"Jacques and C & M Kitchen Cabinets did a fantastic job with my kitchen remodel. Jacques kept me updated each step of the way, his design was just what I wanted, his crew were respectful of my home and were professional. I wouldn't change a thing and am going to use Jacques for my 2 bathroom remodels without hesitation. I have recommended Jacques to friends who have also used C & M Kitchen Cabinets."

Customers say: Quick response

"The owner of Froland Carpentry runs a first class professional company. The crew shows up on time and are pleasant and respectful. They protected surrounding work area surfaces including floor runners on the stone floors. We had cabinetry work, water damage repaired from the exterior of our house including water damage on the interior walls and baseboards. We couldn't be happier with the impeccable finish work. They are real pros. We will definitely hire them for our next project which will be staining the driveways and decks around our swimming pool. We completely trust their quality of work, clarity in communication, bids and follow through. Great find!"

"Joseph Carroll and his team performed superior wood repair, window installation and complete exterior painting of my residence. All the wood used was of matching quality to existing materials. Joseph made multiple visits to the work site to assure crew remained on schedule and they cleaned up the work area thoroughly each day, which was most appreciated. I would highly recommend Joseph for his excellent work, courteous demeanor and timely execution of my extensive wood restoration/painting project."

"We enjoyed working with Denali National Construction, including Victor and Mayra (the owners), and their great team! Victor is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. This company was referred to us by Angi to replace three fascia boards (required removing and reinstalling roof tiles and waterproof paper in order to replace two of the fascia boards) and a wooden side-gate. Victor was able to meet me, provided me his written quote, and scheduled to start our project within a very short time. Victor and his team showed up on time and completed the project within the scheduled timeframe with an excellent quality workmanship. We would definitely use this company again for our future projects. We were very pleased and highly recommend this company!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Most landscape timbers are 8 feet long, but some are also available in 10-foot and 12-foot lengths. Choose the length that will allow you to install landscape timbers using the least amount of cutting to fit. Shorter timbers will allow you to more easily create angles and shorter plant bed sides.

While carpenters and woodworkers perform similar tasks, their focus differs. A carpenter is typically responsible for the structural woodwork involved in construction, such as framing, installing sheathing, hanging kitchen cabinets, and installing trusses. In contrast, a woodworker handles more intricate and custom projects, like building custom furniture, installing wainscoting, and creating detailed interior trim and moldings. Based on these definitions, many woodworkers can perform the tasks of a carpenter, but it's always best to discuss your specific project with a professional to ensure they have the necessary skills.
