"We recently had custom built-in bookshelves designed and installed by CT Yankee Crafts, and we couldn't be happier. From start to finish, the experience was an absolute pleasure. Nick was very communicative throughout the whole process, and he listened to our vision, then translated it onto paper and then into a beautiful masterpiece and a focal point in our new home. The best part is filling them up! Watching our book collection find its new home on these gorgeous, sturdy shelves has been so satisfying. It has completely transformed the room into a cozy sanctuary. Highly recommended for any custom woodwork!"

"I hired A2Z to tackle a number of projects around our house. A few bathrooms were remodeled, interior paint/spackling and exterior Ipe trim. I cannot be more pleased with the work done to our house. Weslyn was excellent at communicating when and what workers were going to be at the house. The workers a) did amazing work b) thoroughly cleaned up c) seemed to be good people. From painters to carpenters to plumbers..everyone did great work. I feel I got great value for my money and great work as well. I will hire A2Z again for other projects around the house. Ty Weslyn."

"Lav and his team did an amazing job on my exterior trim and window frames. My house is a 125 year old stucco that the wood trim trim had been completely rotted. Now it look brand new! I also hired them to replace the original wood support columns in the basement with steel."

"Best and quickest work Iâ ve ever hired. I definitely will be using BD Builders again. I hired them Saturday morning and showed up to start the work on Sunday, which helped my situation a lot. They did a partial bathroom remodel and work was done efficiently and finished same day with a great cleanup afterwards at a great price. I highly recommend them."

"Chuck harless did a wonderful job painting our wicker furniture. He checked with the manufacturer to ensure the paint was right, he even ordered new plastic feet to replace some that were missing. The furniture looks brand new. He took the time to do the job right. I am very pleased with the result, and highly recommend Harless Custom Cabinetwork."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Most landscape timbers are 8 feet long, but some are also available in 10-foot and 12-foot lengths. Choose the length that will allow you to install landscape timbers using the least amount of cutting to fit. Shorter timbers will allow you to more easily create angles and shorter plant bed sides.

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.

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.

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.
