"Karol worked as general contractor for our home remodel, which involved adding a second story on an existing single family home. Karol managed the project very skillfully, keeping it within budget and our timeline. I was particularly impressed by his integrity and we eventually came to trust him for looking out for it interests. When our initial drywall subcontractor was overbilling us and frequently absent from the job, Karol promptly called out the actions and terminated the contact. He helped us find good workarounds for some issues involving our kitchen cabinets and a new outdoor deck."

"We recently had our bathroom remodeled by Be Home Remodeling, and I just wanted to share how happy we are with everything. Pouria, our project manager, was great — super organized, always kept us updated, and really listened to any concerns we had. Any time we needed something or had a question, he handled it right away. The crew (Manuel, Isaí )did an awesome job. They worked cleanly, were respectful of our home, and the quality of the work shows. The bathroom turned out even better than we expected, and we honestly love how everything came out. Overall, it was a really smooth experience, and we’d definitely recommend Be Home Remodeling and Pouria if you’re planning a remodel."

"These folks are conscientious, honest contractors. I have hired then for many years and I am never disappointed in the workmanship and quality. They always back their work and came back to fix something that they worked on. An added bonus is that they are just great people. I would highly recommend them and I am picky."

"Eric took over a partially completed remodeling job. The job
included framing a new floor where there had been a sunken conversation pit,
hanging doors, replacing the old baseboards and completing a wall with new drywall.
His bid was very reasonable and he completed the job quickly and efficiently. I
would use him again and I would definitely recommend him to others.

"First of all, these guys are rockstars. I never thought that I will say this about contractors - but they really impressed us with their professionalism and quality of work. We bought a new house with a big yard for our kids to run around (realizations during the pandemic), but it meant that we had to compromise on the quality of the house interior. It looked really old and didn't look renovated after it was build in the 60s. I started talking to general contractors to get it remodelled and was shocked by the timelines and prices being quoted. I found Ohad (owner of Quartz Construction) via yelp reviews and what struck me most was that everyone was commenting on his clear communication. We had done a remodel of our townhome in the past and it was not a great experience since the contractor kept changing timelines and prices in the middle of the job. My wife and I went to their office and had a detailed conversation with Ohad on what we were looking for. We had just a vague idea of what we wanted and this is where Ohad really helped us. He worked with us to create a plan on how we can make the home better and he even played the role of the designer to change the layout to create a new bedroom and bathroom. Post that, he drafted up everything and gave us a detailed quote on everything. 1. Remove 2 fireplaces and an indoor bbq pit within the home. 2. Change complete flooring. 3. Remove the popcorn cieling (and asbestos) and put new cieling. 4. Complete remodel of kitchen including structural changes. 5. Complete remodel of 2 bathrooms. 6. Construction of a new room and bathroom (with structural change). 7. Remodel the laundry room and guest washroom. 8. Recess lights across the house (close to 80 + recess lights across the house). 9. Painting interior and exterior. 10. New sub-panel for appliances. 11. All the required permits for these. Ohad a quoted a very reasonable price for all of this and he quoted 2 months to finish the project. I was a bit shocked, but he was very confident about it. We really liked the way he communicated and had an open discussion about everything, so we decided to go with him. Ohad had promised us that we will see progress in our house everyday and he kept that promise. His workers are honest, hard working folks and we were really impressed by everyone - especially Omar who was the worksite supervisor. The workers showed up everyday on time (8 am or earlier) and left late evening by 7 pm. They left the worksite so clean after every day's work that we used to wonder whether they were planning to come back the next day :-). Even our new neighbors were commenting about the punctuality and asked us for the contractors phone number for their remodeling (without seeing the interior, just based on the punctuality). We were expecting it to at least take 3-4 months and were prepared for the wait - but the entire project finished in 2 months a 1 week ( 1 week over the agreed timeline). And, the reason why it took 1 week more was since we added exterior painting and slanting roof+insulation for our new bedroom at the last moment. Since almost everything at our place was new, there were things to be fixed and reconfigured after we moved in. Anything we called and asked for was done the same day or the immediate next day. Everyone coming in and seeing the house cannot believe that it was done in 9 weeks (and within the budget) and a lot of my friends are now planning remodelling keeping Ohad and Quartz construction in mind. Ohad always says that he is "talking out loud" so that there is no confusion. It is his way of making sure that everyone is on the same page and there are no surprises. He is brutally honest and that is the best quality a contractor should have. This was the biggest remodeling we ever did and we were expecting a grind - but it was a breeze thanks to Ohad and his men. Highly recommended !!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

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.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.
