"Juan is the most experienced, honest and reliable carpenter we have employed for work on our house. He consulted with us about materials and design, then quickly tore out and replaced our backyard deck this year. It is beautiful and just what we wanted. Donâ  t hesitate to employ him on any carpentry projects !"

"Enrique and his team tackled a number of small to medium size projects from painting to door frame repair to drywall removal and replacement. The team was on time each day and ensured that the days task list was completed before leaving for the day. They ensured the work areas were organized and cleaned after each day. They were professional, easy to work with and their pricing was competitive. Would highly recommend them for any general construction or handyman projects you have."

"We have continued to hire Creativo for multiple projects after the successful replacement of all the porch railings on our 1913 farmhouse. They executed our custom Arts+Craft railing design beautifully! We have hired them to replace the roofing on two buildings and will hire them to paint trim and two more buildings. They are courteous, very reliable, and honor time commitments extremely well. We value quality workmanship, and Creativo has delivered for a fair price and a clear communication if added work is needed. I strongly recommend them."

"Vertex has completed more than one project for me but I especially want to mention the amazing job they did replacing the siding on my home. The whole process was smooth, communication was great and they kept everything clean from start to finish. I’m very happy with the results and would definitely recommend them!"

"Digital Living did our entire home audio system/speakers throughout the house, TV and internet installation when we moved to Sonoma. Derick, and his team, lead by Matt, did an amazing job with the installation, and were also a wonderful resource for recommending the right equipment/speakers along with boosters to make sure the internet worked throughout the house (not an easy feat on this mountain) and to make sure we knew how to use the system before they departed us. They are technical wizards, very professional and have great ideas regarding esthetics for speaker placement and better sound. They care a lot about building relationships with with their customers and have great customer service post installation for the occasional question/tweak over the last 2 years! I call them the dream team for home technology installations!"

"I would very highly recommend Sola de Vega. They removed our old grass and some soil, sprayed the area with an herbicide to prevent unwanted grasses from returning, installed a gopher/mole guard, replaced the sprinkler heads, and installed new topsoil and sod. Saul was very quick to respond to our request for a bid and was very reasonable in his estimate and final costs for the project. I can't speak highly enough to characterize his professionalism, rapid follow-up to our questions and concerns, and great communication and friendly demeanor. The project was completed on time, including installation and clean-up, and the results were beautiful."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

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. 

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

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.

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.
