"First off, I was very proud to support an army veteran in choosing Felipe out of 3 bids to do a somewhat complex remodel of my master bathroom. He shows up when he says he will show up, and if he is late, he lets you know (rare in this business!). He only commits to one large project at a time, and what this means is that he would show up at 8am each day, and work through the whole day, I never felt we had a wasted day in this project. He was also extremely respectful of our home and schedule. He insisted his guys lay drop clothes throughout the house to avoid getting dirt and dust everywhere, and he even rolled up the cloths at the end of each day. If a day ran late, he was only to happy to stay late and finish the work, but only after asking us permission - he was very concerned to disrupt our evening family time. This level of respect for his customer is something that he insists on with his crew, and we found every one of them to be polite, hardworking, reliable and respectful. Felipe is also very focused on making sure we were happy, and I wasn't an easy customer for this. If I noticed I didn't like the way something was done, he would explain his reasoning, but if that wasn't good enough for what I needed, he always obliged to make the change so I would be happy. The project involved a full demo of a master bathroom, and also removing a wall to extend the bathroom into a patio space, to create a 100 sq. foot bathroom. This required lots of concrete demo, re-leveling the patio floor, building a new tub frame, installing a large tub, building a shower pan, plumbing and drain rerouting, new flooring, installing shiplap on several walls, electrical, installing large windows and a skylight, converting to a 2-sink vanity, shower glass enclosure and lots of marble tiling work. In this much complexity, we did have lots of bumps along the way, but with his good heart, we got through them, and at the end, we are super happy with our new bathroom. Felipe has skills in framing, tile work, plumbing, carpentry and drywall. Unique in his drywall approach, he creates very little dust by getting to an almost smooth finish that requires less sanding work. In plumbing he wasn't always familiar with the newer plumbing fittings that we got, but unlike others he would say "let's look at the instructions". His tiling work was good, and he worked with marble, porcelain and ceramic on this project - I will say this was the most tedious part of the project to get right! He worked very hard, and I would say an extra 5 days than planned to accommodate our needs, and never charged us extra. For all the extra work he did when issues came up such as floor leveling, plumbing runs, he never complained, and honored the original contract we signed. Overall I recommend Felipe as an amazing guy to hire to do any kind of home repair. With Felipe, you could just trust him and leave him to do your full project without worry. If you have exacting requirements (as I did), then my advice is to clearly write out what you need, so things don't get forgotten or confused along the way, and Felipe is only too happy to have you check his work and adjust/accommodate as you go along."

"I hired this company to repair structural damage to the frame of a loveseat and they did excellent work from the pickup all the way through the delivery. The experience is everything that someone should want and expect from a high quality firm. It was a pleasurable experience."

"The workers did the repairs. I continually told them it needed to be strong and sturdy. They responded they understand. When the awning was attempted to be attached it pulled the fascia board away from the house. I contacted Kyle who finally came out to assess the problem to repair. (This was the first time I met Kyle) Once Kyle arrived he looked at the fascia board and told me it would never hold an awning. I explained I had told his workers and they seemed to understand. He then informed me they don't speak English. I said his workers should have called him if they thought they couldn't do the job to the satisfaction of the client. He then left and emailed me they could repair the fascia board for additional money. I then declined any further help from a company that doesn't stand by their work. I believe that if you don't personally see the job that needs completing that you should send workers that can communicate with the client so that there is no issue later."

"They did a great job. Very professional & courteous team lead by Mike Mohsini. He was the only contractor to give me a detailed written estimate, which was also lower than the two other verbal estimates I received. Mike also included some needed structural upgrades & other current building code requirements. The final inspection by San Francisco building department is scheduled for Monday, 6/13/22. I would definitely recommend Northgate Development to anyone in Bay Area needing deck repairs and/or replacement. Thanks for your recommendation. ~Stephen Teeple"

"We recently hired a construction company to complete an addition on our home, and we couldn?t be happier with the results. From the very first consultation to the final walkthrough, their professionalism, transparency, and attention to detail truly stood out. The team took the time to understand our vision and offered thoughtful suggestions that improved both the design and functionality of the new space. Throughout the project, communication was clear and consistent. We always knew what phase we were in, what to expect next, and any questions we had were answered promptly. The quality of workmanship exceeded our expectations. The addition blends seamlessly with the original structure of our home?it looks and feels like it was always meant to be there. The crew was punctual, respectful of our property, and kept the worksite clean and organized each day. We highly recommend this company to anyone considering a home addition or renovation."

"Home2Renovate painted the entire exterior of the house including the stucco and trim. They did an excellent job in prepping the house for the actual painting and they completed the house in a timely manner (5 and 1/2 days straight through). They were professional and took great pride in their work. They kept me informed throughout the process. They also installed rain gutters which complemented the paint scheme of the house. I would highly recommend them for home repair and painting projects."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.

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.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

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.
