"I am so glad that I chose H&M Contractor LLC to replace a middle section of my kitchen/family room that was damaged due to a busted pipe in the attic. I initially interviewed 4 contractors and H&M Contractor was #1 by far. The owner, Henry, did not hesitate to tell me how he would go about doing the repair when I asked. He also was honest when I asked if I needed to replace the whole ceiling or just the section that was damaged. I was not at home for 90% of the time but Henry sent pictures of the work as it progressed. He and his team were on time every day and ready to work. Most important is the fact that his price was fair and he did not try to push any additional services that I did not ask for or need. However, I will be hiring him again soon for another project. He promised that he would do an excellent job and he kept his word. I love his work ethic. I give this contractor 5 stars!"

"Rich gave a comprehensive estimate, came on time and did excellent work. He suggested a fix to an unexpected development (closet doors purchased were not quite wide enough). He went beyond expectations by painting the walls on either side of the new doors. He worked 2 days and did a great job cleaning up after each day. We already have talked with him about our next projects."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Many modern homes have soffits, but older ones don’t, and you may be wondering why. Older homes have eaves that extend further beyond the home and help to circulate air, negating the need for a soffit. This style of building has faded away, therefore, modern homes need separate soffit installation. Modern soffits are more efficient than this older style and require less material to construct, saving homeowners money.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

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.

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. 

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.
