"My boyfriend and I hired Natali after meeting with 4 other contractors. She offered us the best price and she was the most professional and knowledgeable. SoCal builders installed hardwood floors throughout, fully remodeled 3 baths and a full paint job. We then decided to retile the kitchen. Everything looks fantastic, we will use them again no doubt for future projects. Natali was very flexible and accommodating and her crew is very nice as well."
Completely renovating both the guest and master bathrooms. In the master bathroom, we're installing a spacious walk-in shower featuring dual black-finished shower heads, elegant floating benches, and marble wall tiles. Meanwhile, the guest bathroom will have a sleek built-in tub and stylish hexagon tiles.
This project involved adding a new master bathroom to the existing house. The shower features sleek white subway tiles complemented by striking black fixtures and shower door hardware. The bathroom floor is adorned with elegant white marble tiles, providing a seamless and luxurious finish. A white shaker vanity topped with a white marble countertop completes the space, creating a clean and sophisticated look.

"I hired Art General contractor to redo my kitchen floor. It was ruin by a leaky fridge. They suggested to go with waterproof flooring. They spend extra time to make sure everything was perfect before they left. Will be calling them again when I finish the bottom floor."

"Great, once the job started, Kyle's crew was at my house punctually every day they were scheduled. They were always polite and courteous and not on their phones! They were not put out when I had questions or made changes, either. Kyle does a great job with hiring, his employees were great, as were sub contractors he recommended."

"I honestly don’t know where to begin. Working with Mike and HIC Builders to remodel my kitchen and bathroom was an overall amazing experience with so many positives. It was my first time remodeling my house. There were so many aspects of concern and stress. From the very first meeting with Mike, he completely put me an ease, and talked to me in detail on what they could do and the approximate price point. Throughout the initial phase, I contacted and met with over 6 different companies, and of course, the estimates that I received were all over the map. HIC Builders estimate was very manageable and, best of all, precise. There weren’t any surprises at the end of the remodeling job. What Mike said on day 1 was exactly what it turned out to be. After my meeting with all the other companies, I was debating between Mike and one other company. At this point, I also decided to downsize my remodeling to save some extra money. The other company was immediately hesitant to take on the job now that their profits had shrunk, whereas Mike was the complete opposite. He went into revision mode and was quick to come up with an alternate plan that we could do now that my budget had changed. That really impressed me. His ability to maneuver and work with different financial circumstances while maintaining a high quality of work. It also showed me that he cared about my project, even after the scope of the work had become smaller. I now know he has many projects going on at any given time, but you wouldn’t have guessed it by the attention and excellent communication he provides. I never felt like I couldn’t reach out to him for questions (and I had many) or clarifications in each phase. For me, choosing the right contractor came down to trust. I was remodeling from out of town, so I couldn’t check in on the process on a constant basis. Mike kept me informed every step of the way and eased my anxiety if anything popped up. If an issue or potential issue came about, he would bring it up to let me know this or that happened, but then he would tell me that it was no problem to deal with, and provide a solution as how he planned to work around it. The entire process was always transparent and clear. I could go on and on about what sets HIC Builders apart, but I hope this gives you a snapshot on why they are the right contractors for the job. I have zero complaints and they went beyond my expectations. Best of all, the end result looks like a million bucks."

"The Home Remodeling Guys came to our rescue after a previous contractor left our kitchen remodel incomplete, having taken our money without finishing the job. Our home was in rough shape—lacking floors, windows, countertops, cabinets, and even a functional bathroom on the first floor, making it nearly unlivable. Taking on a project under these circumstances is risky, given the uncertainty of the previous work. However, the team at The Home Remodeling Guys proved to be true professionals. After assessing the situation, they quickly provided an estimate and immediately got to work. Their crew began the project the following week and completed it in record time—just in time for the holidays. We are incredibly grateful to The Home Remodeling Guys for their exceptional work. If you're looking for a contractor you can trust for any remodeling project, I highly recommend this team. They are honest, hardworking, and skilled in a wide range of services, from electrical and carpentry to plumbing, tiling, and more. Every aspect of our remodel was handled by specialists at The Home Remodeling Guys. A huge thank you to the entire team for transforming our home! We absolutely love our new kitchen!"

"McGee Construction has completed multiple large scale home renovation projects for me and my clients recently and have done an amazing job. These were complex renovations and they provided top-level expertise in all project scope areas and very high quality work. Larry McGee is very responsive to my client's needs and as a Designer, I only want to work with responsive contractors like McGee Construction, who care about their clients, and who are committed to doing the job right. I look forward to working with them again on my next project and highly recommend them to others!"

"Not usually one to leave reviews but I felt it was necessary here. Anyone that has ever dealt with contractors before, knows what a headache it can be. Working with LA Family Builders was a breath of fresh air. My wife and I decided to convert our 2 car garage to an adu. Our project manager Jonathan met with us and explained the complete scope of work in full detail. He also made sure to keep us updated on every step of the project, We could not be any happier with completed project I highly recommend getting a free quote."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.
