"Excellent job! We hired the company for few projects- custom walk-in closets, cabinets and laundry. The precision and attention to detail was exceptional. It was very nice to work with and they listened to every request we made. We were very pleased with the overall experience and will hire them again. Strongly recommend."

"My home is old, with small, narrow closets. The existing closet made my clothes scream in agony, and it barely fit half of my attire. Cynthia came to my home as a designer, and it was clear she was very experienced. She was really direct about what could be done with my limited space and configuration. I was excited for anything different, to be honest!! We spent a lot of time discussing closet options, and by the end of the day, she had already sent me renderings and ideas. The price was fantastic, and I got it scheduled right away. I ripped up my existing closets, patched, and repainted, and Dan came a few weeks later to install everything. He was really professional and friendly. My closets look amazing. I am able to put all of my clothes in these two closets, including all of my summer clothes. No more storage of winter/summer items! They look amazing, and I truly feel they added to the value of my home. Everything is bright and fresh and I just could not be happier. Pricing was fantastic in my mind. I cannot recommend this company enough."

"The owner and installers were very professional, and had great communication throughout the process. They came up with functional designs that didn’t cost a fortune and look beautiful. These closets made such a big difference! They did the walk in closet in the primary bedroom and our entryway closet. We liked those so much that we ended up doing both of our sons’ closets and laundry room two months later! I am a Realtor, and I have been referring them to all of my clients! Great company and product!"

"Our experience with Bursey construction was absolutely amazing from start to finish. We knew that we wanted to remodel our deck but didnâ t know where to begin. However, James did a great job walking us through the process and working within our budget. He completed everything in a timely manner and maintained upmost professionalism. Overall, I couldnâ t be happier with how our deck turned out. Would highly recommend!"

"Master Bathroom Upgrade Review I highly recommend this construction company for any home renovation project. They recently completed an upgrade of our master bathroom, and the experience and final result were exceptional. The project was completed on time and on budget, which was a huge relief. I've heard countless stories of cost overruns and timeline delays, and I was genuinely expecting both. This company’s commitment to their initial proposal was a testament to their professionalism and meticulous planning. The team's craftsmanship was outstanding. The crew consistently arrived on time, starting their day at 7:30 am and working diligently until 6:30 pm. Their work ethic and dedication were truly impressive. My wife and I also felt completely comfortable and safe with them in our home. They were respectful of our space, only interacting with us when necessary The design process was a key part of our positive experience. Kim, our designer, did an outstanding job."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

While carpenters and woodworkers perform similar tasks, their focus differs. A carpenter is typically responsible for the structural woodwork involved in construction, such as framing, installing sheathing, hanging kitchen cabinets, and installing trusses. In contrast, a woodworker handles more intricate and custom projects, like building custom furniture, installing wainscoting, and creating detailed interior trim and moldings. Based on these definitions, many woodworkers can perform the tasks of a carpenter, but it's always best to discuss your specific project with a professional to ensure they have the necessary skills.

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. 

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.

If you don’t have a power saw with a blade where you can adjust the angle, you could use a miter box and hand saw to make the cuts. The miter box contains wide slots to support the piece of baseboard and other narrow slots to accommodate the blade of the hand saw. However, it’s tough to make non-standard cuts beyond 30 or 45 degrees when using a miter box.

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).
