"We had a major leaking from a main water pipe behind the kitchen cabinets. Jeff had to remove the cabinets, broke the dry wall and replace the rusted water pipe. He did a pretty good job."
"They assembled my new sofa and boxed up my other to be shipped. Then they assembled 4 tables and a storage bench. Not leaving until everything was done even though they had to stay late to complete everything."

"Excellent work. We purchased natural cherry cabinets in shaker style, with the panels made of solid wood rather than veneer. That is more difficult work, as each panel has to be constructed from several planks. Moreover, the clear finish would leave any flaws more visible. Simply put, the doors are beautiful--flawless in both construction and finish. They are similar in quality to custom cherry furniture we own."
"For my wife and I, every aspect of working with Jonathan at Timberwood was totally excellent; from our first meeting, to his design, to the final installation. He first found out what we wanted, and then created a design that fulfilled our expectations -- but -- he went far beyond that by adding his own input and creative viewpoints. The end result was more beautiful and satisfying than we could have imagined. He welcomed (no, he asked for) our questions, gave well thought out and sensible answers, and was very patient in interacting with us. We feel there are two necessary and important components when dealing with designers and/or contractors: first is the quality of their work, and their ability to deliver the promised outcome; the second is the personal connection we develop with them as the project moves forward. We give Jonathan high marks in both those components. We would work with him again in a heartbeat."
You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.
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.
Spindles on a deck may also be called balusters or pickets. While not as important to the structural support of the deck as the rail posts, they play a critical role in ensuring the deck is safe to use by closing in large gaps in the railing. For this reason, balusters must be no more than 4 inches away from one another.
Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.
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.
