"Javier is wonderful to work with. Over the last 5 years, he did many projects for my elderly grandparents in Salinas. When I contact him, he is prompt in every way: He responds to my texts, does the needed work without delay, and bills quickly. He is a nice person, honest, has broad knowledge, does quality work, and is a clear communicator. Javier has made my construction projects feel easy. All my experiences with him feel very positive, leave me with a good feeling, and a good finished project."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Miguel on several home improvement projects, and I cannot speak highly enough of his skills, professionalism, and dedication. Miguel undertook a range of tasks, including plumbing under the house, replacing the water heater, fencing, a bathroom remodel, and various bathroom repairs. From the outset, Miguel demonstrated exceptional knowledge and expertise in plumbing. The work under the house and the water heater replacement were executed flawlessly, with great attention to detail and a focus on quality. Miguel provided us with peace of mind and a reliable plumbing system. The fencing project was another testament to Miguel's versatility and craftsmanship. He meticulously planned and constructed a sturdy, aesthetically pleasing fence that not only enhances the security of our property but also adds to its overall curb appeal. Miguel’s eye for detail and commitment to excellence were evident throughout the project. Additionally, Miguel took care of various bathroom repairs with the same level of expertise and dedication. No job was too small for him, and he ensured that every detail was addressed, leaving us with a bathroom that is in excellent working order. Throughout all these projects, Miguel's professionalism, punctuality, and excellent communication stood out. He consistently went above and beyond to ensure that we were satisfied with the work, and his friendly demeanor made the entire experience pleasant. I highly recommend Miguel for any home improvement projects. His work is of the highest quality, and his commitment to customer satisfaction is unparalleled. Thank you, Miguel, for your outstanding work and for making our home a better place!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.
