"My husband & I used Sturdy Woodworks to have our kitchen completely redone! The owner Hart Withrow, is actually hands on with his crew, which I admired. He pays a lot of attention to detail and if things aren’t precise, he will redo it until it is. Hart has a strong background in woodworking so we hired him to come back to design, build and install tasteful, elegant yet functional bathroom cabinets & drawers. Not only was the work done on time but it all turned out beautifully. I would most definitely recommend this company for remodeling of both Kitchen & Bathrooms! Not to mention custom woodworking!"

"Paul and his crew did a fantastic job building and installing cabinets in our kitchen. When we bought a farm sink after-the-fact that didn't fit, he came back out and refaced the cabinet and installed the sink. It all looks beautiful and works great. He and his crew were quick and clean. I definitely plan on hiring him again for other projects."

"Robin and Dave, Robin's Carpenter, were extremely professional. They always explained everything that they were doing, and went above and beyond the job. When they found faulty construction on my house when they were removing wood rot, Dave rebuilt the area instead of just covering it up and painting it. I also like the fact that they put two coats of paint on my trim instead of just one. And Robin went even further than that! He put an extra coat on my original garage door that I'm trying to keep for as long as possible. :-) I have already recommended Robin and Dave to my neighbors and friends!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Carpentry is a skilled trade and requires many years of experience to acquire the skills necessary to do the job efficiently and correctly. Because every home requires a carpenter at some stage of the building process, carpenters are typically in high demand. The higher the skill level, the higher the hourly rate the carpenter can charge.

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.

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.

Professionals ensure safe, thorough repairs using quality materials, extending the life of your structure.

Whether or not it’s easier to cut wood when it’s wet versus dry depends largely on the type of tool you use and the wood you’re cutting. For example, a chain saw should still be able to cut through wet wood with relative ease, but it may be more difficult to maneuver due to the wood fibers sticking to the chains of the saw. 

However, you might want to avoid cutting wood entirely when it’s wet if you’re pruning your tree. Sawing a wet tree that you don’t plan on removing can also encourage bacterial and fungal growth and decay.
