"Dave Aaronson and his partner did a wonderful job extending our fence with chain link fencing. They were extremely competent and efficient. I have absolutely no complaints. I would hire them again in a minute. Excellent job!!"

"We couldn't be happier with our new 4-season sunroom, and we can't say enough about the people at Better Living Patio Rooms! We've had a lot of work done at our house over the years, but the crew from Better Living stands above the rest. Once the project began, work continued - without pause - until it was completed. From Anthony in sales, Mike in project management, Michelle and Jenn in the office, and Frank and Justin (who did the work), they were professional, detail-oriented, and friendly. I highly recommend Better Living. Brian in McCandless."

"We hired Anthony to perform a *laundry room addition* to our house. We live in an older home and wanted to take out a 2nd floor extra storage space that we were not using and convert it into a laundry room. The price was fair but the service and work were well above average. They go above and beyond and get the job done quickly without cutting corners and fixing previous DIY improvement disasters. I could not recommend Anthony and the company more. Look no further, because this is your guy."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Most landscape timbers are 8 feet long, but some are also available in 10-foot and 12-foot lengths. Choose the length that will allow you to install landscape timbers using the least amount of cutting to fit. Shorter timbers will allow you to more easily create angles and shorter plant bed sides.

If you’re just replacing a few broken or damaged joists, you can expect to pay anywhere from $100 to $300 per joist. However, a complete installation for a home or room will take into account the cost of labor, which ranges from $25 to $40 per hour. Floor joist installation for an entire room, for example, can cost between $5,000 and $10,000, depending on the room's size and the materials used.

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.

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.

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.
