"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."

Tipping contractors, builders, or general contractors is not customary or expected. Unlike many service professions where tipping is built into the payment structure, construction professionals typically charge a full rate for their services. However, you may choose to tip a worker for exceptional service, such as if they go above and beyond, stay late to meet a deadline, or work on a holiday weekend. Before offering a tip, it's a good idea to ask about the company's policy, as some prohibit their employees from accepting gratuities. If you want to show your appreciation for a job well done without giving a cash tip, consider writing a positive online review or offering to serve as a reference for potential new customers.
Most contractors do not charge for meetings, but it can depend on the project, mainly if it includes detailed consultations or project planning. For general estimates, homeowners shouldn't expect to be charged. Always ask up front about meeting fees to avoid surprises and ensure you know what’s included in the process.
Rustic and modern farmhouse styles are currently the most popular. These include rustic and antique furniture, muted colors, clean lines, eclectic decor, and natural materials. Some other popular farmhouse styles include the following:
Coastal farmhouse: Creates a lighter, airier feel with soft colors and blue palettes, along with gold
Colonial farmhouse: Focuses on real antique furniture and decor
French farmhouse: Leans on French country architecture and design by including marble and lighter-colored metals, like zinc
Industrial farmhouse: Includes thick, chunky furniture and dark metals
Scandinavian farmhouse: Usually includes lighter wood colors and more refined furniture
Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.
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.
