"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."

"Bob Younger came to the house and we discussed everything I wanted done.  After I agreed to the price, the work was scheduled within a short period of time.  However, I needed to change the date of the closet installation, and they were very accommodating.  On the day of the installation, Justin arrived on time, and got to work immediately.  The work was finished in a few hours.   It was a very professional job, and Justin cleaned up any debris afterward.  I am very happy with the work that was done and would not hesitate to use their services again, and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

"We are highly satisfied with the work we had completed. Insulation, drywall, framing repair, beam and post work, and painting. The basement looks great and we would definitely use them again in the future. Communication is great, pricing is fair, and there is a lot of care put into the work that they do."

"We couldn’t be more pleased with the work done by Nick and his crew! From start to finish it was a pleasure to work with them. We secured several bids and Nick’s was the only one that broke down the work by trade so we could see where most of the budget was going and make adjustments if needed. He handled all of the permit paperwork and follow up with the city. Every day when his crew left the basement was clean and tidy. Nick does beautiful custom cabinetry and we had him do the the bar and bar back. The work is exceptional and we’ve had many complements on the quality. He carried the same custom elements to the lolly column surrounds so they now look like architectural features instead of eyesores. He and his crew worked with us every step of the way to design an awesome space for us to enjoy. All the subcontractors were top notch as well. Nick was on site every day and coordinated trades so everything moved smoothly. He responded quickly to any and all questions we had. Over the years we’ve dealt with many contractors and he is outstanding. The work done is beautiful and was done at a fair price."

Woodworking FAQs, answered by experts

It is common for a contractor to ask for a down payment before starting a project, especially for jobs that require purchasing materials and equipment or hiring a crew. The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost. While a request for up to 50% is not unusual, a contractor should not ask for more than that, and you should never pay for a project in full before the work has begun. To protect yourself, always discuss payment terms before starting and have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.

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.

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.

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.
