"I worked with this company 30 years ago, when they first started up.. They impressed me then. I had a deck added and a hit tub hooked up AND the garage side doubled. I moved and used a very local company to add a small addition to this house and there were problems! So when it came time to add a large addition I sought out the prior company I used, Add A Deck. This company is every bit as good as before. Better, with years of all sorts of building experience under their belt. The leadership and the workers did a beautiful job. This job was complex and took 5 months to complete. I added a half bath, laundry room, screen porch, a hallway to connect the garage, pocket doors, skylight, walkout bay type window with a storage seat and doubled the size of the kitchen. I was here all day, every day during that time. They added plumbing, a plumber no, rerouted and added wiring and tied it into the whole house generator. They installed things I already had on hand for the addition. One of the business owners was on site nearly every day. All text messages and emails were answered quickly. I had no problems during the construction and none in this following year.. They listened and made all requested changes and adjustments with ease. The company name is less descriptive than their capabilities! Thank you Add A Deck. I love the addition and visitors are impressed and inspired. Itâ s some of the best money I ever spent! ð Carol"

"The Thermal Home Exterior's friendly and professional crew arrived as scheduled and the roofing job was completed like a well oiled machine. The entire job was completed within 7 hours. The service provided was fast and very efficient. The roof looks great and carries the GAF liftetime warranty. I would certainly recommend this company."

I'm soooooo happy with my home now!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

While the Arts and Crafts movement inspired many architectural elements, the primary styles from the time include Craftsman, Tudor Revivals, bungalows, and Mission homes. You'll see elements of these styles in homes, churches, museums, and schools—particularly Country Day schools from the era.

Rustic and modern farmhouse styles are currently the most popular. These include rustic and antique furniture, muted colors, clean lines, eclectic decor, and natural materials. Some other popular farmhouse styles include the following:

  • Coastal farmhouse: Creates a lighter, airier feel with soft colors and blue palettes, along with gold

  • Colonial farmhouse: Focuses on real antique furniture and decor

  • French farmhouse: Leans on French country architecture and design by including marble and lighter-colored metals, like zinc

  • Industrial farmhouse: Includes thick, chunky furniture and dark metals

  • Scandinavian farmhouse: Usually includes lighter wood colors and more refined furniture

If you don’t have a power saw with a blade where you can adjust the angle, you could use a miter box and hand saw to make the cuts. The miter box contains wide slots to support the piece of baseboard and other narrow slots to accommodate the blade of the hand saw. However, it’s tough to make non-standard cuts beyond 30 or 45 degrees when using a miter box.

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.
