"They did a great job painting our son's nursery! Clear communication from the beginning, excellent price, and a quick turnaround for both the quote and the actual job. Tom was extremely efficient and detailed with the chair railing and trim work. The room looks amazing and I even had him take a look at another potential project so we will absolutely be using Just Right again. Couldn't be happier with the end result!"

"Walter from Jag construction has done a few projects for us as well as some commercial work at our building to mention a few. We started with our commercial property in Smithtown. He came in and went right to work and the timeline was fantastic. We called him to our home to finish our basement thereafter. I was so impressed I also had him reconfigure our first floor laundry room as well. This year he’s doing a few more projects here! It’s not everyday you find a professional that treats your home like his own and his recommendations are always well planned and precise which to me is greatly appreciated. I can’t say enough good things about this contractor and would have him do any project beyond my scope at either our home or business alike. A++++ Frank and Mary O’Donnell Speonk, NY"

"We couldnâ  t be more pleased with the job that John did on our front porch. He is an excellent craftsman. He gave us a reasonable price, was on time and completed the work exactly as we had requested. He left the porch and the job site completely cleaned. We would highly recommend him to others W&K"

"Arthur gave us a fair and competitive estimate and was able to start work quickly thereafter. He and his team did an excellent job gutting and totally remodeling two bathrooms and a closet as well as redoing some of the wood flooring, moving vents, and moving hallways. Arthur himself was at the home everyday and did the important work himself. He also went the extra mile in helping us with small projects around the major project as they came up. He was extremely responsive in provided us with timely updates. When complications occurred (due to the house having not been renovated in 40 years) he was clear and helpful in keeping the project on schedule. He was extremely honest and I trusted him to be alone in my house for weeks on end with his team. I would/plan to work with Arthur again in the future for my home renovation projects."

"Hendriks contracting was extremely collaborative and easy to work with. They demo d and removed all traces of my old dilapidated deck and installed a beautiful paver patio complete with landing and fire pit to specifications. They were quick, efficient and clean. Very easy to work with. I would absolutely hire them for next my project."

"If you are looking for someone honest and who has stellar attention to detail, Hugo and his team are for you. I tried to get other contractors to come to my house for over a month to just provide an estimate and got the run around. Hugo came the following day, sent me a quote, and got right to work. We had to demo a shower due to a failed vinyl pan and he handled the whole job with care and efficiency. He also handled other odds and ends around the house I had problems with at the same time. To say I am happy is an understatement, I have found the contractor I will use for everything I need for years to come. Thanks Hugo!"

Woodworking FAQs, answered by experts

You don’t need a cutting board. In fact, cutting is the original purpose of butcher block countertops. That said, wood is porous and can harbor germs. You’ll need to clean your countertop thoroughly after use. Knives can also scratch the surface. This adds to the patina of the wood, but not everyone likes the look—in which case, you may want to use a cutting board.

There are two ways you can cut trim for doorways: with a miter saw or a table saw. Mitered joints need a 45-degree angle. If you’re unfamiliar with a miter saw, you might want to consider buying extra trim pieces or choosing butted joints instead. One wrong cut, and you’ll need to power up the saw again with a new piece. 

Butted joints—also called shaker style—don’t need a 45-degree angle. Instead, your side pieces attach perpendicularly to the header trim and only require a straight cut.

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.

Spindles on a deck may also be called balusters or pickets. While not as important to the structural support of the deck as the rail posts, they play a critical role in ensuring the deck is safe to use by closing in large gaps in the railing. For this reason, balusters must be no more than 4 inches away from one another.

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.
