"I had an outdoor playground set. Adrian was professional and hard-working. Great communication and he brought all the required tools and equipment. He showed up first thing in the morning on a short notice and it was all done before the end of the day. The assembly looks great and I know the kids will love it!"

"Extremely happy with the work that was done. Communication was fast and they are very kind. Explained all charges thoroughly and at a fair price. The project required different workers and they were all professional, worked in communication with each other and the work was done perfectly. (framing, insulation, drywall, electrical being moved, door and hardware installed and added wall texture at the top of staircase.. not an easy job.) It was done quickly and did an excellent job containing the construction debris from the rest of the house. I highly recommend them and they listened to our needs. I will be using them again if we have any other projects."

"Marc was excellent at communication through out the whole project. He made sure everything met our expectations and he went above and beyond to follow up on anything that we had a concern about. We had two bathrooms that he remodeled for us and he never once left us with out running water or electricity and always made sure we know what was going to be worked on each day and would check back in with us before leaving the worksite for the night. 10 Star service, I am sure if we had asked he would have a rolled out a red carpet for us. It was by far the best experience we could have asked for."

Customers say: True professional

"DS Builders are very professional. I highly recommend their services. I have recommended them to my friends. I have used their services 3 separate times, deck repair and the remodel of 3 bathrooms. Currently, they are working on the remodel of our kitchen. They arrive when scheduled, finished job is just as quoted and clean up is as you would expect. They are helpful in suggesting ideas that I had not thought of. Mindful of a budget is another bonus of DS Builders."

"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."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.

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.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.
