"I am so pleased with the work done by the Zefi Group. They caulked and repainted my windows and front door and made my house look incredible!!! They are perfectionists and have great pride in the work that they do. I highly recommend them."
"He was very nice and polite. He was prepared and had thought through our problems with the pictures sent. I think our gate problems have been resolved. I have asked to come back to fix a receptacle and replace place batteries in one of my cameras."
"I have used Matt for many home projects before he joined the Homeadvisor app. He has assembled furniture, professionally caulked 2 showers, fixed a cabinet door, installed a new ceiling fan, and I'm sure there were more items that I forgot to list. I highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for work done at home. I believe he is a great addition to the Homeadvisor contractor list."
"They did a wonderful job with a bathroom remodel project. The cost estimate came in significantly lower than other contractors, and the work was high quality. They even came back to fix a minor problem with the shower faucet that we noticed a week later. I would definitely use them again and would recommend to anyone looking for handyman services."
"Smithwright has contacted me and will be calling me on Monday, May 27 to let me know when he might be able to start. We have gone back and forth via email so that he understand what is needed. As stated, he called Monday and asked if I was available the next day at 9am to have the maintenance performed which was perfect. He called Tuesday morning before 9 to inform me he was running a bit late and would be there between 9:30 and 10. He arrived as promised. We discussed the maintenance to be perfomed including what I was interested in and he evaluated the door and issues and recommended the weatherstripping but stated the sweep was still in decent shape, so I agreed to only the weather stripping. He went to the local Lowes to pick up the necessary materials and returned in reasonable time and began. It took a little over an hour. I reviewed the work and it appeared to be a good job. Bill asked if I had considered a storm door which I stated I had recently. He stated he usually charges for a minimum of two hours but gave me a discount which was appreciated. The entire job cost $193 (including materials). Considering the cost, job quality, and customer service; I would definitely hire Smithwright again for any handyman type work."
"An excellent job putting together the large wardrobes. Arrived on time, professional, prepared, skilled and good customer service. I recommend Jose for any handyman needs, and will use his services in the future as needed."

After cutting Corian® to the right size, you may have to attach it to another piece of Corian®, either at a corner or another seam. One way to create the tightest seam is to place the two pieces of Corian® on a level surface at ⅜-inch apart. Run a router in between the two slabs to create an identical edge on both pieces. Then use the proper DuPont Joint Adhesive for your type of seam and countertop to join the Corian® together.
Prioritize tasks and arrange a consultation to discuss scope and timeline with the handyman.
