"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!"

"Geo and his team recently performed exterior repair work on my home to fix rotting wood along corners and gables. The work was extensive and very detailed. The work was thorough and of the highest quality. We were extremely happy and satisfied with the repairs Geo and his crew performed. The work wasn’t easy, the front of the house sits on a tall sloping hill where ladders need to go. His team handled this wonderfully and kept the landscaping intact. From the initial estimate until the final walk-through Geo was courteous and professional and gave meaningful suggestions about which materials to use and where the issues were. It felt more like a close collaboration than just some “contractors”. It was greatly appreciated. We will definitely be using Geo again for future projects."

"Mr. John Dean came quickly to give us a fair estimate, including the purchase and deliver for the needs. Within a week, he completed with the high quality work: repairing the deck and left a new face of our deck. We had fantastic experience with John and his team. They communicated clearly throughout the project, and delivered high-quality craftsmanship. Will definitely hire them for future projects! Thanks!"

"Irek and Jeffrey from Independent Carpenters Association did outstanding work on a repair for our house. They bring a great deal of knowledge and pride in their craft and are worth every penny they charge. Our water damaged ceiling looked better than it did originally when they left. There work is great and I felt comfortable having them around my home. I happily recommend them."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

If you don’t have a coping saw, you can use an angle grinder to cope crown molding, but it takes a little more precision. Place your molding down on your workbench, angle the grinder at a 45-degree angle toward the molding, and back cut the wood. You’ll need to carefully angle your grinder to accommodate the curves in the wood, and aim to remove around 1 inch from the profile of the molding.

The boards between floor joists are called bridging or blocking boards. These are the shortest pieces of wood in the flooring system—with beams being the longest and joists sitting somewhere in the middle—and they serve to reinforce the joists and help provide even support to the flooring above. Bridging specifically helps cut down on uneven and creaking floors in your living area.

It is common for a contractor to ask for a down payment before starting a project, especially for jobs that require purchasing materials and equipment or hiring a crew. The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost. While a request for up to 50% is not unusual, a contractor should not ask for more than that, and you should never pay for a project in full before the work has begun. To protect yourself, always discuss payment terms before starting and have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.

There are several mistakes you should avoid when using butcher block countertops. Don't place hot pots or pans directly on the surface, as this can crack the wood and cause permanent damage. Avoid leaving wet items sitting on the surface, and wipe up liquids as soon as possible to avoid stains.
