**★★★★★ — rlmbhess, Aug. 2015**

> A few years ago we hired Mac One Construction to do a total kitchen remodel.  I had an idea of what I wanted in my new kitchen and they worked with and gave me input on how it could be done.   I ended up with custom built cabinets with all the storage space that I had asked for.  I am happy with the granite counter tops and tile floor.   The kitchen was completed on time and within the budget that was agreed upon.  We were so happy with the quality of the work that we had them re-roof our house a year later.  We have also referred this company to two of our neighbors and a family member who are all happy with their work.

> We hired Mac One construction to do our kitchen remodel. They did an excellent job. They showed up on time every day.  If for any reason they were going to be late or needed to leave early, they would talk to us beforehand so we knew of their schedule. They also did not schedule any other jobs while our job was ongoing which was greatly appreciated. It was very nice knowing that they were going to stay on our job until it was done and we were happy with it.
> We had new kitchen cabinets put in, a new kitchen floor, new appliances, new counters. etc. Pretty much our entire kitchen was redone.  The walls and ceiling stayed in place, but pretty much everything else was redone.
> Mac One's quality of service is excellent. They've been working in the industry long enough that they know what issues might arise beforehand so they can anticipate and then change the plan accordingly.

**★★★★★ — cd\_store, Aug. 2015**

> JOB: partial finishing of a basement which included construction of 2 bedrooms and a bathroom.  this included planning, framing, electrical, plumbing, tile work, painting, etc.   excellent workmanship and provided sound advice on my different options.

**★★★★★ — jeanna\_r, Aug. 2015**

> I have used Mac One Construction for at least six jobs in the past ten years.  They are by far the best company I have ever used.  Always top-quality work and I won't use anyone else.  Clay can do anything!  Just some of the jobs that Mac One Construction has performed for me are:  wood floors in four rooms in my home, wood floors throughout my cabin, complete bathroom remodels, new doors, baseboards, crown molding, built custom cabinets to my specifications, tile and travertine flooring, new siding on our cabin, etc.  On one job, he even modified my existing trusses to put a new room above my garage and added floors in my attic with extensive shelving so I now have amazing storage space.  (He just finished my latest job this past June and we love everything!)  Very honest and very fair pricing, and always cleans up at the end of every work day.  Clay reshingled my daughter's home and even jackhammered up and fixed the concrete by our pool (the pool people wouldn't do it).  He has many contacts in various industries so he can be on top of just about anything that you would need him to do.  All of the finish work and painting they have done for me are also amazing.  No wonder his prior clients from California fly him there when they need some top-quality work done.  Highly, highly recommend!

> Clay Austin has done eight different projects for me over the years. His work is always of the highest quality. Clay has always been willing to spend time understanding what I want in a finished project and communicating with me what he can provide. He has a vast knowledge of construction techniques, materials and methods that is very beneficial when constructing a project that will look good and last for years.
> This has been the case with all the work that Clay has done for me. I highly recommend him.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Most durable hardwood finish?** *(in Flooring)*

Just had a new home built and to make a long story short, the hardwood floors have to be completely re-finished. We got a bad batch of poly and Sherwin Williams (Minwax) is covering the cost. We originally had 3 coats of water based poly. When they re-do the floors I am going to ask them to use their most durables finish. I'm just not sure what that is. Are there better coatings out there than the basic water based poly? Are there different levels of quality?

A: .Minwax owns Duraseal, Duraseal is easier to apply so we ususally use it unless we can't get it, I cannot say that (if done properly) there has been much difference other than the ease of applying duraseal (and you can thank the EPA for these finishes becoming harder to apply over the years...and more expensive). I'm 60, over the years  I really don't recall much of a difference other than that.  I did talk to their chemistry department years and years ago,..(to find out the difference between their duraseal vs. minwax), after that call I realized that  in the end, there was probably a minimal difference ..other than duraseal is much easier to use.   

As far as duraseal being a lot more expensive than minwax ...My cost on Duraseal is really not much more than minwax (actually, I haven't used minwax for a long time,..so I cannot say that is still the case today).   Waterborne finishes are quite expensive, and in my opinion,..not better in most cases.  They rarely yellow much, if at all.  The only times we have gone with waterborne is because the wood is bleached, whitewashed, or otherwise very light and we do not want to darken or amber it with an oil based finish.

If you really want to go with the best finish,. have them use a conversion varnish,..Sherwin Williams makes conversion varnish, but I highly doubt they make one suitable for floors. You will most probably have to go with &quot;Glitsa&quot; if you want conversion varnish.  If your flooring guy is not aware of Glitsa, he is NOT a seasoned professional. To me it smells a bit like lacquer. Conversion varnish is oil base,. and also has the property that it  does not yellow much over time.  It stays looking the same (more than other oil based finishes). If they use glitsa in your house, they will probably want you to to stay at your mother-in-laws for a day or two. So be forewarned.

**Q: denatured acohol/polyurethane** *(in Woodworking)*

Will denatured alcohol affect the oil based poly on my floors? I am trying to remove the shellac finish from a fireplace mantle (after having used a heat gun to remove layers of paint). I still have some latex paint on the wood next to the floors that needs to come off. I do not want to use the heat gun or strippers that will hurt the poly on the floors. We are intending to stain and use a satin poly on the mantle. Please also advise of possible &quot;potholes&quot; to watch out for. Thanks.

A: I normally don't comment, but read this a feel I must.  The majority of WATERBORNE finishes and denatured alcohol , shellac thinner, everclear, etc., DO NOT PLAY WELL TOGETHER. A way to test is to throw a &quot;soaked with denatured alcohol&quot; on a waterborne polyurethane floor.  UNFORTUNATELY,..it will probably melt itself into the floor. I wish it was different, but it's not. This is generally not true for waterborne epoxy finishes,. But is true for most single stage waterborne finishes. For oil based polyurethane, I don't ever recall having a problem using denatured alcohol or &quot;goof off&quot; from home depot...to remove latex paint spots.
