"i desperately needed gutter cleaning the day before a major storm. I spoke with Dave initially and he worked with me to make it possible and sent out his crew by the afternoon to my house. His crew was so professional and worked very hard to make sure that all the work was done for me and they cleaned up and got rid of all the mess. This company could not have been nicer and helpful. I highly recommend them and am thankful that I found their business."

"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 great job on our house. We had the initial obstacle of the first contractor we hired being unable to complete the job. This is how we came across Timber. He picked up where the other company left off, repairing unsatisfactory work done by the first contractor. His workmanship showed when he had to come up with some creative solutions using the materials available to him. He was a great communicator and completed the job to our satisfaction, within the timeframe we agreed upon, and for a very fair price."

I recommend them to everyone I know!!!"

"Quite honestly, I could not be happier! I hired LCA to replace the roof and the work they have done is beautiful and fairly priced. They were here every day they said they would be, on time, and worked hard. Also, Carlos' communication has been terrific. He kept me updated all along the way. On top of all that (which is a lot), they are the most kind, most professional men I've ever hired. I was home alone most days while they were here and from the moment I met them I felt absolutely 100% comfortable. I cannot recommend them more highly!"

"Jermaine C Home Improvement LLC did an excellent job on a very long list of repairs and improvements including replacing damaged drywall ceilings, installing a butcher block countertop, rebuilding the side of a porch due to rotted wood, installing a new floor and trim. Overall I found the company to be reliable, honest, skilled at all aspects of home improvements, goes above and beyond and the prices very reasonable compared to other handyman companies I called. I highly recommend Jermaine C Home Improvement LLC, he definitely gets it right the first time."

"The work was generally done well and on time, and for a fair price. Occasionally Joe and his crew seemed rushed -- and possibly Joe might be a bit overbooked -- but Joe and his subcontractors made certain all the work got done as close to the agreed upon time as possible. We would recommend them again."

"This is probably the very best company we have ever worked with when renovating things in our home. We completely remodeled our master bathroom to make it user-friendly as we age. Took out a tub, put in a walk -in shower, new flooring, lights, countertop, etc. From start to finish, the entire Solimine team was knowledgeable, prompt, accurate, timely, honest and super fun to work with. The men on our job worked so hard, never taking breaks and showed up every day, from day one. I cannot recommend them highly enough. With this company, home renovation can really be a fun and relatively easy experience!"

FAQs for major home repair (general contractor) projects in Newtown, 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.
