My name is Josh, owner of Joshua's Painting Service. I have been painting for the majority of my life, with my dad as a kid until now. I'm blessed to be able to say I truly love what I do. I enjoy being a painting contractor. Whether you are an excited homeowner wanting to make their home new again, a realtor looking to make a client happier or a property manager sprucing up an old building. No matter the job, big or small, I am there every step of the way with my employees throughout the process. Whether I am giving free estimates, suggestions on colors, doing the drywall and stucco repairs or replacing dry rotted boards I AM there. Every day, every step of the way. I take great pride in all that I do but especially in my prep work. Without good prep work the finished product won't hold up. But of course my favorite part has to be the finished product, seeing a home or business transform into somebody's dream is always the best! My promise to you, my prospective customer, is to always be there to answer my phone, be on time, and do exactly what I said I would do for the price I said I would do it for. I know if I do these few things I will always be in business, always be busy and always have satisfied customers.

"It was a great experience all around. Josh is that rare combination of a light-hearted fun personality and a seriously no-nonsense "get'er done" attitude that carried over into his whole crew. They arrived on time with a mission-oriented attitude and just dug into their work right away with the precision and competence of a group who have become a well-oiled machine over what seemed to be years. Everything they did was beyond my level of satisfaction. I would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone who wanted a superlative painting result with good people/good humor and a commitment to excellence. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone who wanted a great result at a very reasonable price."

I am a contractor of over 20 years experience. I have experience in most instruction trades. I am a second generation contractor. I am a general contractor and a licensed electrician.

"They did a superb job. It took them much longer than they had anticipated and may have been a loss leader for them since we got a great Angie's List deal on the job. Extremely professional and high level of attention to detail (my wife would know; she's an architect and has a critical eye for work of contractors). Would not hesitate to work with again."

"Michael is awesome, i needed some work done to my moms house and needed it done asap which he was able to do, hes straight up with u doesn't try and feed u a bunch of bullshit or try and tell u u need more work done just to get more money out of u, he told me he would beat anyone elses price and he beat the lowest quote i got by about half, he's honest, he's trustworthy, and very punctual, and he cleans up after himself. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone else that needed some work, actually I've already hired him to do another project for me, and to top it all off he's a licensed contractor which is always a plus when getting any work done on your house. If there is anything else I didn't include that anyone else might be wondering about then that as well would be a 5? rating.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

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.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

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.
