"Tom came out and quoted the project, and promptly came back in less than a week to complete the job. His knowledge about construction and standards were just what I needed. My hot water heater door was an exterior door that required venting, and Tom made a return trip to install the grate, and wouldn’t charge me, even though I felt it wasn’t fair to Tom. I will use Tom for any future projects."

"The remodel of our 3 bathrooms came out great! Mike Duran did a tremendous job throughout the entire process. Mike was extremely professional, knowledgeable and most importantly, seemed to truly care about insuring that we were comfortable and well taken care of. Mike was either at our home or communicating with us by phone or text on a daily basis which was very comforting. There was never a time where we weren't informed of the process and the next steps. The entire remodels were completed on a timely manner with no surprises. He also insured that everyone on his staff treated our home with respect. Mike is a very respectful and honest person and I would not hesitate in hiring him for future projects."

"Project completed very satisfactorily on a timely manner. Sylvain and his assistance Robin are highly professional and delightful workers. They demo and replaced old patio deck steps front and back and added a 3rd room to my Mobil home on a golf course. After the job is done, they left the work place very clean. I strongly recommend them to anyone needing expert carpenters providing good estimates and excellent workmanship. I gave them 5 stars for a great job well done!!! Adey"

"Joel and his crew at Green Light Building replaced termite damaged wood at my house. Joel answered my request for a free quote that day and with 2 days, came to my house and I had a detailed quote for labor and materials. He then kept in touch to let me know which days and how long the job would take. It was beautifully done, on time as per quote. Friendly and efficient workers!!"

"I have hired Luke to work on a 1986 house I recently bought. I needed a handyman that could deal with the issues and complications that come with an older home. He has performed well and professionally.i can see working with him for years to come. He has done so much work that was not listed he made built in undercounter storage cubby with a framed door. He has hung doors. Put up andresized fire doors. He built walls and installed lights. He moved anf onstalled new light switches and outlets. He is installing a new shower in 3 bathrooms and hew exhaust fans He has installed vanity sink in the bathroom and this is just a few of the things. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a honest local small business owner contractor. Someone trustworthy and a person who works for himself and not a big corporation is important to me."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Whether or not it’s easier to cut wood when it’s wet versus dry depends largely on the type of tool you use and the wood you’re cutting. For example, a chain saw should still be able to cut through wet wood with relative ease, but it may be more difficult to maneuver due to the wood fibers sticking to the chains of the saw. 

However, you might want to avoid cutting wood entirely when it’s wet if you’re pruning your tree. Sawing a wet tree that you don’t plan on removing can also encourage bacterial and fungal growth and decay.

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. 

Board and batten is a type of wainscotting that uses wider boards that are placed vertically, and it has a much more rustic aesthetic than wainscotting. Common wainscotting styles are raised-panel, flat-panel, and beadboard. Wainscotting is more intricate and will typically use more elegant, subtle trims compared to the more farmhouse-inspired boards of board and batten styles.

There are several mistakes you should avoid when using butcher block countertops. Don't place hot pots or pans directly on the surface, as this can crack the wood and cause permanent damage. Avoid leaving wet items sitting on the surface, and wipe up liquids as soon as possible to avoid stains.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.
