"We were in need of some crown molding for our house. We were delighted to see the great reviews for Kennedy Kraft and decided to contact Seamus for a free consultation. We received a great quote, however Seamus was high in demand, so we had to wait several weeks before Seamus could start the work. Yet the wait was worth it, as Seamus did a superior quality install of the crown molding in our house. It turned out AWESOME! Seamus is as friendly and nice as the day is long. Which are wonderful traits for someone working inside your home for big and long projects. Yet you could not ask for better customer service than Seamus provided to us. We plan to use him for some of our future woodwork projects."

"Luis understood what I needed. He made good suggestions. He moved some big pieces of furniture for me, assembled a pantry and a complicated bed, laid out tarps outside to protect items from rain and wind, and replaced a bathroom faucet. With his experience and skills he can do a variety of jobs. His estimates and prices are very reasonable. Luis is reliable, kind, and thoughtful. I will book him again. I highly recommend Luis."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

There are two ways you can cut trim for doorways: with a miter saw or a table saw. Mitered joints need a 45-degree angle. If you’re unfamiliar with a miter saw, you might want to consider buying extra trim pieces or choosing butted joints instead. One wrong cut, and you’ll need to power up the saw again with a new piece. 

Butted joints—also called shaker style—don’t need a 45-degree angle. Instead, your side pieces attach perpendicularly to the header trim and only require a straight cut.

Carpentry is a skilled trade and requires many years of experience to acquire the skills necessary to do the job efficiently and correctly. Because every home requires a carpenter at some stage of the building process, carpenters are typically in high demand. The higher the skill level, the higher the hourly rate the carpenter can charge.

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.

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.

While you can perform many routine home maintenance jobs yourself, it’s often a good idea to bring pros in for certain tasks. HVAC maintenance, fireplace and chimney inspections, foundation repairs, and roof inspections and repairs should be handled by professionals who know what to look for and can safely perform repairs. You may also find it helpful to hire a local house cleaning service to help with deep cleaning.
