"Hired Lucky’s Concrete for my sidewalk and they did such a spectacular job! They are very professional! I will definitely recommend them in the future. The work was done promptly, thoroughly, and the clean up was excellent."
"We asked Eddie and his assistant, Dylan, to arrive early in the morning. They arrived at 5 a.m. and it was perfect for our work schedule. They were professional, friendly and neat and orderly. All the work was finished before noon, which included two coats of paint. They did a great job and gave me all the leftover paint for my walls and trim. I would hire this company again and, in fact, have asked for a fee quote to have them paint my kitchen cabinets. Very professional company."
"Steven did an amazing job on my yard. He went above & beyond to make sure everything was done right. Very professional & a hard worker. Came out when I needed him to & did everything in a timely manner. I will definitely be using his services regularly!"
"Rodrigo and his crew did an amazing job and even finished earlier than expected. They were very courteous, prompt, and professional. Great communication and the electronic payment transaction was very easy."
"Ricardo Lizardi - 10 stars. He called within 10 min. of my ad and was at the job site to assess and give an estimate within 2 hours. Price was very fair for all the painting they did. Nice job. Even repainted the bathroom semi gloss, that had been mistakenly painted with latex by previous painter just days before. I was fortunate to be able to jump into an immediate opening to get new paint in my living, dining, 2nd bdrm, hall and 2 bathrooms in 2 days. I highly recommend Ricardo who is an experienced journeyman of construction and other aspects of home building & design. I will be hiring him again to replace countertops and to open up my Arizona Room with a whole new design. Thank you Ricardo, and Andy. I'm super satisfied. Regards, D.Peters"
To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.
Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.
Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.
Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.
Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.
Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.
Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.
