"I hired this contractor for a pergola rebuild due to water damage. Chris the owner is a finish carpenter and does extremely high quality work. Came out on a Saturday started the job on Monday and it extended for nearly 2 weeks. He was very meticulous in his planning and execution. Also had to work in harmony with a roofer handling that part of the repair. A challenge occurred in accommodating the structure and attaching the gutters and Chris came up with the ideal plan. Chris worked with a helper who was qualified as well for the work delegated to him. I am extremely pleased with the outcome and certainly would hire Chris again as appropriate."

"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.

"Mike was punctual and very professional on this project which took a little over two days to complete. His assistant was very skilled in the kind of carpentry required for building a deck and benches incorporated into the structure. The photo shows the triangular area repaired after a spa had been removed. The new redwood had not yet been stained to match the older part of the deck."

"John Whitener is awesome! His crew was knowledgeable, friendly, courteous and respectful to our home. Job was completed within the time frame quoted and just a smidge over budget. COVID-19 restrictions delayed our project, but Legacy Builders safely blazed through those challenges with flying colors! A special thanks to David Bomgardner for putting up with me and installing my perfect cabinets like a pro! I will be using these guys again for my next big project and I would highly recommend you do the same. For now, I’m enjoying my beautifully remodeled kitchen. What a difference! Thank you Legacy Builders!! AAA"

"NES Property Services, I cannot say enough good things about their work ethic, professionalism and quality of finished product. We did an extensive master bath remodel, including taking down walls. Every time I walk in my bathroom I am so thankful that Natalie and Sean of NES Property Services brought their expertise to bear. They gave me great advice. They explained pricing. Their subs were fantastic! Every person who came in this house took the project seriously. I feel very fortunate to have had NES Property Services by my side throughout my project and I can highly recommend them to you ."

Customers say: True professional

"We found McCormick home builders through Angie’s list. They were not one of our original contacts, but they contacted us and came out to give us a quote. Matteo was extremely helpful, informative, honest, and gave us reasonable realistic prices, and did not try to inflate the prices or pressure us in anyway. We felt very comfortable with him immediately. We felt like he was a member of the family that we could just talk to and ask questions he was very personable. He gave us his contact number in case we had other questions and he was always available when we needed him for any type of questions or concerns. Mateo‘s team did a beautiful job. They were fast. They were efficient. They cleaned up beautifully. They did a wonderful job. They were very considerate of our time our needs and our neighbors. They were an absolute pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Matteo from McCormick home builders for any home building projects, and we will be calling him again in the future!"

"I hired Basnett Construction to remodel my kitchen, and living room areas. They reviewed my draft plans and prepared a more formal set of plans that was submitted to the city for a permit. The project from start to finish took about six months to complete. I was quite pleased with Basnett Construction's professionalism, meticulousness, attention to detail especially in kitchen cabinet, island and new interior door installations, their efficiency, and their ability to be flexible with me in my decision making during the build process. In sum, I'd highly recommend Basnett Construction for remodeling kitchens and other similar projects. They will get the job done "right to your preferences.""

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.
