Whatever your home needs, I’m the man to help you see it done. If you own a home you've probably encountered a really thorny puzzle. There are contractors. They’re just the right people for medium to large home projects employing one to many highly skilled workers. For this man’s expertise you’ll pay top dollar. On the other hand there are day workers you can pick up outside of Home Depot. These folks are just perfect for unskilled small home projects. They’re men who’ll work very hard, but who have limited skills and little training. Thankfully they’re inexpensive. Their problem is you can’t really expect more than general yard and home cleanup from them. Additional DBAs - B D Home Improvements, The Small Job Guru.

"Bruce responded quickly to our request for quote, went over details of job, estimated the cost and gave us guidance on prep for the job. He called again to confirm the appointment, and was on time. He was very organized in setting up for the job. He was meticulous but fast in his work - the joins in the siding were perfect. Overall, very professional, easy to work with, and we would recommend Bruce."

"When looking for a custom home builder in the Redding area I came across Hughes Construction. The one thing that made me call him was other reviews on how well Shane communicates. I can say that I have had a great experience with Shane and that of all the subs that I have contacted for my custom home Shane was the best communicator of them all. It’s nice to have a contractor that wants your business enough that they keep you up to date with where they are in the bidding process. If anyone reading this is having problems staying in the loop with their contractor I suggest you call Hughes construction. You won’t be disappointed."

"Slow. I was quoted a price apparently that didn’t include materials. He showed up unprepared to do the work and had to get materials. That took hours when he said 30 minutes. The guy is scatter brained."

Owned and operated, local contractor that specializes in electrical, plumbing, windows, doors, carpentry, flooring, custom closets, patio covers, remodels and more! I have been working in the construction industry for over 20 years. We work closely with our customers to provide excellent service. What can we build for you today?

"Amazingly well, infinity construction took on the challenge of building our custom home over the footprint of a residence totally destroyed by fire. The general contractors attention to detail, quality and sticking to build schedules went far beyond what we expected. Our build was due to a fire loss and as such required close coordination between insurance adjusters and the general contractor. Infinity construction established a great repor with the adjusters and the process went very smoothly. Luck was on our side by picking Infinity construction to build our new home, we could not be happier with the outcome. Honesty, commitment, and a genuine desire to achieve excellence allows us without hesitation to recommend infinity construction as your next general contractor. Not to mention our home was completed under budget. Not an easy task in these days and times."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

A bow window costs up to $15,000 to install in total. Materials cost anywhere from $1,200 to more than $14,000, and labor is an additional $300 to $1,900. Bow window costs vary based on the size of the window and the frame material. You’ll spend more for custom features or energy-efficient upgrades, too. For comparison, bay window installation costs about $1,000 to $7,000.
