Customers say: Quick response

"it was not a remodel, but there was no other option for me to choose. The work that was done was miscellaneous in nature. It was prep work for a listing to be put on the market for sale post a tenant move out. So painting, microwave put in fixtures of door handles face plates, just a checklist of a number of items. It was wonderful working with Mike. He was kind he was polite. He was on time gave an estimate stay to it. It was very detailed when certain things came up certain plumbing issues sent me pictures and gave me descriptive information. Will definitely be working with him again and a very enjoyable experience."

"Extremely happy with the work Ryan and his team did in our 17 yr old home. We replaced the front door and all interior doors plus hardware, the baseboards and door trim, painted four bedrooms and bathrooms plus all the doors and trim, hung new bathroom mirrors and replaced the medicine cabinets. We also repainted our existing glass doors and trim to match the new front door. In the laundry room we replaced cabinet facing, countertop and sink, plus paint. Our home didnâ t need structural work, but this surface refresh has made it look some much more modern and up to date. Ryan is very easy to work with, is an excellent communicator and delivers on his contract. He creates line-item contracts that allow for transparency and easy decision making. I already had some other work under contract when I found Ryan and he was very flexible and accommodating about working with the existing plan and the other contractorsâ delays and issues. Everything one wants in a contractor that can be hard to find. Highly recommended."

Woodworking FAQs, answered by experts

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

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.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

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 don’t need a cutting board. In fact, cutting is the original purpose of butcher block countertops. That said, wood is porous and can harbor germs. You’ll need to clean your countertop thoroughly after use. Knives can also scratch the surface. This adds to the patina of the wood, but not everyone likes the look—in which case, you may want to use a cutting board.
