"We hired McCormick Home Builders to remodel our living room, and we are beyond pleased with the result. The team was professional, worked efficiently, and Aris design ideas made a huge difference. The room feels so much brighter and more spacious. This was the best decision we made for our home, and we were already planning our next remodel with them."

"This is the second time I’ve booked with Zabi & he has been amazing. The reason we booked him this time was because of his great first impression last time! He will always be who we call for any home needs. He has now built us a dresser, mounted a tv and built and mounted a wall shelf to go under a tv. The whole time he’s here working he is super friendly and helpful & very attentive to detail as well as making sure you are involved in the process to ensure you like the final product. Highly recommend booking him! He also loves animals, even has his own dog who is super cute that he has in his truck!"

"I was missing one of the original sliding bedroom closet doors from my house built in 1952 and the tracking for the doors was irreparably damaged,/ One of the doors was damaged on the back side facing the clothes. AC Wood Furniture built two new doors that matched the old one and painted them per my insruction. They put in neew and improved tracks and installed them. All for a very reasonable price."

Hello...\nMy friends call me Chuy. I've been in construction for over 25 years. More on the electrical, low voltage side. Fully remodeled my home myself. From flooring, fixtures, sinks, toilets, garbage disposal. Pretty much anything one person can do I've done it. I can mount any TV or put together any furniture you buy. Only doing this to get my kids thru college. Hope to hear from you.\nThank you

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Yes, Corian® and other solid surface materials can be cut with standard woodworking tools, such as a circular saw or a jigsaw. However, it is crucial to use the correct type of blade to avoid damaging the material.

For a circular saw, a tungsten carbide-tipped blade is required; a triple chip grind blade is highly recommended. For a jigsaw, you should use a fine-tooth down-cutting blade. Do not use blades designed for cutting wood, as they can cause microfractures that weaken the edges of the countertop. A diamond blade is also unnecessary, as those are designed for harder materials like natural stone, which Corian is not.

After cutting, the edge will be rough. It is essential to sand and smooth the cut edge to prevent microfractures, which can eventually compromise the integrity of the countertop.

There are two ways you can cut trim for doorways: with a miter saw or a table saw. Mitered joints need a 45-degree angle. If you’re unfamiliar with a miter saw, you might want to consider buying extra trim pieces or choosing butted joints instead. One wrong cut, and you’ll need to power up the saw again with a new piece. 

Butted joints—also called shaker style—don’t need a 45-degree angle. Instead, your side pieces attach perpendicularly to the header trim and only require a straight cut.

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.

While you may have heard people use millwork and carpentry interchangeably, they aren’t the same. Millwork is a type of carpentry, which means that carpentry isn’t always millwork. You can tell millwork apart from other types of carpentry because it’s manufactured at a mill. Notably, casework is also confused with millwork. Casework is different because it refers to boxes like cabinets and bookshelves.
