"The outdoor kitchen project had been on our list for years, but we wanted it done right. Way To Go Builders, under Miki's supervision, poured a concrete base, installed paver surfacing, and faced the kitchen island with natural stone veneer. The attention to detail - from the joint alignment to the gas line integration - was remarkable. The finished space fits the architecture perfectly and gives us a true entertaining area, not just a patio."

"I recently hired Evolution Contracting for baseboard work in my home, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. Ulisses was incredibly quick and attentive to respond from the start. Not only was the craftsmanship excellent, but he is also very personable and easy to approach. It’s a relief to find someone who does great work and is easy to communicate with. I’m very happy with the job he did and will definitely be using him again for future projects!"

"We recently completed our home construction project with this company, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Building a house can be stressful, but their professionalism, transparency, and dedication made the process smooth and enjoyable. From the initial consultation through the final walkthrough, their team demonstrated exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. They took the time to understand our vision, offered practical suggestions, and kept us informed at every stage of the build. The project was completed on schedule and within the agreed budget, with no surprises along the way. The quality of work truly stands out. The finishes are flawless, the structure feels solid and well-built, and every detail reflects their commitment to excellence. The crew was respectful, punctual, and maintained a clean and organized job site throughout the construction. We highly recommend this construction company to anyone looking to build their home."

"Still in process, but so far they have been excellent. We have run into a snag with the job the flooring company (it was NOT done by JB Custom Finish .. Now I wish I had used them) and JB has, and is, doing everything they can to help us through this."

"Although there were many to choose from, I chose Hernandez framing to build a deck/concrete patio in my back yard and I am very pleased with the work that was done. I will hire them for upcoming projects and will pass them on to anyone that need something as such. It was done in a timely manner, material was always kept neatly."

"My husband runs his own business and often leaves all the house concerns to me which can be a challenge for a female in a typically non female zone. Ed came out inspected our roof offered a much more cost effective option of repair instead of replacement which brought me a sigh of relief which was priceless. I will recommend them to anyone and everyone scream it from the rooftops literally !!!!!!!!!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

On average, the cost to hire a carpenter ranges from about $75 to $100 per hour, depending on the type of carpentry, location, size of the job, and skill level of the carpenter. Get quotes from at least three carpenters in your area to determine the best price for your specific project.

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 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.

Many modern homes have soffits, but older ones don’t, and you may be wondering why. Older homes have eaves that extend further beyond the home and help to circulate air, negating the need for a soffit. This style of building has faded away, therefore, modern homes need separate soffit installation. Modern soffits are more efficient than this older style and require less material to construct, saving homeowners money.

Yes, carpenters can fix squeaky floors. They have the expertise to identify the source of the squeak, whether it’s loose floorboards, subfloor issues, or joist problems. These experts also have the right tools and hands-on knowledge to secure the flooring and eliminate the noise, ensuring a long-lasting solution.
