"Seth is a very skilled woodworker. We needed custom trim work done and he was excellent--able to match what we already had. We are so happy with the outcome. He was very efficient --got the work done in the time frame he estimated. His rates were also very reasonable. We are now looking for other projects that we can hire him back to do for us. We highly recommend him!"

"Green Bridge Designs was a referral from my neighbors. One that had them do a remodel and another neighbor had just had a smaller job done. I met with the owner, Paul who was very helpful because he offered a solution that fit my budget. A double window was removed and replaced with exterior siding and mid century wood paneling inside. I never liked having the window so it was a great idea. I am not an expert but the work was clearly explained, all my questions answered, and Paul was proactive, considerate, and what I would definitely call a master carpenter. Inside, I can not tell any difference between the old and the new paneling and floorboard. The exterior siding looks original. Also, it was nice that the wood was stained and dried off-site prior to interior installation due to the lingering stain odor. I am at least the third referral from Mayfair and Green Bridge Designs definitely has my vote for all future projects, big or small. Green Bridge Designs was easy to work with, offered me an innovative solution to keep me on budget with their reasonable rates. Very friendly and nice people. I highly recommend!"

"Matthew did numerous projects for me. Built me an entire new fence to replace an old one, repaired an aging deck, and repaired my lawn shed. Work was done in a timely manner, work was very well done. I highly recommend CPR to anyone needing projects done well and priced fairly. Will hire Matthew again."

Customers say: Quick response

"Gabriel and Cody did a wonderful job replacing our old and failed composite deck with beautiful, stained cedar. The new deck was built, updated with black metal spindles and stained. The existing arbor was reinforced, power washed and stained for the first time. It looks like new! They are good carpenters with attention to detail. We would highly recommend them!"

"My old tool storage shed was on it's last legs with old termite damage and years of neglect. Bunyar Construction came in and replaced all of the damaged wood, straightened the crooked framing and installed a new metal skin in place of the old rotten siding. My old shed is now as good as new ... probably better with the way the new ones are now built... and ready for another few decades of service at literally 1/3 the cost of replacing it outright. Thanks so much to Zech and his crew for their excellent hard work."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

No, you do not usually tip a carpenter for their work. However, if you’ve been very happy with the level of service and quality of work, a 10% to 20% tip would likely be accepted with thanks. If you’re not sure, it can help to discuss the carpenter’s policy or preference for tipping before beginning the project.

Joists and beams are both part of the flooring system above your basement, with the beams spanning the length of your home and getting support from vertical posts underneath, and joists usually spanning half the width of your home with no support posts underneath. The floor joists provide even support to the subflooring and flooring above, and they distribute that load to the beams. The beams then distribute that load down through the support posts to the foundation.

Whether or not it’s easier to cut wood when it’s wet versus dry depends largely on the type of tool you use and the wood you’re cutting. For example, a chain saw should still be able to cut through wet wood with relative ease, but it may be more difficult to maneuver due to the wood fibers sticking to the chains of the saw. 

However, you might want to avoid cutting wood entirely when it’s wet if you’re pruning your tree. Sawing a wet tree that you don’t plan on removing can also encourage bacterial and fungal growth and decay.

Before hiring a carpenter, the most important thing is to make sure they are properly qualified and insured for the job. It’s more than reasonable to ask your prospective carpenter for customer references, as well as about their licensing and insurance. You should also consider choosing a carpenter that specializes in your specific project area to ensure high-quality results.
