"What an awesome experience. We received our quote quickly and deck was replaced with beautiful composite and black railing within a timely period! We would highly recommend this company. Our home has increased in value, but more importantly, a new friendship was made with Seth and his talented crew."

"Great to work with never tried to push more than I requested. Allen closed a 12’ open end of my deck with vinyl rails and post then enclosed the bottom with lattice. Great job and I’ve already scheduled for another project."

Customers say: Terrific value

"Rain or Shine - Frank and his team of craftsman are all honest hard working people. They built a fire pit and benches from a drawing we had put together. It is beautiful, even better than we dreamed. The craftsmanship is absolutely incredible. Frank gives you a timeframe and he always hits his mark. They keep the area clean and picked up during their time on the property. Thank you!"

Customers say: Quality work

"To say that we are happy with our new deck would be an understatement! We were referred to Elevated Home Improvement by a friend. We are Senior citizens, new to the area and were looking for the best job at the best price. Jeff Bell and his sons turned out to be everything we were hoping for. We highly recommend Elevated Home Improvement!"

"Very professional, quality work and quality materials. Continued to work during extremely cold weather and finished work within a reasonable time frame. Will give a follow up review in March when they come back to stain the steps once the pressure treated wood has dried out. They exceeded my expectation."

"I was very impressed with Sentri Homes - their customer service was excellent. They sent a subcontractor to install some vinyl laminate in my bathroom and he ended up getting glue all over the carpet in our bedroom. The sub ended up ghosting both me and Sentri, leaving me stuck with a ruined carpet. Sentri stuck with me for over a month to get the carpet replaced with the identical original and to get the vinyl job 100% completed. The carpet was a Home Depot exclusive and Sentri handled everything with them. I will be using Sentri for a much bigger renovation I have coming up soon, because I know that they will make sure everything gets done right no matter what problems come up. The vinyl looks great too."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

If you don’t have a coping saw, you can use an angle grinder to cope crown molding, but it takes a little more precision. Place your molding down on your workbench, angle the grinder at a 45-degree angle toward the molding, and back cut the wood. You’ll need to carefully angle your grinder to accommodate the curves in the wood, and aim to remove around 1 inch from the profile of the molding.

Wooden soffits, when properly cared for, can last between 10 and 25 years, depending on the type of wood and the climate you live in. Certain wood types will last longer than others, and you might want to consider the cost of replacing soffits when you break down the total project cost. While an initially higher-priced material might seem counterintuitive, it can make more financial sense if you don’t plan on moving. 

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

General contractors use subcontractors to complete specific parts of a construction project. For example, a general contractor might have construction experience but need a subcontractor to install plumbing lines in a new home.
