"We got estimates from several places. We wanted to do something a little bit unique but also inexpensive, and we were open to different ideas. Hal (who owns the company and I think is in charge of all the work) offered good ideas and design at the same price as other companies were offering something highly generic (we didn't want yet another dog-eared fence). The design incorporated both what we wanted, and ideas on his part that kept it affordable and added some interesting design features. He got the designs together, got feedback, and did custom woodworking of many of the pieces. He pushed us ahead of schedule to get posts in before we did some walkway work that we wanted to build in around the posts. They finished everything up later as planned, Hal was on site the entire time. We did have a problem with the design of one of the gates, it didn't match what we had discussed, but he saw the problem and redid that portion of the work. So, I feel good about the experience. The result is solid, usable, attractive, and was affordable. A minor complaint is that he did the cutting of treated wood on our lawn, and I'm pretty sure the chemicals from the sawdust damaged the lawn -- the grass still isn't as healthy in that spot. Also the curve of the arch didn't match our existing entryway arch as we had discussed, but I didn't really feel like making an issue of it after it had already been fully constructed. In retrospect for something very exacting like the curve of an arch I might want to lay it out on graph paper to make sure we had exactly the same thing in mind."

"had purchased this on a Deal. I moved my office to the in-law suite, and wanted something outside my norm - yet not too jarring. The decoraator is in Mass. We communicated via email, Pinterest., Houzz, their website and phone conference. I planned to reuse my light cherry office furniture, but needed to get rid of the white wall look. I sent photos of the room and a floor plan. I answered their online style questionaire and sent photo of the furnishing, my favorite Arts n Crafys desktop lamp and some of the art work I wanted to use. The result was a vibrant palate that is invigorating and joyful to work in. Using the colors from some paintings I collected in Africa15 years ago and my electric taste. the result was very bold. (Formerly my definition of bold was any color other than white or beige. The cair rail and lower walls are a terracotta with a rich deep gold on top. The remaining woodwork and doors are a dark slate gray with a satin finish. (Really - no white glossy woodwork.) I feel like I am in some exotic place when I work. I have met with other designers in the past. They ask your likes, then tell you what think regardless. Not so here, the process was interactive, two sided and balanced. The results are stunnung. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again, even if no big deal is available. "

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.
Board and batten is a type of wainscotting that uses wider boards that are placed vertically, and it has a much more rustic aesthetic than wainscotting. Common wainscotting styles are raised-panel, flat-panel, and beadboard. Wainscotting is more intricate and will typically use more elegant, subtle trims compared to the more farmhouse-inspired boards of board and batten styles.
Floor joists provide support and stability to the flooring installed above them, whether it be hardwood, tile, or carpet. They’re essentially horizontal beams that hold up the subfloor and everything that lies on top of it. Floor joists also help evenly distribute weight across their structure so that it’s shared between walls, beams, and your foundation.
Yes, Corian® and other solid surface countertops can be cut with standard woodworking tools like a circular saw or a jigsaw, but using the correct blade is crucial for the best results.
The recommended blade is a tungsten carbide-tipped blade, often called a solid-surface planer or triple chip grind blade. This type of blade is hard enough to cut through the material effectively. For a jigsaw, a fine-tooth down-cutting blade should be used.
It is important to note that a diamond blade is not necessary. Diamond blades are designed for harder materials like natural stone, concrete, or brick, and Corian is not a natural stone.
Using blades designed for wood is not recommended as they can cause microfractures that weaken the countertop's edges. While a tungsten carbide blade provides a much cleaner cut, the resulting edge will still be rough and must be sanded and smoothed to prevent microfractures from developing over time.
Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.
