"Derek from D Design Woodworking created very cool dining chairs from ten (10) we picked-up in VERY rough condition. He also took-over and SAVED a dining room tables project for us! Take a look at the pics! Highly recommended."

"Note specific project for this review was an over-lay on my bulk-head and bench. Initially I met with Ralph who went through all the projects on my list with me and broke them out both by team and availability of supplies. Ralph worked with the rest of the team to figure out how to work the schedule to meet some tight deadlines I have. The first team I have worked with is Joe and Brandon. Joe has been amazing to work with - he has been very diligent with following up on supply orders and communicating dates back to me, ensuring I am satisfied with the work, and through all communications has been extremely professional and friendly. Brandon performed the carpentry work and went the extra mile with routering all the edges and ensuring a very professional appearance. The team works hard to ensure customers are satisfied and take great pride in their work. I highly recommend All American Craftsmen & Contracting. This is a first class operation!!"

"I can't say enough good things about A-Z Creative Contractors. Alex and his crew were simply the best. Not only did they do a spectacular job, but they really hit on the small details that are unseen when the job is complete. The crew was fast, and getting my disabled wife back into the house was a huge concern for him. Our new kitchen was a really involved job as there was more termite and water-damaged wood than good, and NOTHING in the house was flat, level, or square. Through all that, they transformed everything into something to be very proud of. Excellent price, fast work, and superior quality. What's not to like? Also, Axl, his foreman, gets a shout-out because he is just a great guy."

"Thank you Angi for listing Tracy Evans - Fantastic wood work around 3 inside windows to our new addition. He did exactly what we wanted and did NOT cut any corners or use cheap material. He was on time, cleaned up after his work and his pricing was very fair. We would like to hire him again for our next wood project. It was great working with someone who knew what they were doing and truly cared about their work and the customer. THANK YOU, Tracy for an OUTSTANDING JOB!"

Customers say: True professional

"I found Mr. Phelps very easy to communicate with and explain the work to be performed. His pricing was fair and the work done was very well done. Additionally, my wife who was present when the work was performed since I was out of town was very comfortable with Mr. Phelps and his helper. Both were very professional and did a thorough clean up upon completion. The best thing I can say is my wife is very happy with the completed work. I will definitely call on him again."

"Robert performed my Master Bathroom floor repair/tile replacement approx 145 soft), replaced my back deck boards (approx 740 soft), performed ceiling/wall plaster repairs, and repaired/reset 4 sections of 8 foot fencing. Each and everyone of his crews were professional at all times and cleaned up thoroughly each day leaving the work sites clean prior to calling it a day. Workmanship was excellent.

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Tipping contractors, builders, or general contractors is not customary or expected. Unlike many service professions where tipping is built into the payment structure, construction professionals typically charge a full rate for their services. However, you may choose to tip a worker for exceptional service, such as if they go above and beyond, stay late to meet a deadline, or work on a holiday weekend. Before offering a tip, it's a good idea to ask about the company's policy, as some prohibit their employees from accepting gratuities. If you want to show your appreciation for a job well done without giving a cash tip, consider writing a positive online review or offering to serve as a reference for potential new customers.

It is not recommended to cut or drill into LVL (laminated veneer lumber) beams. As major structural components of a home, their composite structure can be compromised by alterations, which can weaken them and lead to cracking over time. If you must make modifications to an LVL beam, it is crucial to consult a structural engineer or general contractor first. A professional can advise on whether it's safe and provide specifics on the appropriate bit size, depth, and directionality for any necessary drilling.

Board and batten is a type of wainscotting that uses wider boards that are placed vertically, and it has a much more rustic aesthetic than wainscotting. Common wainscotting styles are raised-panel, flat-panel, and beadboard. Wainscotting is more intricate and will typically use more elegant, subtle trims compared to the more farmhouse-inspired boards of board and batten styles.

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.

While the Arts and Crafts movement inspired many architectural elements, the primary styles from the time include Craftsman, Tudor Revivals, bungalows, and Mission homes. You'll see elements of these styles in homes, churches, museums, and schools—particularly Country Day schools from the era.
