I have been recommending them to others. Yes, Wesley is a Pilar of the company and will go out of his way to please the customer."

"David was genuinely nice and extremely professional. I am always hesitant when hiring someone because you want to be sure they are trustworthy and reliable. David was that and beyond. He was very helpful with all my questions. He put together my dining room furniture as well as my island stool chairs. Not only was he great at putting everything together, he offered some valuable advice and answered all my questions. I would hire David and his team anytime and will definitely refer him to my friends and family. It is so difficult to let someone in your home much less find someone reasonable. With David he is not going to nickel and dime you and honestly his prices were just right for my budget. I also would not refer someone to my family and friends without knowing for sure they were honest and reliable. Thank you I do not always write reviews unless someone is exceptional and David was. And if you are wondering. no, I was not paid to submit this review nor did I know David before I hired him so please consider my honest review based on how my experience was with the repairs he completed at my home."

"Juliano was very responsive and receptive of ideas I had for the project. The work done turned out the way I wanted and was able to do it within my price range. The only thing I would say needs improvement is the cleanup afterwards. There was more saw dust leftover than I anticipated. Regardless, I would recommend and would hire again for further projects."

"Timber did a good job painting the areas requested and was very professional in his work ethic and skill. He also did small repairs to hallway wall. Scheduling was a bit sketchy, but he was very eager to please. Rating would have been higher but I saw the same deal from the company advertised on AL for approx. $100 lower in price shortly after my purchase, I was not pleased knowing others had received a better deal than I had. I'm not sure whether this was an Angie's List scheme or something agreed to by the business. Either way, I'm a bit skeptical to hire through Angie's List after this occurred. The business owner told me that he had not agreed with AL to the lesser advertised price. So all in all, pleased with the work completed, but not at all with the advertising."

"The carpenter that did the job (Adam) was amazing. He had to expand the space for one window, narrow the space for another, and repair much cedar siding that had rotted away due to water damage. He also reshaped my patio door so it would close and lock more easily. He is a very talented carpenter and I have no qualms about highly recommending him."

FAQs for major home repair (general contractor) projects in New Canaan, CT

Medium-density fiberboard performs well in kitchen cabinet applications when properly finished and protected. The material offers excellent dimensional stability, maintaining its shape better than solid wood when exposed to temperature and humidity fluctuations. A quality sealer or laminate covering provides essential protection against moisture exposure. Many commercial cabinet manufacturers regularly use MDF for cabinet doors and components due to its smooth finish and painting properties. With proper installation and maintenance, MDF cabinets can provide years of reliable service in kitchen environments.

Medium-density fiberboard weighs considerably more than plywood of equivalent thickness due to its dense, uniform composition. This additional weight requires stronger mounting hardware and support structures, particularly for shelving or wall-mounted applications. The heavier nature of MDF can complicate handling during installation, often requiring additional assistance for larger panels. For weight-sensitive applications, consider ultralight MDF varieties that maintain structural integrity while reducing overall mass.

Medium-density fiberboard can function in bathroom environments when properly selected and protected. For bathroom applications, moisture-resistant MDF varieties offer enhanced protection against humidity and occasional water exposure. All exposed edges and surfaces require thorough sealing with appropriate primers and waterproof finishes. Areas with direct water contact need additional protection through laminate or specialized waterproof coatings. Proper bathroom ventilation helps extend the lifespan of MDF installations by reducing ambient moisture levels.

Medium-density fiberboard production utilizes wood byproducts and manufacturing waste, reducing demand for virgin timber. Traditional MDF manufacturing incorporates formaldehyde-based adhesives that can release emissions over time. Many manufacturers now offer formaldehyde-free or reduced-emission options for health-conscious consumers. The material's consistent quality and efficient manufacturing process result in minimal waste during production. When selecting MDF, look for products with environmental certifications that verify sustainable manufacturing practices and acceptable emission levels.
