"The owner of the firm pays attention to his craftspeople, and the job they are doing. He underpromises and over delivers. He showed up exactly when he said he would, got the job done quickly and on our mutually agreed schedule. The quality of the work was top notch, the walls are straight, plumb and smooth. NICE WORK!!"

"We hired I Construction to replace 26 year old decks (4). Danny (owner) and his crew did a wonderful job. His crew was on time each day and cleaned up at the end of each day. Danny came to check on the job every day and sometimes more than once. He also "mucked in" when necessary. Definitely an ethical company to work with."

"Rigo is an excellent all-around contractor; the first job I hired him was to replace or rebuild a 25-year-old redwood deck. After evaluating the project, he suggested saving the lumber and fixing the joists instead of scrapping the existing materials. His work was excellent and he communicates very well as the project goes along, checking in daily with updates and pinging me as problems pop up, there is always something with older homes. I have since hired him to build a 60-foot fence, do plumbing in my house, and help me solve an irrigation issue. All of these projects went smoothly and cost-effectively. I highly recommend him and plan on using him for my next project!"

"I was trying to pick out plumbing supplies for a difficult sink install. The customer service "expert" couldn't understand the unusual needs for my project and kept saying I could not do what was required. I finally asked him what he would do if he was on a desert island with no "parts kits" to choose from and had to fix the problem. His eyes glazed over... He was lost. Standing nearby was a fellow who offered his thoughts. He LISTENED to the conundrum I was facing and using creative problem solving he recommended a solution. He communicated his thoughts process clearly and his solution worked perfectly. I was impressed. That fellow was Diego. Diego is kind, helpful, thoughtful and easygoing. His kindness was refreshing and I liked his out of the box thinking. He is licensed, insured and reasonably priced. After having a terrible experience with another general contractor recently I was delighted to make his acquaintance and will be calling him shortly to do several projects."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

While carpenters and woodworkers perform similar tasks, their focus differs. A carpenter is typically responsible for the structural woodwork involved in construction, such as framing, installing sheathing, hanging kitchen cabinets, and installing trusses. In contrast, a woodworker handles more intricate and custom projects, like building custom furniture, installing wainscoting, and creating detailed interior trim and moldings. Based on these definitions, many woodworkers can perform the tasks of a carpenter, but it's always best to discuss your specific project with a professional to ensure they have the necessary skills.

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.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.
