"Good communication. Excellent work. They rebuilt a patio cover that was deteriorating and then painted it. They arrived on time and cleaned up the area at the end of arch day. Very happy with their work."

"Excellent. David and his team worked with me throughout the entire process. A received a prompt call from David after my initial inquiry. He answered all my questions and worked with me through the entire process (even when I had changes.) He was prompt and on-time every day and was even ahead of schedule with my specific time-frame for a big deck. He's a hard worker with attention to detail and exceeded my expectations. From my experience and interactions, he has a lot of integrity. David was accommodating through some of my changes mid-stream and was a pleasure to work with. After reading reviews from others, I can say that I was not disappointed. I would not hesitate to hire Fiber-Coat Deck Co. again for my next project and would recommend them to my friends. Thank you, David. A job well done. The deck looks awesome Work done: remove asphalt shingles, clean up and secure existing nails, lay down and screw in T&G plywood, install multi-layer deck coating (metal lathe, concrete overlay, fiberglass coating, fiberglass sheets, resin, texture, final deck coating/color)."

"We decided to replace the old original balcony off of one of our bedrooms. It was no longer safe and a definite eyesore on the front of our home! I put a request for quotes for our project onto Angi's. Almost immediately, I received a response from Ramos Construction. I set up an appointment with Avram to come and give us a quote. We intended to have at least three to four contractors give us a quote on the balcony rebuild. Avram and his son arrived on time, inspected the old balcony and explained his findings in detail. As we suspected, the old balcony was no longer safe. Avram gave us a couple options and his recommendations. We decided that the option that worked best for us was to demolish the old balcony and build a new balcony. Avram was so knowledgeable and so informative. He was able to show us pictures of other balconies that he had built so that we could understand more fully what he was recommending. It was quite apparent that he was an expert on balconies. He took the time to explain everything completely to us and answer all their questions. The quote he gave us was less than we were expecting and he gave a very reasonable time frame. We were so impressed with his knowledge and his professionalism, that we decided to go ahead and hire him. We saw no need to have any other contractors come give us a quote. Avram was able to start the demolition of the old balcony 2 weeks later. He explained that he does one project at a time and would never leave the current project to start work on another. We like that type of professionalism and we're confident that we would receive that same dedication to our project. We were amazed at how quickly he was able to demolish the old balcony and begin prep on the new one. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate so there was one day he wasn't able to do much work due to rain. He used that day to pick up extra flooring supplies he would need, due to our asking that the balcony be extended. Even so, he and his sons were able to not only demolish and build a new balcony, but also do some other work for us, all in four days! Incredible!! Our new balcony is not only safe, it is beautiful and definitely adds curb appeal to our home. If you are interested in repairing or rebuilding a deck or balcony, I highly recommend Avram and his sons. They are friendly, informative, professional and fabulous contractors. Avram has been in the business for many years and truly knows what he is doing. He'll take the time to explain and listen to your concerns. Also, he has old fashioned work ethics that you don't always find in today's world."

"Home Care and Repair’s Jose Pajares did an excellent job in completing the design from a sketch and building my Custom Intertainment Cabinet. The Cabinet was exactly what I wanted and fit perfectly. His crew installed and stained the unit without any problems. I’m very happy with the completed job. I recommend using Home Care and Repair for any Cabinet projects."

"I was very happy with the assembly and the little jobs he did in my daughter in laws house. I live in Nevada and bought my son and daughter in law who live in California an organizing system for their garage. I wanted it put together for them and secured to the wall. Axis was so easy to hire and work with. He showed up on time, was reasonably priced. My kids were very happy! I am saving his contact number!"

"I hired this company to repair structural damage to the frame of a loveseat and they did excellent work from the pickup all the way through the delivery. The experience is everything that someone should want and expect from a high quality firm. It was a pleasurable experience."

"We hired Ace Restoration and Construction Inc to do our kitchen remodel. My kitchen was so outdated. I had an idea of what I wanted but was also unsure of some of the things needing to be done. They helped us through the whole process. It was so fun to design it together and then watch it all come to life! If you?re going to do work on your house I for sure would recommend Ace Restoration and Construction!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

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.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.
