"I recently had the pleasure of working with Jose Pajares and his team at Home Care and Repair for custom built-in cabinets in our family room, as well as repairs and replacements after fire damage in our kitchen. I cannot speak highly enough of their professionalism and craftsmanship. From the very beginning, Jose and his team impressed us with their punctuality and attention to detail. They arrived on time for each appointment, and their work ethic was exemplary. Throughout the project, they maintained a clean and organized workspace, ensuring minimal disruption to our daily routine. When it comes to their trade, Jose and his team are true artists. The custom built-in cabinets in our family room are a testament to their skill and creativity. They seamlessly integrated the cabinets into the existing design, matching it perfectly to our kitchen aesthetics. The attention to detail was astonishing, and the end result exceeded our expectations. Additionally, the repairs to our kitchen cabinets and the replacement of our granite countertops were executed flawlessly. Jose and his team handled the fire damage with utmost care, restoring our kitchen to its former glory. The new countertops fit seamlessly, and the quality of the workmanship is evident. Overall, I highly recommend Home Care and Repair. Their professionalism, timeliness, and attention to detail set them apart. If you're in need of custom cabinetry or repair work, you won't find a better team to work with. They truly are masters of their craft."

"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!!"

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.

Hiring a woodworker can be expensive, depending on the job, but it’s very often well worth the investment. Woodworkers are able to provide custom pieces of furniture and handmade construction to present a finished product that is exactly to your specifications. If you have a specific vision for a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture or home feature, the cost of hiring a professional woodworker is worthwhile. Plus, you’ll often get a higher quality product than what you could buy in stores for a fraction of the price.

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.

Floor joists provide support and stability to the flooring installed above them, whether it be hardwood, tile, or carpet. They’re essentially horizontal beams that hold up the subfloor and everything that lies on top of it. Floor joists also help evenly distribute weight across their structure so that it’s shared between walls, beams, and your foundation.

General contractors use subcontractors to complete specific parts of a construction project. For example, a general contractor might have construction experience but need a subcontractor to install plumbing lines in a new home.
