"My boyfriend and I hired Natali after meeting with 4 other contractors. She offered us the best price and she was the most professional and knowledgeable. SoCal builders installed hardwood floors throughout, fully remodeled 3 baths and a full paint job. We then decided to retile the kitchen. Everything looks fantastic, we will use them again no doubt for future projects. Natali was very flexible and accommodating and her crew is very nice as well."
"Legacy Builders & Design was great to work with on our home renovation. Jon communicated clearly and stayed on top of the project from start to finish. This was a very professional group to work with and we would hire them again for any future contractor needs. I'd highly recommend them!"
"When we decided we wanted to redo our downstairs, to include the removal of two walls, we knew we didnt want to rush a decision. We brought 7 different companies to give us bids and took almost a month make the decision. They werent the least expensive bid, NES was the most communicative, most prepared, and most professional of all the companies we let give us bids. They explicitly said what they planned to do and what the cost would be. There was no If this, then that. Everything was precisely planned.
They communicated daily to let us know exactly who would come the next day, at what time, and what work they would do. We never wondered, Is anyone coming today? Natalie was great going over designs. Sean was great going over production.
Their team was professional, considerate of our living space, and experts at what they did. They cleaned/dusted each day. I need more than 999 characters to tell you how amazing they are.
We'll never have to look for another contractor again."
"Dealing with contractors is never easy, and Ben is no pushover, but with very few exceptions, Ben and his crew do what they say they are going to do when they say they are going to do it, and they do it very well. What else can you really ask for from contractors. He's organized and a person of integrity. I liked that he sent a Google chart with supplies to purchase that we could work together that helped me figure out what kind of parts and tiles to purchase. Great experience and our bathrooms are amazing."
"I am a contractor myself so I am well aware of quality, attention to detail and caring, All of which Slate Construction incorporated into my major kitchen remodel. He was very organized from the beginning and took extra steps to keep the interior of the home clean. I can honestly say he?s a perfectionist when it comes to his work. There were many times when he wasn?t happy with the outcome of a task and I thought it looked fine and even told him such, however if he wasn?t happy with it then he would do it over. I also should mention that the project was completed in a very timely manner therefore we did not have to endure the inconvenience of a remodel longer than necessary.
I am very pleased and willing to recommend him to anyone."
"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!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.
You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.
Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.
When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project.
To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.
