Self employed carpenter. I'm in my 60's and have a lifetime of experience. I work with another master carpenter. If you are looking for a cheap fix, we are not for you. We do quality work and expect reasonable compensation. Here is a short list of some of the things We do. Remodeling and renewing older homes. Cabinets. Trim work, including baseboards, casings, & crown moulding. Custom woodwork. Doors. All phases of painting. Deck construction and repairs (NOTE: Composite decks are nearly 40% more expensive than PT pine. Not only is the material more expensive, but the framing is more involved than a standard PT deck thus further increasing the cost). Laminate flooring. Hardwood floor repair. Drywall & taping. Minor plumbing and electric. Larger projects prefered.
"Chris was wonderful and the consummate professional. He was friendly and knowledgeable. He explained the process before he began and kept us advised along the way. The deck came out better than we could have hoped.!! It is beautiful and we get alot of compliments from the neighbors. I would recommend Hubbell's Carpentry to anyone...and I already have!"

"We had a fantastic experience with Francisco. He is very professional and very knowledgeable. Our biggest obstacle was the size of our bathroom. We have a pretty small bathroom to start of with, but Francisco was able to help us choose a perfect design and the correct materials. Francisco’s attention to detail caught my eye, pure quality workmanship from beginning to the very end. My floor tile came out perfectly and my marble walk-in shower is just fantastic with no issues. Not only did he install the shower and floor beautifully, but he also educated me in how to care for my new tile and marble shower after he was gone. I would recommend him to anyone who needs their bathroom remodeled. His prices are very fair for everything you get from him, knowledgeable, quality, and reliability. My project was roughly $7000 I truly feel it’s money well spent."

Marble and Granite questions, answered by experts
Tile installation costs about $2,000 on average. Costs vary widely depending on the installation site, the size of the area, the type of tile, the complexity of the design or pattern, and your home’s location. Prices range from as low as $400 up to $6,500 or more. Additional cost factors include the durability rating of the tile, the porosity of the tile, and the site prep requirements.
Some of the most common tile areas include:
Kitchen floor: $870–$6,100
Countertop or backsplash: $500–$3,000
Bathroom floor: $300–$2,400
Shower wall: $225–$2,000
Yes, marble floors do increase home values. In fact, if you install marble flooring in your home, you can expect to double your investment. Homebuyers love marble, like other types of stone flooring, because it’s timeless, beautiful, wears well, and is considered a luxury product. Marble is expensive to install, but if your house and location attract buyers looking for luxurious, upscale vibes, adding marble flooring can only raise your property value and give you a great return on your investment.
Yes, it’s always a good idea to keep a box or two of spare tiles after a home renovation project. Tiles can crack from improper installation, heavy foot traffic, and impact from drops. Having some extra tile on hand can make replacement fast, easy, and affordable. Plus, some manufacturers might discontinue particular colors or styles, and slight variations in tile colors between batches could mean mismatched tiles even if your product isn’t discontinued. Having a few spare tiles in storage can help avoid these issues, as well.
Bathrooms are naturally moisture-rich environments, so choose a durable, water-resistant tile for your tub surround. Porcelain and ceramic are two popular options that are also quite affordable. Glass is another good option that’s also low-maintenance—you just need a glass cleaner like you would use on the bathroom mirror. Natural stone tile is porous, but it’s still a viable option if you choose it in a glazed version.
DIY is possible, but professional installation ensures proper sealing, leveling, and longevity.
The Latham, NY homeowners’ guide to marble and granite services
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
Marble countertops have yet to go out of style, and likely won't any time soon. This strong, durable, and stunning material melds with most kitchen, bathroom, and even dining room designs. But how much do marble countertops cost to install?
The cost of porcelain countertops is affected by many factors, primarily the material's type (tile or slab) and finish, as well as your counter’s size and shape.
Many savvy homeowners ask the question: Do quartz countertops need to be sealed? This guide explains the makeup of quartz and shares what you need to know about sealing.
Are you weighing engineered stone vs. natural stone countertops? Both offer many of the same benefits, but there are differences in price, durability, and appearance.
