"It took us time to find a contractor. We got over Six quotes only two contractors actually sent us a bid. Ben was very responsive. He sent us the quote within a week from the visit. We were very satisfied with the process. We were always in the know. We have done renovations In the past with contractors and we were always not pleased with not knowing the schedule. We finally found someone we can trust and will definitely be using him again. Thank you again Ben it was a pleasure meeting you and working with you."

Customers say: True professional

"Working with Kris & Aaron is a true pleasure, which is unusual when working with contractors. They are lovely men who are honest and trustworthy and who also take huge pride in doing things correctly. No cutting corners or cheap stuff for them. They have done things like replace my skylight, build fences, add electrical lights/outlets/etc. I would trust them with anything. Because they are also excellent landscapers, they actually know plants and landscaping and have done wonderful things with my gardens. Thank you Kris & Aaron!"

Small jobs welcome

"Having purchased this second home out of state and literally knowing nothing about the area and what was needed to set up the reconstruction, he was highly recommended by our real estate agent and had great references from other homeowners in the area. Eric helped us find a local architect/designer, worked with the building planning district, water district, etc. etc. so he's much more than just a General Contractor.  We simply could not have completed the work without him. As with all remodels, it's stressful and he was the calm, steady person needed to keep everyone in check.  He had great sub-contractors and every portion of the work was completed as guaranteed per the contract.  When there were hiccups, he fixed it.  He did all the hard work, just coordinated with us to be sure we got what we expected from each phase.  The results exceeded all our expectations.  No hesitation with recommending him for any job, large or small.

"First of all, these guys are rockstars. I never thought that I will say this about contractors - but they really impressed us with their professionalism and quality of work. We bought a new house with a big yard for our kids to run around (realizations during the pandemic), but it meant that we had to compromise on the quality of the house interior. It looked really old and didn't look renovated after it was build in the 60s. I started talking to general contractors to get it remodelled and was shocked by the timelines and prices being quoted. I found Ohad (owner of Quartz Construction) via yelp reviews and what struck me most was that everyone was commenting on his clear communication. We had done a remodel of our townhome in the past and it was not a great experience since the contractor kept changing timelines and prices in the middle of the job. My wife and I went to their office and had a detailed conversation with Ohad on what we were looking for. We had just a vague idea of what we wanted and this is where Ohad really helped us. He worked with us to create a plan on how we can make the home better and he even played the role of the designer to change the layout to create a new bedroom and bathroom. Post that, he drafted up everything and gave us a detailed quote on everything. 1. Remove 2 fireplaces and an indoor bbq pit within the home. 2. Change complete flooring. 3. Remove the popcorn cieling (and asbestos) and put new cieling. 4. Complete remodel of kitchen including structural changes. 5. Complete remodel of 2 bathrooms. 6. Construction of a new room and bathroom (with structural change). 7. Remodel the laundry room and guest washroom. 8. Recess lights across the house (close to 80 + recess lights across the house). 9. Painting interior and exterior. 10. New sub-panel for appliances. 11. All the required permits for these. Ohad a quoted a very reasonable price for all of this and he quoted 2 months to finish the project. I was a bit shocked, but he was very confident about it. We really liked the way he communicated and had an open discussion about everything, so we decided to go with him. Ohad had promised us that we will see progress in our house everyday and he kept that promise. His workers are honest, hard working folks and we were really impressed by everyone - especially Omar who was the worksite supervisor. The workers showed up everyday on time (8 am or earlier) and left late evening by 7 pm. They left the worksite so clean after every day's work that we used to wonder whether they were planning to come back the next day :-). Even our new neighbors were commenting about the punctuality and asked us for the contractors phone number for their remodeling (without seeing the interior, just based on the punctuality). We were expecting it to at least take 3-4 months and were prepared for the wait - but the entire project finished in 2 months a 1 week ( 1 week over the agreed timeline). And, the reason why it took 1 week more was since we added exterior painting and slanting roof+insulation for our new bedroom at the last moment. Since almost everything at our place was new, there were things to be fixed and reconfigured after we moved in. Anything we called and asked for was done the same day or the immediate next day. Everyone coming in and seeing the house cannot believe that it was done in 9 weeks (and within the budget) and a lot of my friends are now planning remodelling keeping Ohad and Quartz construction in mind. Ohad always says that he is "talking out loud" so that there is no confusion. It is his way of making sure that everyone is on the same page and there are no surprises. He is brutally honest and that is the best quality a contractor should have. This was the biggest remodeling we ever did and we were expecting a grind - but it was a breeze thanks to Ohad and his men. Highly recommended !!"

"It's difficult to trust contractors these days. We had a bad experience in the past with another contractor and we were very hesitant to use one again. However, we decided to give Tech Line Construction a chance because our friend recommended them. We are so glad that we did! They painted the exterior of our house and handled a bigger project for our property. I admire how Luis always kept us in the loop and he was always available to answer our questions. We'll pass the word to our friends and family about this company. They're the real deal!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

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.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

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.
