"I highly recommend Edwin and his team at E&V remodeling and a variety of projects. They were true professionals and did a fantastic job with power spraying our siding and replacing all of our outdated window screen mesh with high-quality materials. They also knocked out several 'odd jobs' and exceeded expectations. They were professional, punctual, and very easy to work with. I look forward to working with them in the near future. Rod H."

Customers say: True professional

"Exceptional work! I hired FAMB Construction, LLC after interviewing quite a contractors (large and small companies) to replace my wood deck with Trex composite decking. Noel and Claudia are extremely professional from start to finish of the project and clearly communicated in detail what work was going to be done. Noel provided a variety of actual samples choose from and provided helpful details on how the project would be completed. My deck looks amazing and Noel even corrected some deck issues that were not within the scope of the project. I would highly recommend FAMB Construction for their high level craftmanship, professionalism, timeliness, and cost efficiency in completing my project. Truly a Five Star ***** contractor, no exaggeration."

"Doug replaced a 30 year old deck support post and did an excellent job. He had to 'problem-solve' some prior construction issues which demonstrated his excellent carpentry skills. I will certainly use Doug in future projects around our home!"

"Carlos and his crew did outstanding work in installing a new ceiling in our living and dining rooms and in painting those rooms and our kitchen cabinets. We are absolutely delighted with the results! They were very punctual. Carlos explained the steps needed to complete the jobs. He and his crew took great care of our furnishings and left the rooms in spotless condition. His prices seemed more than fair. He and his crew were pleasant and friendly. It was a pleasure having them in our home! We will not hesitate to hire them again should the need arise. We highly recommend them! Bill and Pat Carpenter"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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. 

Homeowners insurance may cover damaged floor joists, depending on your policy. Insurance typically covers issues from storms, fires, or water damage from burst pipes. However, don't expect your insurance company to cover damage from wear and tear, poor maintenance, or termites.

Wooden soffits, when properly cared for, can last between 10 and 25 years, depending on the type of wood and the climate you live in. Certain wood types will last longer than others, and you might want to consider the cost of replacing soffits when you break down the total project cost. While an initially higher-priced material might seem counterintuitive, it can make more financial sense if you don’t plan on moving. 

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.

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.
