"Review from perspective of first time home owner/buyer who had a long list of projects and home improvements that required a general contractor. I recently purchased a two bedroom home in Mill Valley and after moving in quickly realized that there were a littany of projects that needed to be completed in order to make my new home more comfortable and presentable. I received 3 referrals for different general contractors from friends/family and went on the meet and receive estimates from them. I decided to go with Fred and FSP general contractors for my initial set of priority projects based on my favorable impression of Fred, his fair and straightforward estimates, and clear communication of timelines to both start and complete the initial projects. I decided to continue to work with Fred/FSP for my 2nd/3rd traunch of projects based the high quality of work performed during my first set of projects, adherence to estimates and timelines, and ease of communication during the process. In particular, I appreciated Fred's flexibility with my evolving priorities and his availability to meet/speak/text about questions and/or recomendation pertaining to ongoing work. The work that Fred/FSP did and continues to do for me was diverse but probably representative of the type of work many people are interested in: 1. Remodling of bathroom including istallation of new fixtures and replacement of original tile. 2. A tricky and unusual rebuild of a fireplace and mantle. 3. A custom designed/made concealed wiring scheme for tv mounted over the new fireplace mantle. 4. Replacemant and installation of lighting throughout house. 5. A full review, recomendation (s), and upgrades for electrical integrity of the entrie house. 6. A long list of random tings I thought of along the way! I feel fortunate to have crossed paths with Fred/FSP and will continue to work with them for all home improvement projects moving forward. I highly recommend this company based on the honesty/integrity of Fred and his crew, the adherence to reasonable estimates and timelines, and the high quality of all work performed."

"We hired McCoy Construction to help resize a few of our built in cabinets and they did a great job! Every member of the team was super friendly and were incredibly communicative. In the end the new additions to the cabinet spaces all looked super natural and functioned perfectly. You can hardly tell what they added versus what was already there even though finding the correct coloring proved to be very difficult. All in all, I would highly recommend McCoy for whatever home-improvement projects you might have."

Customers say: Quick response

"I was very pleased with this contractor, his crew, and the work performed. The contractor was responsive, punctual, and worked around adverse weather conditions. His employees were polite, friendly, and left the work area spotless upon job completion. All material was stained before installation and screwed into place, guaranteeing a finished product that is solid and well protected. This contractor provided an estimate within 7 days of initial inspection and completed the deck project in 2 weeks from start of construction! I have never had or heard of this type of service from any general contractor in the area. We will definitely use him again for any size project that comes along."

"Ybarra Professional Builders did 2 big plumbing projects on my house and property. Not only did they install a brand-new main water line to replace the old leaking galvanized steel pipe, but they also re-piped my house's plumbing as it was also made from that same rusting out galvanized steel. I also had some other major work done by them at the same time (tree removal and sprinkler repair) but since Home Advisor asked for a specific type of project for this review, I will only review the plumbing projects. Vlad was the project manager for all of these projects. He coordinated all of the sub-contractors' work and got the projects done in a timely manner. There were none of the time issues that I had heard about with other contractors, such as waiting weeks between one phase of a project to get the next one started-after one phase was done, the next phase would begin with no more than a day or two in between. He was very pleasant and very patient with my many questions and concerns and kept me up-to-date with what was happening. The project that I most dreaded, the house plumbing re-piping, was not as bad as I thought it would be, to my great relief. All of the people who I dealt with at Ybarra were pleasant and professional, from the sub-contractors to the office staff. I think the quality of the work performed was very good. In the additional clean-up phase, the holes in the drywall where the plumbing had been re-piped were patched and painted, and the concrete where the driveway had to be cut to replace the main water line was re-poured. This portion of the project was available as an additional cost, but the workmanship was very good. I had heard and read many horror stories about dealing with contractors so working with this group was a pleasant surprise. Thank you, Vlad."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

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.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

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.
