Customers say: Quality work

"He built he large two level deck with a roof. Very professional, honest, fair, accurate, and knowledgeable. I would definitely hire him again. He finished within his estimated time of completion, he was 10's of thousands of dollars less than two big deck companies in the northwest, and quality did not suffer by saving that money. You save because he is a one man show, and he CAN really do it all on his own. It may take a week or so longer than these big companies with a crew but you save ten fold because of it."

"Cody built our deck onto our new home. He did an excellent job. I am a stickler when it comes to any work being done and I must say I was impressed. Cody also did other work inside the home! It all came out pretty good! I even considered putting him on retainer! When you find someone who does what they said they'll do, you hang onto them! The work was completed when he said it would be completed. Example: inside the home, a screw broke. Cody left the site went to the hardware store and replaced....that screw! No excuses. We appreciated him and his work! So, if there's any work we need done Cody has the job! Hands down! And he did all the work himself! HIRE HIM. You won't be disappointed! Thank you, Cody"

"Working with KOI Build was easy and stress free. I found Chris, the owner, to be smart, creative, and personable. He came up with options and solutions for my new deck that were aesthetically pleasing and budget friendly . The crew that worked replacing my backyard deck worked beautifully, also contributing suggestions that brought my project to completion, also beautifully.l"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

While you may have heard people use millwork and carpentry interchangeably, they aren’t the same. Millwork is a type of carpentry, which means that carpentry isn’t always millwork. You can tell millwork apart from other types of carpentry because it’s manufactured at a mill. Notably, casework is also confused with millwork. Casework is different because it refers to boxes like cabinets and bookshelves.

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.

Most contractors do not charge for meetings, but it can depend on the project, mainly if it includes detailed consultations or project planning. For general estimates, homeowners shouldn't expect to be charged. Always ask up front about meeting fees to avoid surprises and ensure you know what’s included in the process.

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.

While you can perform many routine home maintenance jobs yourself, it’s often a good idea to bring pros in for certain tasks. HVAC maintenance, fireplace and chimney inspections, foundation repairs, and roof inspections and repairs should be handled by professionals who know what to look for and can safely perform repairs. You may also find it helpful to hire a local house cleaning service to help with deep cleaning.
