"I purchased an Angie's List coupon for $200 worth of work for $100 towards a full upholstery job. After they were delivered pictures of my chair, condition, and materials, gave a decent quote - slightly above competitors, but decent, and I went with it. And I trusted the prior positive Angies List reviews. The chair was delivered and materials selected, then I was told that since the chair was smaller than expected I was going to be given a "discount," however the discount given was taken off of a base price $100 over the originally quoted price. There went the Angie's List coupon value. Later the owner told me the pricing discrepancy my fault since I didn't debate the price up front - not an endeavor I want, or should have to undertake. 
I was quoted a finished product in 10-14 days (not business, calendar, I specified), and was told I would get emails with pictures of the job, and updates along the way. The wood trim would look "like new," and everything would be rehabilitated. Awesome! 
Except, after a month I hadn't gotten an email, call, smoke signal, etc. I figured that my chair must have been finished after passing the three-times-past-due-date, so I stopped in to pick it up - and was told the fabric just arrived. It was still going to take 10 days, but they'd let me know this time. 
They did call me. And when I picked up the chair, the upholstery was (and is) really nice. I have zero problem with it, in fact. BUT, the price was inflated after the detailed estimate - presumably to recoup the $100 Angie's List discount - which I brought up when paying for the work they'd done. I was told that "nobody would do it cheaper," which I don't believe since I'd gotten quotes of between half to 2/3rd the price I paid for the same piece. I was told the delay of almost 40 days instead of 10 was out of their control due to "fabric shipping time" when I could've shipped my entire chair out of state for a guaranteed re-upholstery job withing 30 days for less cost. I can't buy into any of the story. 
When I picked it up, there were chunks of their cushion material still duct-taped to the bottom after the "thorough" rehab. The wood that was supposedly going to look like new was, honestly, awful, and clearly worse off than when I dropped the chair off when I compared original pictures vs final product - when refinishing wood at a premium price, I'd expect refinishing, not somebody trying to cover up the screw-ups with a brown magic marker. Worse wood after their "work" than when I brought it in, I assume because they were late on delivery and rushed the job, perhaps.
Regardless. Great upholstery, truly. Nice shop, nice staff, no problem with that, it's truly great. But shady on the pricing that eliminated my original "discount", blew way past their product deadline, did a poor job on the woodwork... and then outwardly told me as a customer that I was the problem. And, I paid double the price of other quotes based on reputation? 
Not willing bring them more work. But I hope they can correct the issues and serve others well, since they seem like they have a solid core.

Woodworking FAQs, answered by experts

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

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.

While carpenters and woodworkers perform similar tasks, their focus differs. A carpenter is typically responsible for the structural woodwork involved in construction, such as framing, installing sheathing, hanging kitchen cabinets, and installing trusses. In contrast, a woodworker handles more intricate and custom projects, like building custom furniture, installing wainscoting, and creating detailed interior trim and moldings. Based on these definitions, many woodworkers can perform the tasks of a carpenter, but it's always best to discuss your specific project with a professional to ensure they have the necessary skills.

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.

Professionals ensure safe, thorough repairs using quality materials, extending the life of your structure.
