"Jake and his helpers designed and built a stairway running down a retaining wall and giving access to the canyon below our house. He presented several designs and choices of materials, from which we chose what we wanted. The work took about a week, spread over a two-week period interrupted by a heat wave. Jake also redid parts of the wrought iron fencing along the retaining wall and installed a gate to the stairway. The stairway is so beautiful we almost want to build an entire house around it. Jake is very knowledgeable and is both a gentleman and a scholar. The entire experience was a pleasure! And the price was just a tad less that several other quotes we had, plus a tad more than some others--Jake just seemed like the right guy to do this project, and we're glad we chose him."

"We have used Ryan and Neal (Precision Cabinetry) twice now. the first time was 5 years ago when they did our modern kitchen. They were on a budget and the finished product is gorgeous (we think). We were able to get the details we wanted, like dovetailed birch drawers. Having had such a good experience, we used them again recently for our laundry room. They presented a number of finishes based on our requests, and we finally decided on gloss white. It came out amazing! They are easy to work with, clean and professional!"

"Joel and his Greenlight team did a great job replacing and painting some fascia boards. I had a time sensitive project and they were very responsive. They arrived promptly as scheduled, finished quickly and were very conscientious about cleaning up afterwards. They were also very courteous and pleasant to work with. I would definitely use them for another project in the future."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Wooden soffits, when properly cared for, can last between 10 and 25 years, depending on the type of wood and the climate you live in. Certain wood types will last longer than others, and you might want to consider the cost of replacing soffits when you break down the total project cost. While an initially higher-priced material might seem counterintuitive, it can make more financial sense if you don’t plan on moving. 

Yes, Corian® and other solid surface materials can be cut with standard woodworking tools, such as a circular saw or a jigsaw. However, it is crucial to use the correct type of blade to avoid damaging the material.

For a circular saw, a tungsten carbide-tipped blade is required; a triple chip grind blade is highly recommended. For a jigsaw, you should use a fine-tooth down-cutting blade. Do not use blades designed for cutting wood, as they can cause microfractures that weaken the edges of the countertop. A diamond blade is also unnecessary, as those are designed for harder materials like natural stone, which Corian is not.

After cutting, the edge will be rough. It is essential to sand and smooth the cut edge to prevent microfractures, which can eventually compromise the integrity of the countertop.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

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.

Yes, many repair services include blade sharpening as part of the maintenance package.
