"Raz and S&L Remodeling and Design were the best. My kitchen and bathroom room was a terrible mess. Professional, punctual and have reasonable pricing, and of course their work was great. I was quoted by 6 contractors before them but none felt like the right fit until this home remodeling contract came along. Finally, I am now able to have company over. The process and communication with project manager and Raz communicated well with me and my family and answered all questions and concerns. I told Raz that we are adding an extra room. So for the new year we'll have some great projects in the making. I'm excited. Thanks again SLR"

"It was a great pleasure working with Pouria and Juan. I hired them to help build a 400 sq. ft. deck, and they were able to finish it within a week at a very high quality. They were incredibly flexible with all of our requirements?don't hesitate to communicate with them if you need anything changed during construction! They are absolutely amazing and efficient. They even did some extra work around our house, which will really help us in the long run. Their pricing is very fair compared to many other groups, and I will definitely go to them the next time I need a project done!"

"Jonathan built a trellis in our backyard and was able to save the vine while also building a trellis that is sturdy and will be long lasting. He had great suggestions on how to build the trellis so it won't rot. His communication is great and the quality of his work is top notch. I appreciate the value of his work and wouldn't hesitate to hire him for other projects."

"STOP if you are wondering who to hire, think no further because Leonel is for you! Our project was to takeover the work of a previous contractor, Leonel stepped in and boy did he come through...taking on a project that was pulled apart by someone else is hard enough but taking on one such as the magnitude of ours and completing it early goes to show what an incredible craftsman Leonel is. He was very articulate in making sure he was on track and following the guidelines, he communicated daily with arrival times and any access or requirements he might need. The quality of his work is superior, everything looks wonderful and its all thanks to Leonel."

"I hired another contractor who made me a disaster for not following the plans and someone recommended me to Lerma's construction who reconstructed everything again fixing all the damages and finishing my project which was fascinated with the results, they are very professional in what they do, responsible and transparent throughout the process, I would not think about hiring this company again!"

"We received quotes from 3 different contractors. We chose GAXL because it's close to Newark and I like how Jose explains everything in detail. Originally we thought the remodeling would take 4 weeks but it took close 6 weeks. The whole project was great, the craftsmanship was superb. At one point, we found some tiles that are not very nice (from the manufacturer) and we asked them to redo the bathroom wall. They don't complain and understand our request. The workers are great, especially Marvin and this other guy (forgot his name). They WORK very very hard from 8a to 6p everyday. Jose is on time and is very prompt in returning calls or text. In fact he's the only contractor who's very prompt and I like that! On one of the walls they discovered a mold due to rain leaking and they're able to fix it in 4 days which is great. Jose and his son pickup the materials from the suppliers and drop them in our house. Overall, Jose and his men are courteous. I will definitely use GAXL for future remodeling."

"This was an usual project. It was redoing a mini bar. Hard to find a contractor that would do it or had the time. Homepro was great lead by project manager Shir Hadad. Jumped right in there and took it on and got the job done. Really appreciate their professionalism."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

The cost to convert a carport into a garage averages about $22,000, ranging from about $15,000 and $55,000. Additional cost factors to consider include size, time of year, and how much of the carport you can reuse. Other cost factors include the kinds and amounts of materials used, such as:

  • Add insulation: $1 per square foot

  • Add drywall: $1–$3 per square foot

  • Add window: $450–$2,000 per window

  • Add outlets: $75–$500

  • Add garage door: $250–$11,200

  • Enclose framing: $5–$13 per square foot

  • Replace roofing: $1,000–$2,000
