"Bill from Tropicana was amazing. His company offers what every home owner desires in the contractor they hire. Knowledgeable and experienced, prompt and courteous, Bill was meticulous in every aspect of my project. From planning, installation and clean up, every detail was handled with care. I always felt comfortable leaving him alone in my house. He was even good with my dogs! Last but not least he made my project affordable. I received a BEAUTIFUL tiled shower for "pennies" more than one of those prefabricated inserts. I am lucky to have hired him, and would give a verbal recommendation to anyone considering his services."

"I could not ask for a better contractor than Norm Bloxham and his team. In fact, I was so happy with the service they provide that I not only used them to build a large custom home for my husband and I twelve years ago, I used them again to work on this very complicated custom buildout of our new condo. Norm Bloxham and my Foreman, Jesse Cueto, went above and beyond on this very difficult project. The level of professionalism Norm and his team bring to the table is excellent from start to finish. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top notch contractor."

"The service provider was pleasant, professional and very responsive.  It's always a nightmare to experience a natural disaster but Drimax was sympathetic and managed to calm me down.  The response time was very good considering the fire took place 2 days before Christmas and he did get some crews out there on Christmas Eve.  They mainly put dehumidifiers the first two days (keep in mind it was Christmas Eve).  This didn't entirely make sense to me to have dehumidifiers running while the wet insulation was still there, but I have seen emergency restoration crews do this before so it must be protocal.  In short, I am grateful to the gentleman who gave up his Christmas Eve to help me out.  This is the best restoration crew I have used (sadly I have used 3 over the years).

"The end result is everything that I had hoped for.  The tile work and grout is excellent, as are the roof and wall repair and painting.  When I returned to the house weekly, the crews were very friendly and were working very hard.  The workers voluntarily fed the stray cats for me, replaced air conditioner filters after removing the floor tiles, and tried very hard to keep my house clean.  
     The only suggestion I  have  is  that the contractor give the owner more updates on the progress and any issues/questions that arise during the process, especially when the owner has relocated to out of town family during a  4+ week remodel.   
   Overall, I am very pleased with the work and how quickly they were able to start.  I would reccomend this contractor for any remodeling job, and would hire him again.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

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.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.
