"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"
Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.
Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.
An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.
You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.
Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.
