"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."

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."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

If you don’t have a coping saw, you can use an angle grinder to cope crown molding, but it takes a little more precision. Place your molding down on your workbench, angle the grinder at a 45-degree angle toward the molding, and back cut the wood. You’ll need to carefully angle your grinder to accommodate the curves in the wood, and aim to remove around 1 inch from the profile of the molding.

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).

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.

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.

General contractors use subcontractors to complete specific parts of a construction project. For example, a general contractor might have construction experience but need a subcontractor to install plumbing lines in a new home.
