"General Contractor of exceptional caliber. Thank you for your hard and remarkable work, dedication to delivering high-quality results, My husband and I loved the remodel of our living room and kitchen. It exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended."
"The Prime Contractor was amenable to making contractual changes before the project began; this was greatly beneficial to assuaging customer concerns. The majority of sub-contractors performed assigned tasks without incident, all without any accidents—and all were insured. The final product resulted in a detached garage with framing, roofing, gutters, doors, windows, electrical and plumbing that are worthy or show-casing first-rate craftsmanship. I am extremely pleased with the final result and would readily work with this company again on future projects."
"I should start by saying that I was on a very tight budget which really did not match with my dreams. I had many disappointments with contractors in the past - lost my historic home in Fort Lauderdale and $90,000.00 because of unscrupulous contractors. Long story. Anyway, I had understandable fears as I embarked on the venture of updating my tiny home in Ocala. Dan Spaulding was my first contact. We spent quite some time on the planning part of the work - MANY emails back and forth exchanging ideas. He was always patient with me. Took me shopping for tile and flooring and granite. Eased my panic attacks, made excellent suggestions, and made many trips to the house during the time the work was done. Tom Steppen and his assistant were the hands-on guys. You've heard the expression "jack of all trades, master of none" ? Well Tom is a MASTER of all trades, in my opinion. The quality of his work was excellent. He and his assistant, Jay, were perfectionists through all phases of the work. They had subcontractors come in for some plumbing and electrical work. The only downside was really caused by me. I made several changes as we went along and drove Tom crazy, which created friction between us. It's really hard to anticipate certain things until the work is in progress and then you get ideas. Too many visits to Houzz kept my mind whirling. So try to have everything nailed down before work starts - and then stay off of HGTV and Houzz until the work is completed. I am exceedingly pleased with the outcome and highly recommend Steppen and Spaulding. "
"Very good, on time arrival, completed job, good house keeping. Also fix front door as some settling happened. Overall very good job and would highly recommend this contractor"
"Excellent, amazing! They were on time ,actually ahead of schedule. They were professional, they cleaned up,no additional costs just a great company. The owner who is very nice was present for the entire job. Every time I called or E-mailed they responded immediately. By far the best experience I have ever had with a contractor or any company. The Roof has made a huge difference in our home air comfort and the electric costs are down 20-30%."

"Our toilet seat snapped off and needed to be replaced. We thought this might be something we could do ourselves (we do not consider ourselves to be 'handy'), but to be prepared, we researched a few contractors. We sent a message through Angie's List asking if they could install a toilet seat (soft close seat for a Toto Dual Flush toilet). We received a quick response from Frank Pellerito asking us to provide details in order for them to send us a price quote. We appreciate the promptness. However, after contacting Toto online, we received the information we needed to tackle the job ourselves. "

"We initially went to their showroom location and spoke with the owner Zsolt Kuntarics. An appointment was made for him to provide measurements and a cost estimate. He arrived on time for taking the measurements and providing us an estimate of cost. We accepted the estimate and he prepared templates of the existing countertops. He ordered the product just before a major holiday. When the product slabs arrived, it was fabricated based on the templates. When the fabrication was completed, we were contacted for a one day installation. The installation included the removal and disposal of the old countertops. All of the countertop pieces were leveled and adhesive was used to secure them. I believe the actual time of the installation took about 4-6 hours. All debris was cleaned up and final payment was made before the install staff departed. Having had Silestone countertops in a prior location made the choice of the same product very easy. Zsolt and all of the staff were great. And yes, I would definitely use them again as well as to continue to refer them to others. Other contractors have been in our house and have noticed the superb work that was done. They did a really great job. "

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.
Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry.
Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.
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.
