We are committed to excellence in every aspect of our business. We uphold a standard of integrity bound by fairness, honesty and personal responsibility. Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests, and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"We used Angi’s List to find ACC Cabinets, AKA Lester. After some back and forth with other recommended contractors, we agreed on Lester, mostly because of all the positive reviews. Let me tell you, the reviews were right! Not only did he give us the best price and save us money on the job, but he also provided contacts for other super reliable contractors for plumbing, drywall, and electric for the other small jobs on the projects. He actually called these contractors for us to ensure we were covered. I decided to GC the jobs myself since the two-bathroom projects were small and, of course, I was on a fixed budget. He delivered and installed the cabinets and provided two beautiful quartz countertops. I will follow-up with him for some additional items when we return next fall. Lester is reliable and fair and calls and texts you back! He’s a friendly guy who we thoroughly enjoyed working with. I would highly recommend him for your projects. "

"Even though this company has only been in business for one year, the quality of work from Nestor shows his 13 years experience. I recently had Nestor and his team in my home to do some finish work (baseboards, doors, door jams, and painting). The demo crew I had hired left Nestor and his team quite a mess (that we didn't expect), and Nestor handled it with complete professionalism. He explained everything for me in great detail and was polite, respectful, and informative. I will hire Nestor and his team again and look forward to working with him in the future."

With more than 20 years experience, High Wind Shutters has been providing exceptional Hurricane shutters and Impact Windows solutions for homeowners, condo associations and contractors in Southwestern Florida. Our experienced installers are on staff and fully insured. Which means you can be confident the job will be done right

"In the spring, we had Impact Resistant Windows installed by High Wind Shutters. We are extremely pleased with the results. The windows give us energy efficiency, storm protection as well as improving the appearance of our home. High Wind Shutters made the entire process easy. They provided an excellent experience from the setting of the consultation appointment through the installation. The sales consultant, Matt Thibodeau, was professional and knowledgeable offering helpful suggestions. The office staff was friendly and responsive to our questions. The installation team of Earl and Aiden were extremely hard working and did a wonderful job. We were impressed with their clean up efforts at the end of each work day. Based on our experience and having been in this business for a number of years, I would highly recommend High Wind Shutters because of their professionalism, quality products and attention to detail.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

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.

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.
