"The crew was the most informative respectful group I have met. They actually wanted to work and listened to what I wanted. I would highly recommend this company. After the bathroom remodel they even stuck around to lay a new kitchen floor that wasnâ  t in the plan."

"Awesome to work with and listens to what you want. Communication was awesome. The quality Workmanship is amazing. This young man has talent!!! It would only allowed me to choose one item that they did for usâ ¦.but Iâ ve listed all the rest.. First we had him make all our cabinets for our kitchen and also our 4 bathroom vanities.. While he was at our home installing them, I asked if heâ d ever made a mantel for a fire placeâ ¦.he had not. But said he was willing to learn. Itâ s a corner fireplace so had to also have the wood for the open top. We also challenged him to make a hidden bookshelf door for under our stairway. He had never made one before. He took the challenge and did an amazing job. Once those were completed, we had him do two more hidden doors. One was a double (another challenge) hidden door bookshelf with storage, the other a single hidden door with storage. Then we had him build a pantry closet. We've given their information/business card out to many people. Weâ ll definitely be hiring them again in our next home. We highly recommend them."

"The man I talked to was very professional and timely. However, he explained that this particular job was beyond the scope of what their company does. I would certainly use them on another 'issue'.

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Carpentry is a skilled trade and requires many years of experience to acquire the skills necessary to do the job efficiently and correctly. Because every home requires a carpenter at some stage of the building process, carpenters are typically in high demand. The higher the skill level, the higher the hourly rate the carpenter can charge.

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.

You don’t need a cutting board. In fact, cutting is the original purpose of butcher block countertops. That said, wood is porous and can harbor germs. You’ll need to clean your countertop thoroughly after use. Knives can also scratch the surface. This adds to the patina of the wood, but not everyone likes the look—in which case, you may want to use a cutting board.

If you don’t have a coping saw, you can use an angle grinder to cope crown molding, but it takes a little more precision. Place your molding down on your workbench, angle the grinder at a 45-degree angle toward the molding, and back cut the wood. You’ll need to carefully angle your grinder to accommodate the curves in the wood, and aim to remove around 1 inch from the profile of the molding.

Rustic and modern farmhouse styles are currently the most popular. These include rustic and antique furniture, muted colors, clean lines, eclectic decor, and natural materials. Some other popular farmhouse styles include the following:

  • Coastal farmhouse: Creates a lighter, airier feel with soft colors and blue palettes, along with gold

  • Colonial farmhouse: Focuses on real antique furniture and decor

  • French farmhouse: Leans on French country architecture and design by including marble and lighter-colored metals, like zinc

  • Industrial farmhouse: Includes thick, chunky furniture and dark metals

  • Scandinavian farmhouse: Usually includes lighter wood colors and more refined furniture
