"A 5 Star Service Plus! The quality of workmanship was beyond expectations. Any Homeowner choosing to work with this company will be very pleased. The experienced crew is hard working, punctual, productive, honest, thoughtful, respectful, and with complete competence, A team that that will make your visions come to life. I had an old Redwood Deck that was in bad need of repairs or replaced, I called them on a Friday not expecting a call back until Monday. Surprise, the call back was almost immediately, Robert was getting to leave town but offered to come out that day. That was the second surprise! WOW I thought those are two good starts. I told him to enjoy his trip and made an appointment for the following week. I had several options but decided on a new deck. The most beautiful two-tone Trex Deck was created which can be seen on their website. Rocky Harbor and Spiced Rum trim. Additional projects were also done for us. Two small upper decks, railings, stairs were replaced. Flat top roof over a room addition, painting and all the other little things we can't do anymore that I needed done. Thank you Robert and Tyler Hunter, Matt, Alex, Kayla, Travis, Amber for a job well done. It was our pleasure and enjoyment to work with all of you. You have made two seniors extremely, extremely happy. John and Sharon Vance"

"Quinâ s Woodworking is an exceptional small business. The owner, Quin, is kind and professional. I inquired about getting an old beloved teak bench of mine repaired (it was on its last leg!!) and decided to get it cleaned up too, with some sanding and an oil treatment. I couldnâ t have even imagined how beautiful it would look when it was returned to me. I mean WOWZA! Itâ s such a stunner and I am so grateful to have had Quinâ s expert woodworking craftsman touch to restore and reinforce my favorite sitting spot. He took the whole piece apart and regaled it and tightened everything so itâ s very sturdy. I highly recommend Quinâ s woodworking for any of your woodworking needs! ð ð ð ð ð"

"The kitchen remodel with Ocean Seven Builders went smoother than we thought it would. Ron stayed involved throughout the process and kept us updated on progress. The quality of the cabinets and flooring is excellent, and the installation looks very precise. Overall, it was a solid experience with a good end result!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

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.

Yes, Corian® and other solid surface countertops can be cut with standard woodworking tools like a circular saw or a jigsaw, but using the correct blade is crucial for the best results.

The recommended blade is a tungsten carbide-tipped blade, often called a solid-surface planer or triple chip grind blade. This type of blade is hard enough to cut through the material effectively. For a jigsaw, a fine-tooth down-cutting blade should be used.

It is important to note that a diamond blade is not necessary. Diamond blades are designed for harder materials like natural stone, concrete, or brick, and Corian is not a natural stone.

Using blades designed for wood is not recommended as they can cause microfractures that weaken the countertop's edges. While a tungsten carbide blade provides a much cleaner cut, the resulting edge will still be rough and must be sanded and smoothed to prevent microfractures from developing over time.

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.

Many modern homes have soffits, but older ones don’t, and you may be wondering why. Older homes have eaves that extend further beyond the home and help to circulate air, negating the need for a soffit. This style of building has faded away, therefore, modern homes need separate soffit installation. Modern soffits are more efficient than this older style and require less material to construct, saving homeowners money.
