"They did a great job. They rebuilt my closet, hung curtain rods, fixed a kitchen cabinet and drawers as well as a few other small projects. It was very reasonably priced and done quickly. I would definitely hire again."

"Fausto Construction is the best I’ve ever worked with! I’ve dealt with contractors who met deadlines but delivered mediocre work, and others who were meticulous but took forever to finish. Fausto struck the perfect balance—paying attention to every detail, producing high-quality work, and completing everything on time. Since I don’t live near my condo, I needed someone I could trust completely, and Fausto did not disappoint. He provided regular progress updates with photos, and the communication was excellent. Thanks to Fausto, my condo now has stunning new floors, a high-end shower, and beautiful finishing touches that make it feel brand new while preserving its beachy charm. He listened to my ideas, made thoughtful suggestions without any hard upsell, and truly cared about the final result. I’m beyond happy with his work and will absolutely use Fausto Construction again for my next big home improvement project!"

"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."

"After meeting with several contractors, I met Ryan and instinctually knew he was the right choice. In fact it was the best decision. I purchased a place that needed a remodel badly. We had a limited time and budget to do everything. Not only did he and his team finish on time and budget, the remodel turned out even more beautiful than I imagined. Ryan and his team realized an even better version of my vision. He was a great collaborator, figuring out how and enhancing my ideas and always mindful of the cost. I will work with Ryan and his team again. I highly recommend him."

"I received quotes from four different companies before choosing Shiro Builders Group, and the difference was obvious from the beginning. While other contractors focused mostly on price, Shir took the time to understand the project, explain the process, and provide realistic expectations. This is exactly how a remodeling project should be approached. The entire kitchen renovation was handled professionally and efficiently. The job site was kept clean, communication was consistent, and every phase of the project moved forward smoothly. There were no surprises, no unnecessary delays, and no shortcuts. The finished product exceeded our expectations. The cabinetry, countertops, floating shelves, tile work, and overall attention to detail came together beautifully. The craftsmanship is outstanding, and the quality is visible in every part of the kitchen. What impressed us most was how seamless the experience felt from start to finish. Shir was involved throughout the project, answered e"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.

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. 

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.
