We look forward to building long-term relationships with our clients and guarantee your satisfaction!

"I couldn't be happier with the results of this project from start to finish! I have needed to replace the baseboards and trim in the house for a while and I am so glad I selected Mikola LLC for the job. The initial quote was very reasonable and Mikalai worked with me to arrange the job around my scheduling. He coordinated with me to select the baseboards and trim and brought all of the supplies. He and his wife are quite the team, friendly, efficient, and incredibly talented. They worked room to room, carefully moving furniture and professionally installing, caulking, and painting each area. Their attention to detail shows! Throughout the project, they carefully ensured everything was neat and clean. I am so excited to have such incredible trim and baseboards I can be proud of again. I have several additional projects I am considering and I plan to have Mikola LLC help me to ensure they are done right. I highly recommend Mikola LLC."

DBA: K Jack Ross & Associates Inc. Florida State License# CGC060718 (General Contractor). Silver Service award winners for 2011, 2012, and 2013. We are a family-owned business (father and two sons). On small jobs we do most of the building ourselves (we have two to three additional employees) and we use sub-contractors for our major site work, electrical, plumbing, HVAC. On large projects we also sub-contract carpentry, masonry and concrete work. My sons and I act as project managers and superintendents on the larger projects and perform a good portion of the custom details ourselves. Most estimates are free. There are charges for emergencies--water damage, fire, smoke damage, etc.--and for estimates that require travel more than 100 miles away from Tampa. We offer Angie's List members a 5% discount on our already reasonable rates. Probably the most inportant aspect of our company is that we are builders and craftsmen first. The business part of the company is essential, but we believe a good product speaks for itself, We enjoy building; it is not just a job but a way of life. The roots run deep: my grandfather, the late Denton O. Skiles, was a stonemason who once did a large job for the great architect Frank Lloyd Wright. My grandfather instilled the sense of craftmanship in me at a very early age. We began as a custom masonry company in 1979 and in 1998 began working as general contractors. We have had projects in newspapers and magazines--we had one project in Southern Living. The last few years, we have had a number of jobs that we took over for fired contractors, jobs that homeowners tried themselves and were overwhelmed, and some jobs that just required a little more expertise than the designer and owners originally anticipated. Because of all our experience, we also skilled in historical work and custom restoration. Whenever possible we build "Green," and we strive to build structures that are harmonious with the environment.

"Jack and his crew drew up plans and built a beautiful ‘24 X ‘28 detached garage to match the existing home, which was built in 1925. He is meticulous in the planning and construction. His guys are top-notch professional and friendly. I highly recommend K. Jack Ross & Associates."

"Construction is a ridiculously stressful business… I hired Nick and his wife to get the job done on my bathroom that I know would be timeless, and I would never have to remodel again… I went with a marble tile, black and white feel.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

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.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.
