"We just wrapped up a full bathroom remodel with D2A Construction and I'm beyond thrilled with how everything turned out. From the very first consultation, Dani was straightforward, attentive, and genuinely listened to what we were hoping to achieve. Our bathroom was old, cramped, and honestly kind of embarrassing. Now it feels like a luxury spa — seriously! Dani's crew was polite, professional, and always cleaned up at the end of each day (which I hugely appreciated since we have little ones at home). The tile work is flawless, the new shower layout is so much more functional, and the modern design they suggested works beautifully in our space. There were a couple of small hiccups (as expected with any construction), but Dani handled them quickly and kept everything on schedule. We never felt in the dark. Can’t recommend D2A enough. It’s rare to find a contractor who communicates well and actually delivers what was promised!"

"Dealing with contractors is never easy, and Ben is no pushover, but with very few exceptions, Ben and his crew do what they say they are going to do when they say they are going to do it, and they do it very well. What else can you really ask for from contractors. He's organized and a person of integrity. I liked that he sent a Google chart with supplies to purchase that we could work together that helped me figure out what kind of parts and tiles to purchase. Great experience and our bathrooms are amazing."

"McGee construction recently insulated, dry walled, and added electrical outlets my garage. They were quick and efficient in completing the project. It was a pleasure working with Cade who coordinated everything and was very hands on making sure everything was to our liking. Cade was very hands on making sure things were kept at a certain standard. We got quotes from 5 other companies and McGee Construction was the company we ultimately decided to go with because they are very fairly priced and overall just had good vibes when talking with them. We definitely do not regret our choice and would recommend them for anyone looking to start a new project for their home."

"It went very well. The contractor was very knowledgeable, professional and personable. She oversaw everything very well and communicated with me regularly. The work was completed on time, even a bit early. The house looked very beautiful and updated after the work was completed."

"It’s hard to find an expert contractor that is also honest. John ensures his team produces high quality work. He’s there everyday to make sure it’s done right. The job was done expeditiously despite that his team was in high demand. It was much less stressful for us with his process to get everything delivered before the actual construction began. We love our new area so much that we hired him for our two bathrooms upstairs next."

Customers say: True professional

"Laguna Bay Development just completed a second story deck rebuild for us a short time ago. We could not be happier and are pleased to recommend this Contractor. We had already spoken with three Contractors regarding this project when we were lucky enough to find David, the owner/Contractor from Laguna Bay Development. David is very knowledgeable and has a team of skilled team members who arrived on time, did a quality job and even cleaned up after themselves. Additionally, David’s fees are very competitive, the work was completed on time and David’s word is golden. Thank you David and Team, for an exceptional job! Marilyn & Chris H."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

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 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.

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.

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.
