"Out of the long list of companies here on Home Advisor Greg was the only person who answered my call. All others hid from the heat and refused the job. Greg was the most professional out of the bunch and he had no problem helping me get the framing I needed done in my attic. He was willing to go up there in the blistering heat of the Palm Springs Summer when no one else would and he was more than happy to accomodate. His work was professional and beautifully done. He and his worker had masks on and were safe and clean. I can say that I am confident that any jobs that come up in the future I will look no further than Greg Patterson Construction."

"So Cal Builders & Design Inc made the entire building process stress-free. They were transparent with costs, delivered work on time, and ensured every design detail was perfect. I couldn’t be happier with the final results."
Completely renovating both the guest and master bathrooms. In the master bathroom, we're installing a spacious walk-in shower featuring dual black-finished shower heads, elegant floating benches, and marble wall tiles. Meanwhile, the guest bathroom will have a sleek built-in tub and stylish hexagon tiles.
This project involved adding a new master bathroom to the existing house. The shower features sleek white subway tiles complemented by striking black fixtures and shower door hardware. The bathroom floor is adorned with elegant white marble tiles, providing a seamless and luxurious finish. A white shaker vanity topped with a white marble countertop completes the space, creating a clean and sophisticated look.

"Douglas provided excellent services; prompt arrival post initial phone contact within the hour to perform walk throughout property. Professional, informed me of every step in work required and supplies needed for completion of projects as I needed to schedule around my elderly sister's medical problems. His craftsmanship and insight to detail are highly appreciated. Work areas were always left clean and tidy. Reasonable prices for all services provided; he is definitely my first choice for future projects. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a reliable, trustworthy handyman."

"KN Remodeling redid my floors, removed a wall and got my JADU permitted, plus many more random fixes. Whatever project I threw at Nathan and his team he got done. They were great and I would use them again."

"I waited a long time to meet a contractor like mall back in the desert! Having had no luck finding a reputable contractor. I finally met Wade and his team and they turned my vision into reality! From start to finish perfection! Communication execution, transparency, Malbec Builders should be your next call!"

"Jacob quickly responded to my request. He came to look at the job that day. From his first visit and throughout the project he kept in touch. They removed the old cedar siding, repaired the framing and installed new cedar siding. Then they replaced the storm door. It was nice to have a team of men come to do the work. Jacob and Mario are courteous and knowledgeable and work well together. My wall and new door look great. I am very pleased with the quality of the work. I am looking forward to having them do more repairs."

"I had a couple of projects that needed to be done (stucco around the spa and enclose opening to primary bathroom). Jose and his crew did the work and I couldn't be more pleased. His communication and tardiness were amazing. The quote I received was surprisingly lower than what I was expecting. The quality of work that was done was impeccable. It looks like it has always been that way. Each crew member who came in and did their part, you could tell took pride in their specialty. They were on time and respectful of me and my place. When each was done, they made sure that everything was left in the manner they found it. I would definitely recommend this company."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

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.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.
