"Hunt’s Home Improvement has done excellent work for me. Colt showed up on time and communicated extremely well and helped with restoration of my dream cabin. Originally Hired him for flooring install and ended up having him do trim, paint, some drywall and he fixed my cabinet install that I had messed up. I highly recommend Colt for all your home improvement needs."

"John was polite, prompt and professional. He accomplished all the tasks on my to do list quickly and had creative solutions for problems that cropped up. I had a wide range of things to fix after a destructive tenant trashed a house that I am preparing to sell. I have a lot of construction skills but was short on time and tools so John was just the ticket. He even went the extra mile and found some tile which matched some that I needed to replace. I highly recommend him. He will not disappoint."

"The crew worked hard to make our vision come to life. They offered good ideas and solutions to problems, as well as creative ideas for our space to make it more appealing and efficient. When they ran into issues, they were able to problem solve to fix it. They were very communicative about their progress throughout the process. They have a lot of experience remodeling all kinds of homes including manufactured, which was wonderful for our situation. Their prices were fair and lower than others in our area (by a lot!). They can do just about anything! We will be using this crew again for future projects and recommend them to others!"

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.

Many people, including professionals in the field, use baluster and spindle interchangeably to describe the vertical components of a railing (or technically, a balustrade). However, there are subtle or distinct differences, depending on who you ask. The most common interpretation is that spindles are thin or delicate versions of balusters.

Many contractors prefer checks because they’re easy to track and have no associated fees. However, many also accept credit cards (though they might add a fee to cover their processing costs).

While the Arts and Crafts movement inspired many architectural elements, the primary styles from the time include Craftsman, Tudor Revivals, bungalows, and Mission homes. You'll see elements of these styles in homes, churches, museums, and schools—particularly Country Day schools from the era.

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.
