"I highly recommend Ed Morrow. He did an excellent job repairing my fence, even coming up with a few ideas I hadn't thought of. He completed the job in a timely fashion, cleaned up the work area as though he hadn't been there, and was very reasonable with his pricing. I have already hired Ed for another project in the near future and have referred him to friends as well."

"I had an excellent experience with SZ Home Construction?. They completed the chimney maintenance, cleaning, and painting professionally and at a very reasonable price. The work was finished on time, and the quality exceeded my expectations. What impressed me the most was their attention to detail and respect for cleanliness ? they cleaned the entire area thoroughly after finishing the job, leaving everything neat and organized. Their team was polite, calm, and very easy to deal with. They worked smoothly and quietly without creating unnecessary noise or disturbance, which made the whole experience comfortable and stress-free. I also appreciated their professional and legal payment process through bank checks, which added an extra level of trust and reliability. I highly recommend SZ Home Construction? to anyone looking for honest, professional, and high-quality home service work."

"Last summer after purchasing our home we knew we wanted our kitchen to get a makeover. We talked to several local contractors and no one seemed to be able to suite our needs. Zack did an estimate for us and we immediately felt he was the one to bring our project to life. We knew we had some major problem areas and he reassured us they wouldnâ t be a problem. When it came time for our job it seemed quick and effortless for him to complete once we got past back order issues for the hardware we needed to convert our cabinets to a soft closing door. Our dog and toddler have successfully shown us the durability of Zackâ s work and the product he uses. We have family that are already on his schedule for their kitchen to be done and they are excited to have a beautiful updated kitchen without the hassle of a total renovation."

"We just had Scarpone and Sons replace our roof in the middle of winter!! They chose the perfect day to rip off the existing roof and replace it in a little over a day. Lucky for us it stopped snowing just long enough for them to do what they do. They were efficient, fast, and did an excellent job. The roof no longer leaks and we are so happy! I highly recommend them to do YOUR roof. In fact we recommended them to a couple that were thinking of replacing their roof."

Woodworking FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

While the Arts and Crafts movement inspired many architectural elements, the primary styles from the time include Craftsman, Tudor Revivals, bungalows, and Mission homes. You'll see elements of these styles in homes, churches, museums, and schools—particularly Country Day schools from the era.

Board and batten is a type of wainscotting that uses wider boards that are placed vertically, and it has a much more rustic aesthetic than wainscotting. Common wainscotting styles are raised-panel, flat-panel, and beadboard. Wainscotting is more intricate and will typically use more elegant, subtle trims compared to the more farmhouse-inspired boards of board and batten styles.

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 you may have heard people use millwork and carpentry interchangeably, they aren’t the same. Millwork is a type of carpentry, which means that carpentry isn’t always millwork. You can tell millwork apart from other types of carpentry because it’s manufactured at a mill. Notably, casework is also confused with millwork. Casework is different because it refers to boxes like cabinets and bookshelves.
