"Kurt did an excellent job, saving our windows from needing full replacement. Less experienced carpenters turned down the job as the rot was extensive. Kurt left them looking better than when we purchased the house. He communicated well about the work and always let me know when he'd be arriving. He was also just a really nice person to have around for a long and tedious job -- friendly and pleasant, working hard through a heat wave. I recommend him without hesitation."

"Graeden was referred by a friend for what began as a few smaller projects — patching and painting, etc. From the very beginning, he was prompt, professional, and incredibly detail-oriented. As work progressed, I decided to refinish the hardwood floors on the first floor. The results were stunning. Seeing how beautifully the floors turned out inspired me to paint the entire first floor. Throughout the entire three-month project, Graeden was flexible, enthusiastic, and willing to accommodate additional tasks without hesitation. His workmanship is meticulous, especially when it comes to the finishing touches. He take pride in his craft and worked with me to ensure my vision became reality. Pricing was very reasonable, communication was excellent from start to finish. The end result is truly fabulous! It feels like a brand new home! I can't thank him enough! I highly recommend Graeden to anyone who is looking for quality workmanship and a contractor who genuinely cares about his work."

"Matt has done multiple projects for me, including kitchen cabinet refacing, applying new kitchen tile, kitchen floor and all new inside doors. Everything was done timely and with excellence. Matt gave me an estimate and stayed within budget. He arrives on time and cleans up as he works. He is very polite and takes the time to answer questions completely. While he was here for my door replacement, I asked him if he could install a flag on my house, that would require a base built where it attached to the house. He completed it by improvising a beautiful custom wood mount for the flag. I highly recommend Matt for any project you may have."

"Randy and his son did an outstanding job for us. We had multiple small projects; replacement/installation of drop ceilings in our basement, installation of a handrail on our basement stairs, frame in a new closet/door in our den, replacement of weather stripping around our garage doors. Randy responded quickly to my request and provided an estimate within a couple of days. The estimate was very reasonable. The work was completed quickly and the quality was outstanding. They showed up on time and cleaned up after themselves. I highly recommend."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

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.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

Labor plays a significant role in the installation of butcher block countertops. Depending on who you hire, your location, the customization level of the project, and whether the wood is already finished, you may pay a professional between $10 and $150 per square foot to install a butcher block countertop. On average, expect the per-hour price to run between $60 and $100.
