"Richard is a good guy but needs more experience and attention to detail. His pricing is good but needs to pay attention to detail. Did not keep worksite clean. He did injure his leg in a car accident which affected his performance on the new vinyl plank work on our project. He is a hard worker and wants to do a good job so I think he will be okay."

"Tom is a very good and qualified contractor who is working to get his builders license. He gets the job done with top quality and care for the homeowner. He also took pictures at different stages of the job to show us exactly what he did. This was done because my wife and I are seniors and we could not go up on the roof and see for ourselves the progress of the job. I would have given FMC straight 5 stars but I feel that we were overcharged on the final bill. It ended up being a lot more money for the time put in on the job. Make sure that if you hire any contractor that you have everything in writing and ask for a itemized final bill. This is one thing we did not do and I take full responsibility of that portion of the contract. I don't know what carpenter's get for time and materials but I believe that $150 to $200 per hour is a bit much! All I ask of a contractor is to be fair and to me the final bill was not! I wish FMC the best of luck but I can no longer afford them for anymore more work!"

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts

Here are some things to avoid to help protect, maintain, and care for laminate countertops. Do not put hot pans or appliances directly onto the countertops because they can scorch the surface. Always use trivets and hot pads. Avoid using harsh, abrasive cleaning products and steel wool. Opt for hot, soapy water and a soft microfiber cloth instead.

The best tool for cutting countertops depends on the type of countertop material. For some softer materials, like laminate (Formica) and butcher block, you can use a hand saw, but most experts recommend power saws like circular saws, since these make the job go faster and easier and give more even results. However, power saws and circular saws are dangerous if used incorrectly, and they can be so powerful that they damage or chip laminate, stone, and other types of countertops. For this reason, you should take safety precautions and use best practices to prevent damage.

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.

Epoxy is typically more affordable than granite, especially if you’re choosing a high-end slab. Most granite countertops cost $75 to $145 per square foot to install, with high-end varieties topping $185 per square foot. 

In contrast, epoxy countertops cost $50 to $150 per square foot to install. The material costs for epoxy are significantly lower than granite, but installation costs can be higher. Rather than simply cutting granite countertops to size before installation, your contractor will need to carefully pour the epoxy over an existing surface.

No, you don't have to apply polyurethane to butcher block countertops. Polyurethane sealant is a long-lasting finish for a butcher block counter, but its application also requires thoroughly sanding the surface multiple times. Other materials, such as mineral oil, require less work but must be applied more frequently.
