"Wonderful communication, on time and prepared. He was able to fix several important items that no one else wanted to mess with, built and installed a terrific closet system. He is SMART and PRACTICAL! He also is not afraid to tell you if a job is not within his scope of work. I am so grateful to have a place to hang my clothes, and a front door that no longer has a 12” broken frame letting all the cold air in. I am very happy and highly recommend Billy."

"Ronnie, the owner, was phenomenal to work with. We hired him to repair my mother in laws home. She had purchased the home with a clear inspection to only find it had a terrible flooding situation with normal rain into the garage. We called Ronnie on recommendation and he was on site very soon with a no pressure evaluation and then developed an up front estimate so there would be no surprise. He saw a number of things that were not done correctly and executed the repair work not only timely but efficiently. The best part is that he jumps in and does some of the work himself along with his employees so he is hands on throughout the entire project. He was very cautious at each stage to be sure things were going appropriately. I would highly recommend him for any construction or renovation job. He communicates in a timely manner as well which I found difficult in general with other contractor relationships. 5/5 stars!"

"I have one side of my house that has been prone to cracking since I became homeowner 12 1/2 years ago. I have had the cracks repaired to varying degrees only to return. I saw a neighbor that hired South Coast Plastering and Stucco and they told me they were very satisfied. William Stewart came to my home while working on the neighbor's and measured. He promptly quoted the work with a military discout. He included a few other items I requested in the quote. He seemed to cover a range of skillsets which I appreciated. He was the first contractor to suggest adding expansion joints every 12 feet to restrict future cracking. I had enough information from him to realize he was honest and experienced. I did not get the work done when I originally wanted to start but we worked out a start date in the spring. I was surprised at how many in the crew showed up to get the job started. Building the scaffolding, pressure washing etc. The crew was very courteous and careful with keeping the job site clean. The job was done in three days. Rather impressive for an 80x14 wall with several other smaller jobs. William came back to my home a couple weeks later to inspect the job (and give me a t-shirt!). He noticed some areas that need to be retouched, including some cracks near my front door I did not know I had. He said he would send someone back in the next week to correct the small punch list of items and fix the small cracks on the other side of my house. I have nothing but good things to say about William Stewart and Ashley Heaton. You can trust they will get the job done correctly and do everything they can to satisfy you."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.
