with what I expected so I hired him. He showed up when he said and completed the job in 3 days- less time than I had spent doing a small fraction of the job. He did a wonderful job, and more importantly my wife is very happy with it. He cleaned up afterwards and is a very friendly guy. I will definitely use him again in the future for any projects and would most definitely recommend him without reservations to anyone needing anything done in his scope of work."

"Matt and his team did a fantastic job. Always on time and worked a full day. Matt did everything I wanted and more. He offered opinions when I was undecided on what I wanted. They power washed my driveway when they were done and left everything clean and amazing looking. I highly recommend this company for your landscaping needs."

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.

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.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

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.

No, you do not usually tip a carpenter for their work. However, if you’ve been very happy with the level of service and quality of work, a 10% to 20% tip would likely be accepted with thanks. If you’re not sure, it can help to discuss the carpenter’s policy or preference for tipping before beginning the project.
