"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."
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.

"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."

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.""

Unfinished Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.
