"We happened upon Shawn replacing a deck for someone in our neighborhood. He came and looked at our deck that needed replaced. He drew up a professional estimate with pictures of the deck and back stairs he would build for for us and we hired him. He listened to our wants and needs that were fulfilled. Shawn, Justin and Wyatt were very kind, personable and very professional. I highly recommend Shawn Miner for all your building/project needs. We couldn't have found anybody better. Thank you Shawn 😊"

"My name is Gary Balogh and I hired vision Builders two design and install a fence on my property. Vision Builders build a high-quality fence which is an asset to my property. They had an acceptable price and did an outstanding job. They were always on time always courteous. during the project, and after the project was completed, they cleaned the property always secured it at night. When I complete the rest of our fencing, I will use them and would highly recommend them to anybody that wants an expect quality work. They are asset to the construction industry."

"Good honest people genuinely interested in your project and not the money like others. On the job when they said they would be and left it clean no mess. The work they did for me was top notch just doesn't get any better. I will use them again to built my deck and other projects. You can not go wrong by hiring this company."

Woodworking FAQs, answered by experts

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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.

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

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 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.
