"If I had one word to describe Elegance Custom Cabinetry it would be "Outstanding". From the beginning, you could tell the passion, Dmitry (the owner) had in custom cabinetry. During the process of designing our new kitchen we went through 3 other cabinet makers and all either seemed to hate what they did or were non-responsive to our questions. Dmitry and his team were professional, friendly, prompt, dedicated, and perfectionists. In any project, you will have issues or unexpected challenges...Elegance ALWAYS had solutions and ALWAYS addressed them promptly. I am confident that without Elegance and Dmitry, our kitchen would have taken twice as long, for twice the cost, and with half of the result. I could not more highly recommend Elegance Cabinetry to anyone."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.
