"It was the Best! Jacques, the owner of C. & M Cabinets, always gives you the Best results. He is a true craftsman. Jacques, and the men who work for him, are all the Best any homeowner could want. In 10 years Jacques and his men installed a new kitchen, and 3 new bathrooms in our home.

His communication is great, always easy to get hold of. Jacques is always on time too. A rarity for contractors! He will help you design the project too if you wish. Jacques' workers are also punctual and friendly and they are total professionals and experts in their field."

"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!"

"I cannot say enough about Denali National Construction Company and itâ s owners Victor and Mayra! Along with their excellent crew they made my unexpected project of extensive wood repair and whole house painting go smoothly from start to finish! Mayra immediately answered all questions and immediately returned all phone calls. The guys were there 7:30am sharp every single day, worked hard, and left the job spotless each late afternoon. Victor came by even if he was not working on my house that day to check on how everything was going. I had asked Victor to please also take care of any unforeseen issues which he did without hesitation. My house looks beautiful and all because of Victor and his dedicated workers who not only did an excellent job, but really cared about what they were doing! Endless thanks to Denali National Construction Company for their honesty, integrity, and commitment to getting the job done â … right!!!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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.

Spindles on a deck may also be called balusters or pickets. While not as important to the structural support of the deck as the rail posts, they play a critical role in ensuring the deck is safe to use by closing in large gaps in the railing. For this reason, balusters must be no more than 4 inches away from one another.

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.
