One reason is lack of money; the other one is because of its availability and accessibility in magazines, books, videos and the internet. However, even with all those information, there are still many people in the Mississauga and Toronto (GTA) area who find trouble in doing it because this type of carpentry requires the expertise and experience of a professional. It also involves learning different problems and variables such as crooked floors, corrupt framing, crooked walls and the like. Here are some helpful tips for you to be able to achieve an effective interior carpentry services.
Tip #1: Avoid using numbers in measuring
Do not measure the trim using numbers. Instead, hold the trim in place and mark its length before transferring the numbers. It is usually more accurate to mark the length of a board than to use a ruler or tape. A tape may flex or change shape affecting the accuracy of the measurements. This is also an effective tip for other carpentry works like laying shingles, siding and even framing. However, there are also times when the use of tapes is unavoidable. In fact, you may use tape measures for longer pieces because those are already difficult to mark. Just make sure to make your measurements as exact as possible to avoid trouble later.
Tip #2: Use a construction lumber for your pattern
Fasten together the construction lumber to create an outline for your structure and use it as a giant template in doing all your markings.
Tip #3: Always carry a multi-purpose hammer
Whether you are doing interior carpentry services or rough construction, it is always best to carry a multi-purpose hammer. It is a smooth-faced twenty-ounce hammer with a straight claw which you can use in driving out walls for lifting or driving it in for framing and even in doing crude chiseling. Most of all, it has a better shape to pull nails than with a curved claw hammer.
Tip #4: When installing hardwoods especially when nailing
Hardwoods may split especially when you nail down near a knot in the wood. When nailing on hardwoods like maple or oak, it is important that you should stay away from knots to avoid the woods from splitting. However, if in case you split the woods, the best thing that you should do is to fill the splits with wood filler or you can glue the woods and clamp them back together. If possible, you can use these split pieces on areas that are hidden like the back side of a door or the inside of a closet. Note that using hardwoods, almost everything can easily be fixed.
These are the four helpful tips which you can use for an effective interior carpentry. You can use these tips if you want to do your own carpentry and save the money you may spend when hiring a carpenter. However, if you want to achieve the best possible results, then it pays to just hire a professional.
