"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. From flooring, to plumbing, electrical, tile & counter tops and breathtaking cabinets (what Jacques makes & installs) and painting. Jacques enthusiasm and expertise is a joy to work with! 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."

"Mr. Remo was wonderful to work with the job each time they arrived on time and performed excellent work. Absolutely professional and work hard to get the job done in a timely manner. I highly recommend for your construction needs around woodworking on outside of the house such as patio decks and more. Provided good detailed discussion of how,. what and where certain repairs needed to ensure long term fix/replace etc. Very old school knowledgeable."

"I needed an experienced woodworker because two interior doors would no longer close. Most contractors won't bother with a small project, but Tom contacted me and came to take a look. He told me what needed to be done and then returned and made the repairs less than a week later. I liked that he listened to my concerns and discussed the best options with me. Watching him work, he is obviously very experienced and talented. He is fair, honest and very friendly. PLUS, he is very affordable. I will most definitely hire him again. I highly recommend Tom and T N T Construction."

"We had ACE Construction out to completely remodel our bathrooms in our 1909 farmhouse. We tore down walls and moved everything around because we didn’t like how the bathrooms were originally set up. They helped design the layout and helped pick materials. It was an amazing experience. All the workers showed up when they said they would and were very respectful. I would definitely use ACE on our next project and recommend to everyone!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

A contract should outline the scope of work, timelines, costs, payment schedule, and materials used for clarity and protection.

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.

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.

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.

Labor plays a significant role in the installation of butcher block countertops. Depending on who you hire, your location, the customization level of the project, and whether the wood is already finished, you may pay a professional between $10 and $150 per square foot to install a butcher block countertop. On average, expect the per-hour price to run between $60 and $100.
