My name is Darren Maynes, founder and owner of Alternate Route Construction. We are located in Smyrna, Delaware. We specialize in finish carpentry and woodworking; such as Crown moulding, Wainscoting, Coffered ceilings, Accent walls, Ship lap, Panel moulding, Custom woodworking, and Historic renovations; However, we cover all phases of construction; including handyman services, tile, drywall, painting, plumbing, kitchens, bathrooms, and more.
"Darren and his team installed new, super-sturdy and beautiful handrails on a set of stairs at my father's home. Darren was friendly and helpful throughout the process, and eager to brainstorm to give us what we needed. It was a relatively small job, but Darren worked carefully and conscientiously, and he explained everything thoroughly to my father. We love the new rails and would hire him again in a second."

"Mr. Mike is truly an honest and very admirable handy man. He is true to his word and explains to you everything he is doing on your home remodel project. He listens to you about everything you want in your remodel plans. I was very nervous to find someone to help me redo my front main bathroom again after the first contractor never showed back up to finish the job. Mr. Mike showed up on time. He looked at my floor and looked at my bathroom. He immediately knew I had a water leak. The tile grout was all cracking on the bathroom floor and the bathroom had a terrible smell like old wet rotted wood. Mr. Mike gutted the bathroom again told me there was no rubber liner used for the shower and I had black mold. I was so upset, but Mr. Mike was so nice and calm which made me feel better. He basically rebuilt my entire bathroom. It only took him 5 days. He also found electrical wires by my water lines!! I am over the moon happy about my new bathroom and beautiful floors throughout my whole house. He also installed new interior doors. I loved the guys work and honesty so much that I redid another bathroom in my back bedroom. Mr. Mike is a handy man keeper!"

"After receiving a quote including materials except for the paint. I had asked Ashley to include the drywall since I couldn’t buy it or get it home. I paid the deposit and Ashley called to arrange time to do the work. She said it would be painting only. I told her again that the drywall needs replacing and she hung up and talked to Vince. She called back and said the quote included “mudding and painting.” I asked how they planned to “mud” crumbling drywall. She said they would just mud over the damages. I asked for my deposit back so I could find a reputable company."

Built-in cabinets can enhance property value by combining practical storage with architectural appeal. These permanent fixtures often appeal to potential buyers, particularly when crafted from quality materials and designed thoughtfully. The value increase varies depending on construction quality, material selection, and how well the design complements the home's overall aesthetic. Well-executed built-ins can make spaces more marketable and potentially increase sale prices.
Prefabricated cabinets cost significantly less than custom-built options. Stock cabinets offer standardized sizes and features at more affordable prices, while custom work requires skilled craftsmanship and made-to-order materials. However, custom cabinets provide a perfect fit for unusual spaces and precise style matching. The decision often depends on budget constraints, space requirements, and whether standard sizes adequately meet your needs.
Installation timelines vary considerably based on project complexity. Simple bookcase installations require only a few days, while elaborate entertainment centers or whole-room systems can extend to several weeks. The process includes initial design, fabrication, and on-site installation phases. Material availability, design revisions, and existing structural conditions can all affect completion times. Most medium-sized projects take approximately one to two weeks from start to finish.
Medium-density fiberboard (MDF) provides the best balance between affordability and performance for painted cabinets. This engineered material offers smooth surfaces ideal for paint finishes at lower costs than solid wood. For stained applications, less expensive hardwoods like poplar or pine provide reasonable durability with more economical pricing. The most cost-effective choice depends on your specific application, finish preferences, and expected lifespan requirements.
Most straightforward cabinet installations don't require permits. However, if your project involves structural modifications, electrical work for integrated lighting, or changes to load-bearing elements, permits may be necessary. Requirements vary by municipality, so checking with local building authorities before beginning is advisable. Professional installers can guide you through permit requirements when needed.
