"My elderly mom's 40+year old kitchen was in desperate need of repairs and a new look. The issue came to a head when the kitchen floor started to buckle, fortunately surfacing while I was visiting my mom. I live abroad so finding the right person who could both deal with the issues and guide my mom through the entire process was critical. After meeting Sobi, I felt much more comfortable leaving my mom with his careful and skilled hands in charge. Initially my mom agreed only to only repair the most needful but because Sobi made my mom feel so comfortable and was able to quickly gain her confidence (and mine) she decided it was time for the kitchen to be fully restored. Sobi helped in every aspect, from securing permits to going with my mom to make selections, to answering her repeat questions, all while also lifting her mood (despite all the disruptions that come with a full remodel)- he provided an end to end service par excellence. There was good transparency on all costs and communication was clear at every step. The kitchen looks beautiful and my mom is most satisfied. A needle in haystack experience : ) and shame I live abroad as I have a kitchen that could use his craftsmanship."

"We had a great experience using HomeAdvisor by Angi to find a contractor for our deck/porch project. The platform made it easy to compare professionals, and we were matched with someone who was punctual, skilled, and delivered high-quality work. The process from start to finish was smooth, and we’re very happy with the outcome. Highly recommend for anyone looking to take on a home improvement project with confidence!"

"Paul and Vicki with Cunningham Construction are miracle workers and true masters of their craft! We had previously used them for another renovation project in our East Bay home. The results were fantastic and we received countless compliments from real estate agents, neighbors and potential buyers when we put our home on the market. In fact, we actually sold our home much higher than even larger sized houses in our neighborhood. Throughout the renovation process, we were so impressed and spoiled with their expertise, professionalism, honesty, patience and amazing personalities, that we refused to work with any other contractor except Cunningham Construction for the renovation of our South Bay home. From ceiling to floor, Paul and Vicki fully constructed a new kitchen, living/dining room, bedroom and two bathrooms on the first floor of our house all from wood studs and a concrete foundation. Before our very eyes, the dark 1970's nightmare that used to be our bottom floor was transformed into a beautiful and efficient/functional space that will serve our guests and potential renters for years to come. At the end of each day (as customary for Paul/Vicki), we were provided a thorough update on everything completed that day as well as plans for the next day -- followed by a thorough clean-up of the area. We always felt completely informed throughout the entire process and, unlike other contractors, 100% of their time and attention was fully dedicated to us for the duration of our project. Paul/Vicki were able to address all of our questions and concerns and even help provide us many options to keep our costs as low as possible. Estimates were detailed and thorough, and every aspect of the job met and exceeded our specification demands. All work was performed to existing code and numerous permit inspections were performed throughout the job due to its size. Even the inspectors with the city commented on how flawless their work was, especially compared to most other jobs that they see. Therefore, we are extremely pleased and have full confidence and complete peace of mind in our final product. If you are looking to hire a contractor who you can trust to perform the BEST work possible for your biggest home/business investment(s), look no further. You absolutely won't regret hiring Cunningham Construction!"

Thanks to Bayside Builders- just what we were looking for!"

"I needed to have the opening for a new garage door reinforced to support the new door, and have the cracked and uneven concrete floor of my pre-1947 garage repaired. Sebastian confirmed our appointment by phone and arrived on time to take a look at the project. He understood what the garage door installers needed to have done in order to install the new door and suggested a couple of alternatives to complete the project. He clearly explained the work that needed to be done. Sebastian's estimate arrived when he said it would. He kept me updated during every step of the job. He and his crew cleaned up after themselves after each day's work. I was very impressed with Sebastian's professionalism and attention to detail and would definitely him again."

Woodworking FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, carpenters can fix squeaky floors. They have the expertise to identify the source of the squeak, whether it’s loose floorboards, subfloor issues, or joist problems. These experts also have the right tools and hands-on knowledge to secure the flooring and eliminate the noise, ensuring a long-lasting solution.

The boards between floor joists are called bridging or blocking boards. These are the shortest pieces of wood in the flooring system—with beams being the longest and joists sitting somewhere in the middle—and they serve to reinforce the joists and help provide even support to the flooring above. Bridging specifically helps cut down on uneven and creaking floors in your living area.

It is not recommended to cut or drill into LVL (laminated veneer lumber) beams. As major structural components of a home, their composite structure can be compromised by alterations, which can weaken them and lead to cracking over time. If you must make modifications to an LVL beam, it is crucial to consult a structural engineer or general contractor first. A professional can advise on whether it's safe and provide specifics on the appropriate bit size, depth, and directionality for any necessary drilling.

You don’t need a cutting board. In fact, cutting is the original purpose of butcher block countertops. That said, wood is porous and can harbor germs. You’ll need to clean your countertop thoroughly after use. Knives can also scratch the surface. This adds to the patina of the wood, but not everyone likes the look—in which case, you may want to use a cutting board.

While you can perform many routine home maintenance jobs yourself, it’s often a good idea to bring pros in for certain tasks. HVAC maintenance, fireplace and chimney inspections, foundation repairs, and roof inspections and repairs should be handled by professionals who know what to look for and can safely perform repairs. You may also find it helpful to hire a local house cleaning service to help with deep cleaning.
