"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

"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."

"The crew performed very solid work. They conducted themselves professionally throughout the process. There was a delay with the Corian subcontractor that put the project behind almost two weeks which was frustrating. However, once the Corian installer was here, he stayed late to finish his job, so Bill form Thomas Home Center could be back the next day for finishing work. I recently has a issue with the exhaust fan, and they came back out the trouble shoot the problem, so I do like the fact that they stand behind their work and are constantly striving to improve customer satisfaction. Improvements I would like to see, I think the foreman should be available throughout the project and make regular site visits ( I realize the Corian delay messed up their schedule) however making a point to check on every client improves customer relations. Also, I would overestimate the time for the job (if you think 5 days, say 10) so you will look fabulous in the eyes of the customer when you finish early. Better coordination with sub contractors would also be great so the project is always moving forward, however this is a difficult job to accomplish, unless they expand and do it all. Now there is a thought. Overall, I love my bathroom and we will be calling them again for future projects."

"They were reasonable and on time. Worked hard all day long and got the job done quickly. Did a great job and found a problem that 3 other people couldn't find. I would recommend them for anything, they can do almost anything."

Cabinet Making questions, answered by experts

We recommend installing wall cabinets first so the base cabinets aren’t in the way. This order also prevents damage to the base cabinets if you drop tools or materials when installing the upper cabinets.

If your cabinets don’t reach the ceiling, you can extend them higher, adding visual interest, privacy, and storage space to your kitchen. Depending on the height of your ceiling, you may want to extend the structure of the cabinets and install longer doors to make each individual cabinet taller, or you could add additional cabinets above the existing ones. Either option is cheaper and easier than installing entirely new cabinets.

If your walls aren’t plumb, it can make installing frameless cabinets difficult because they require precise measurements so they don’t show imperfections. Any dissymmetry with installation can cause the doors and drawers to not function correctly. Frameless cabinets are also thicker and heavier, making them harder to install by yourself.

Solid wood is the most common material for cabinet bases. It’s a popular choice because it’s durable and will hold up over time. Oak, maple, cherry, hickory, and pine are all types of solid wood that can be used to build cabinet bases. Other options include plywood, medium-density fiberboard, and other types of manufactured lumber, but they need to be sealed properly to avoid swelling, separating, and delamination from moisture.

Any of your garage shelves should be able to hold heavier loads, but it’s best to place heavier items on middle shelves. The only reason for this is to prevent injury—lifting heavy loads from down low requires squatting or bending over, which can lead to back injury, and lifting heavy loads off of high shelves in the garage can be especially dangerous if you drop them.
