> I have used this company for many various projects, including a complete re-construction of my house from bottom to top.  I couldn’t be happier!  I know quality work because in the past I have flipped 5 houses, always doing all the work myself. Never again will I do the work after finding these guys. Fantastic pricing and all with impeccable honesty. I have referred them to many of my friends and all of the referrals called me after the jobs were finished to tell me thank you for recommending such a great construction company.  In addition, please ask to see Jake’s portfolio of all the custom furniture he makes because they are really exquisite pieces of art.  If you call them, ask them for my (Dan’s) phone number and I will be happy to talk with you about my experiences with their extremely fair prices for top quality work.

  - Description: We built this is table out of lumber that we salvaged from a house that we worked on here in Carpinteria. During one of the big windstorms an oak was blown to one side and fell against the clients house, unfortunately taking out two of the arbors that were attached to the house. The timbers on the arbors were actual 10"x10" beams with 8"x8" purlins, they happen to be clear vertigal grain redwood. Since they were original to the house it dates the beams to at least 100 years old. We carpenters li…

## Community Q&A

**Q: Office nook wainscoting question** *(in Design Dilemma)*

We are installing beadboard on the wall in our "office nook" - a wall that is 10' long and open to the living area. We plan to put in 2-3 base cabinets along this wall to support a desk top of some kind. My question: do we install the beadboard first, or do we install the cabinets and put the beadboard around the cabinets? Why? 

Put another way, if we got cabinets with an open back, with option 1, you'd see the beadboard on the wall when you opened the cabinets. Option 2 would be bare wall. I'm not looking for preferences on aesthetics here, I'm looking for what is correct in order of operations for this type of installation. Thank you!!!

A: I would install the cabinets first and then take the bead board to them so that what ever your using for a counter top  material and what ever cap molding you are using on the bead board line up the way you want them to look. its easier to cut down bead board than to augment cabinets once there built.

**Q: CONCREATE LAMPS, VERY MODERN STYLE, PERFECT MATCH FOR ANY BUSINESS OR HOME** *(in Post to Followers)*

CONCREATE LAMPS, VERY MODERN STYLE, PERFECT MATCH FOR ANY BUSINESS OR HOME

A: oh wow, that's not bad!

**Q: Toe kick** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Should I have our contractor keep the toe kick or place the moulding flush all the way around the island?

A: I would either leave it the way it is, or if you were going to bring the toe kick, I would add a base board moulding to dress up the joint.

**Q: How do you store wine?** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Where do you keep your wine? Do you have a separate refrigerator for them? Do you have wine racks? Or, do you have your very own wine cellar?

Tell us how you store your wine in the comments and post photos too!

A: we don't store it we drink it....

**Q: Hardware throughout house** *(in Design Dilemma)*

I want to put new hinges and door handles in house.  Is it okay to mix metals as the fans, towel bars etc., are not going to be the same.  Example: I want black door hardware when the towel bars etc., are brushed nickle.

A: I don't see a problem with it, it happens all the time. its your house do what you want.

**Q: Real or faux wenge?** *(in Design Dilemma)*

I have fallen in love with the following wenge kitchen http://www.houzz.com/projects/7214/Wenge-and-White However all the wenge samples I'm getting are not as dark. Do you think this is another type of wood with a wenge stain? If so, do you know what it is. I appreciate your replies. Thanks!

A: If your planning on doing a European style kitchen like you have in the picture, I would go with a laminate version of wenge, it will be more consistent in color. if you are looking for more of a traditional cabinet style yes you would probably do well with using real wenge. but any qualified painting contractor should be able to glaze and stain to make it all look the way you want in that regard.
