"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."

"Michael Garman is a true craftsman. His preparation is superior, ending in a flawless result. He is patient, professional and a thoroughly nice person. I have employed Michael in the part, both for woodwork repair (excellent results), and painting (flawless). I called him again, this time to remove wallpaper and paint my bathroom, kitchen and exterior door. He is so easy to work with, a real pleasure. He is always prompt, communicates very well, is considerate and respectful. HIs attention to detail is superb. It is clear that he takes great pride in his work. This is the third job Michael has done for me, and I WILL hire him again. I recommend him most highly!"

The installers were all friendly and professional. I highly recommend!"

"Willie was more than the professional we needed. As General Contractor's we often use these services to repair our wrought iron fences. Also, this contractor offers fabrication for metal and fence installation. We're continuing our relationship of services with this contractor for our properties large and small. Thanks Willie."

"They did a great job. My back exterior door needed a full replacement, including adding two inches of frame to the top to standardize our door size for our older house. Dynamic was responsive to my calls and texts, communicated well, and ultimately did a great job with the door installation. It looks great and is exactly what I was hoping for."

"Mark was incredibly knowledgeable and professional. He was very responsive and quick to get each project done. I was very pleased with how reasonable the pricing was - especially considering the high quality of the work. After having such a positive experience, I asked Mark to do an additional project. He had the job done within 24 hours. The job took less time than he anticipated, and he didn’t charge for his time. He’s not only a professional, but a really good guy."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Most contractors do not charge for meetings, but it can depend on the project, mainly if it includes detailed consultations or project planning. For general estimates, homeowners shouldn't expect to be charged. Always ask up front about meeting fees to avoid surprises and ensure you know what’s included in the process.

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.

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.

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.
