"Rogelio was a fantastic contractor to work with when creating a balcony railing. He responded promptly to every question, arrived exactly when he said he would and completed the project in 1/2 a day as planned. I would highly recommend him again for any stair or railing projects."

Customers say: Quick response

"it was not a remodel, but there was no other option for me to choose. The work that was done was miscellaneous in nature. It was prep work for a listing to be put on the market for sale post a tenant move out. So painting, microwave put in fixtures of door handles face plates, just a checklist of a number of items. It was wonderful working with Mike. He was kind he was polite. He was on time gave an estimate stay to it. It was very detailed when certain things came up certain plumbing issues sent me pictures and gave me descriptive information. Will definitely be working with him again and a very enjoyable experience."

"Brett installed a fireplace mantle for me and I asked him about a bigger project. He was so great to work with! I came in below budget and he was excellent at being creative to make my vision come to life! His side kick, Ryan is a fantastic woodworker! Very precise and skilled. I look forward to working with the two of them for an even bigger project. Before and after creating my library wall and mud room wall. We still need to install the gliding ladder but Brett will come back to help me with that."

"Neal and Ryan are true professionals. They made custom media cabinets to my precise specifications. They also matched upper cabinets exactly ( style and stain) to my lower cabinets in other areas. Additionally, they installed crown molding in three rooms. If you are unsure of something, they also give great design advice. They were always on time and cleaned up when they left. I can't say enough about them."

Woodworking FAQs, answered by experts

Many modern homes have soffits, but older ones don’t, and you may be wondering why. Older homes have eaves that extend further beyond the home and help to circulate air, negating the need for a soffit. This style of building has faded away, therefore, modern homes need separate soffit installation. Modern soffits are more efficient than this older style and require less material to construct, saving homeowners money.

It is common for a contractor to ask for a down payment before starting a project, especially for jobs that require purchasing materials and equipment or hiring a crew. The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost. While a request for up to 50% is not unusual, a contractor should not ask for more than that, and you should never pay for a project in full before the work has begun. To protect yourself, always discuss payment terms before starting and have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.

Most contractors do not charge for meetings, but it can depend on the project, mainly if it includes detailed consultations or project planning. For general estimates, homeowners shouldn't expect to be charged. Always ask up front about meeting fees to avoid surprises and ensure you know what’s included in the process.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

A contract should outline the scope of work, timelines, costs, payment schedule, and materials used for clarity and protection.
