"Planet Builders did a great job on our deck. We would highly recommend them. We wanted to replace our surface deck boards with artificial decking. Planet Builders did the job in about ten days and did a beautiful job."

"Vasa construction called me right away off Angie’s list and came out and offered a competitive quote the same day. I hired them and they started working 2 days later. They were very professional and kept my home clean throughout the whole process. I will use them again."

"Decorative beam repairs. Mike and his crew did a fabulous job. Mike came up with a creative idea that ended up looking better than I anticipated. The crew was on time, hardworking, friendly and except for rain delays, pretty much completed the job on schedule. If you have a construction project and you are looking for a company with honesty, integrity and takes pride in the work they do. Look no further and give Exodus a call."

"Randy and Amber did a wonderful job on my project - new carpeting in the Master Bdrm., paint kitchen cabinets and add hardware, remove carpet from two rooms, add new wood, refinish existing wood to new wood and dye it all to a warm dark tone. Lots of work and they did a great job. It was really great to have ONE contractor that could do all the work that was needed. The pricing was very reasonable and they were always cheerful and open to my questions. I would highly recommend them. Nice team!"

"ROOF4LIFE did an amazing job on our deck and fence projects. They provided ideas and suggestions that we hadn’t even considered, and delivered more than we expected. Projects were completed based on our time frame, and had all wrapped up before we expected. The carpenters they employ are outstanding, willing to listen to our needs, and over-delivered. I would not hesitate to call them for future projects."

"These guys are the best! Hard workers and quality work. The fence looks great and I am more than happy with the work that was completed. I asked them to clean up and they took care of it with no issues. They got the whole job done in 1 day. I have more fence in the back that needs to get replaced and I will call them later in the year to replace them for me."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

While carpenters and woodworkers perform similar tasks, their focus differs. A carpenter is typically responsible for the structural woodwork involved in construction, such as framing, installing sheathing, hanging kitchen cabinets, and installing trusses. In contrast, a woodworker handles more intricate and custom projects, like building custom furniture, installing wainscoting, and creating detailed interior trim and moldings. Based on these definitions, many woodworkers can perform the tasks of a carpenter, but it's always best to discuss your specific project with a professional to ensure they have the necessary skills.

While you can perform many routine home maintenance jobs yourself, it’s often a good idea to bring pros in for certain tasks. HVAC maintenance, fireplace and chimney inspections, foundation repairs, and roof inspections and repairs should be handled by professionals who know what to look for and can safely perform repairs. You may also find it helpful to hire a local house cleaning service to help with deep cleaning.

Many modern homes have soffits, but older ones don’t, and you may be wondering why. Older homes have eaves that extend further beyond the home and help to circulate air, negating the need for a soffit. This style of building has faded away, therefore, modern homes need separate soffit installation. Modern soffits are more efficient than this older style and require less material to construct, saving homeowners money.

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.
