"Matt and his team are consummate professionals with great eyes for detail and precision. With no drawings or pictures from me, Matt understood what I was asking for, drew up a plan, executed the plan and it turned out exactly as I had envisioned. I think it's rare to find an independent businessman with vision, excellent listening skills and high professional standards. Matt and his workers have all of those. I highly recommend his company for any cabinet work."

"I am THRILLED with my experience with Health Stairworks, Inc. They were immediately responsive to my initial call about our stair railing project, took the time to answer all my questions and had a competitive price. They were able to get my project on their schedule earlier than expected, and the contractor we had (Russ) was simply outstanding. He was so professional, kind, curtious and FAST. He is a master as his craft and it shows. He did everything to perfection, literally. The original timeline was 3-4 days and he was done in less than a day and a half. We are simply blown away at how outstanding our entire experience with Health Stairworks, Inc. has been. The customer service, responsiveness, professionalism, quality of work and price are TOP NOTCH. They are the real deal, book them TODAY!"
"John did an amazing job. He came in the day we called him to measure and recommend crown molding for our old home. A day and a half later, our house was transformed and looked 10 years younger!

"We've worked with many contractors and found that good communication between customer and contractor is the most important component of client satisfaction. We are very satisfied with the kitchen remodel done by Ben and his team from HomeX. Communication was great and, most important, they did what they said they'd do, when he said they'd do it. The pricing was fair and best of all, we got to choose every little detail and customize the materials and layout. The workers were clean and efficient and the work was good quality. Would definitely hire him again."
"Russ was absolutely fantastic to work with. His craftsmanship is superb. And his professionalism stood out from day 1. We has several project delays due to other contractors, but Russ was always dependable and flexible. He even took time to talk directly with the flooring crew to make sure everything aligned perfectly with his work.
As a woodworker myself, I know what ton look for when it comes to precision and detail. Russ's corners were tight, his finishing flawless, and his overall workmanship truly artistic. His eye for design and sense of style helped guide us towards what would actually work for our space, and the results exceeded all expectations. We now have our dream stair case!
If you want someone who takes pride in their work, communicates well with other trades, and treats every project like a piece of art, Russ is the guy you want. I can't recommend him enough"
"Howardâ s craftsmanship is next to none and we are so pleased with all of the work he did on our home. His attention to detail was exquisite and his 40+ years experience shows. Would definitely recommend!"

Their design sense is excellent and they always manage to get things done right on time. I can’t recommend them enough, truly a reliable, talented, and easy-to-work-with crew."
No, you do not usually tip a carpenter for their work. However, if you’ve been very happy with the level of service and quality of work, a 10% to 20% tip would likely be accepted with thanks. If you’re not sure, it can help to discuss the carpenter’s policy or preference for tipping before beginning the project.
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.
Tipping contractors, builders, or general contractors is not customary or expected. Unlike many service professions where tipping is built into the payment structure, construction professionals typically charge a full rate for their services. However, you may choose to tip a worker for exceptional service, such as if they go above and beyond, stay late to meet a deadline, or work on a holiday weekend. Before offering a tip, it's a good idea to ask about the company's policy, as some prohibit their employees from accepting gratuities. If you want to show your appreciation for a job well done without giving a cash tip, consider writing a positive online review or offering to serve as a reference for potential new customers.
