"They were outstanding in craftsmanship, timeliness, quality, safety, and inguinuity. Their ability to communicate and keep us advised was the best of any contractor that we have ever seen. Their pricing is good and better than most. The father and son work as a team. They always move with a purpose and worked thru some very cold and bad days when others pull back. We developed so much confidence in them thar we're moving forward on two additional projects as soon as they have an opening next month."

"Danny, didnt mean to give you the bad review, I am sorry. I thought I was writing a review for another company. I know good employees are hard to find and retain. If you remember I was very pleased with your work. I knew you were getting married and gave you $50.00 as an early wedding gift. I hope this will clear up any problems. Hope your marriage is going well and all are in good health. If I can be of help in the future please feel free to contact me. Thanks Larry"
 Another fine job.

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Carpentry is a skilled trade and requires many years of experience to acquire the skills necessary to do the job efficiently and correctly. Because every home requires a carpenter at some stage of the building process, carpenters are typically in high demand. The higher the skill level, the higher the hourly rate the carpenter can charge.

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.

You don’t need a cutting board. In fact, cutting is the original purpose of butcher block countertops. That said, wood is porous and can harbor germs. You’ll need to clean your countertop thoroughly after use. Knives can also scratch the surface. This adds to the patina of the wood, but not everyone likes the look—in which case, you may want to use a cutting board.

A contract should outline the scope of work, timelines, costs, payment schedule, and materials used for clarity and protection.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.
