"I spent way more than what the deal was for.  I had to add more money and they did less than what was in the ad.  The ad was very misleading and he didn't do the minor repairs and the size of the deck was irrelevant because what he does is he adds the linear feet of the railing and that's almost double the price.  He was professional it was just we felt ripped off because we already have him scheduled.  The work they are doing is not done.  He wanted a whole lot more for what the ad said that he would do.  So we did the minimum and that cost us more than the ad said."

"Javier is wonderful to work with. Over the last 5 years, he did many projects for my elderly grandparents in Salinas. When I contact him, he is prompt in every way: He responds to my texts, does the needed work without delay, and bills quickly. He is a nice person, honest, has broad knowledge, does quality work, and is a clear communicator. Javier has made my construction projects feel easy. All my experiences with him feel very positive, leave me with a good feeling, and a good finished project."

"Elvis and his professional staff came to the property and gave their quote for the jobs that needed to be done. The quote was more than fair without any fudging involved-an honest wage for an honest days work. Elvis prepared a detailed estimate for what he was going to do and the materials needed to handle the job. There was no added % for the materials needed as some contractors tend to do. The job of building the garage including the demolition and dump hauls was completed in a respectable timely fashion and not only that but Elvis answered my calls immediately and answered any and all concerns with a professional attitude. He was respectable to me and my wife by addressing us by 'sir' and 'mam' but he did not have to do that. I trust Elvis and while we were away from our home he was more than welcome to come in to use the electrical plug ins or for any other needs he may have had. His work along with his employees is excellent and done with pride and craftsmanship. No short cuts and if it was not done to his or our liking he is the type of person who would start all over again if necessary. I would not hesitate to hire Elvis Mendez for contractor work of any kind and since I am a real estate agent locally I will recommend his services for clients that may be in need of upgrading/remodeling their homes prior to placing on the market. I would love very much for him to be hired to build a home as hi;s dedication and commitment to his client would be exemplary in my opinion. Thank you very much Elvis to you and your co-workers."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Miguel on several home improvement projects, and I cannot speak highly enough of his skills, professionalism, and dedication. Miguel undertook a range of tasks, including plumbing under the house, replacing the water heater, fencing, a bathroom remodel, and various bathroom repairs. From the outset, Miguel demonstrated exceptional knowledge and expertise in plumbing. The work under the house and the water heater replacement were executed flawlessly, with great attention to detail and a focus on quality. Miguel provided us with peace of mind and a reliable plumbing system. The fencing project was another testament to Miguel's versatility and craftsmanship. He meticulously planned and constructed a sturdy, aesthetically pleasing fence that not only enhances the security of our property but also adds to its overall curb appeal. Miguel’s eye for detail and commitment to excellence were evident throughout the project. Additionally, Miguel took care of various bathroom repairs with the same level of expertise and dedication. No job was too small for him, and he ensured that every detail was addressed, leaving us with a bathroom that is in excellent working order. Throughout all these projects, Miguel's professionalism, punctuality, and excellent communication stood out. He consistently went above and beyond to ensure that we were satisfied with the work, and his friendly demeanor made the entire experience pleasant. I highly recommend Miguel for any home improvement projects. His work is of the highest quality, and his commitment to customer satisfaction is unparalleled. Thank you, Miguel, for your outstanding work and for making our home a better place!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

The cost to frame a 2,000-square-foot house can fall anywhere between $14,000 and $32,000. This price can increase or decrease depending on what type of framing you choose, the quality of the materials, the project's complexity, and whether you decide to hire a professional to do the job.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.
