"If you are looking for a company to build a deck for you, there really is no other choice than this one! I had never interacted with Miller Decking prior to hiring him to extend, cover and create our new deck for us. Itâ s roughly 1000 sqft. From day one, his attention to detail and his drive to build me the best quality deck possible never diminished. His ability to take our ideas and turn them into reality is second to none. My wife and I had a few â changesâ we thought of mid project and Colton acted as though it was no big deal. He didnâ t miss a beat and never once told me â I donâ t think that will workâ or â I canâ t do thatâ . He makes things happen. I truly believe that he enjoys what he does and it shows in the craftsmanship of his completed projects. Iâ ve had my deck for many months now, and I have so many compliments on how appealing it makes my house. The space is now much more usable and more importantly, safer for my toddler. If you are looking for a company to complete a project for you and you want it done fast and cheapâ ¦donâ t hire Miller Decking. If you want your project to be completed with attention to detail, be built with quality craftsmanship, and by someone that cares about your level of happiness with the finished project, hire Miller Decking. You wonâ t regret it."

"Duke is the man! Hired him to do a few things around our new house, and his services did not disappoint. He's an absolutely genuine guy, and takes pride in his work. He's honest, and sticks to the job until it's complete. He's also very creative. One of the projects we had him do was putting a cap on our chimney. It was no easy task with lots of obstacles to overcome to get the job done. His inventiveness shined through, and he figured out the best, and most affordable way to get it done. Thanks for all you've done for us, Duke!"

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.

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.

Before hiring a carpenter, the most important thing is to make sure they are properly qualified and insured for the job. It’s more than reasonable to ask your prospective carpenter for customer references, as well as about their licensing and insurance. You should also consider choosing a carpenter that specializes in your specific project area to ensure high-quality results. 

Yes, Corian® and other solid surface materials can be cut with standard woodworking tools, such as a circular saw or a jigsaw. However, it is crucial to use the correct type of blade to avoid damaging the material.

For a circular saw, a tungsten carbide-tipped blade is required; a triple chip grind blade is highly recommended. For a jigsaw, you should use a fine-tooth down-cutting blade. Do not use blades designed for cutting wood, as they can cause microfractures that weaken the edges of the countertop. A diamond blade is also unnecessary, as those are designed for harder materials like natural stone, which Corian is not.

After cutting, the edge will be rough. It is essential to sand and smooth the cut edge to prevent microfractures, which can eventually compromise the integrity of the countertop.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry.
