"I cannot begin to say enough about Don's craftsmanship. When my wife and I encountered an emergency remodel that was necessary to complete on a short turnaround in our son's nursery, Don answered the call. His quote to install a bay window seat with built in cubby holes for our son's books matched his exact quote, work was completed on time, the work met our expectations to the letter, and Don was excellent on communicating the entire time. I highly his services recommend."

"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.

"We would highly recommend Dunier Rangel’s Gift LLC for your remodeling needs. He listened patiently to my ideas, then worked tirelessly to execute them into reality! His attention to detail was greatly appreciated - as was the way he cleaned the worksite each night before they left. Was impressed with the knowledge and work ethic of his crew - Alex & son Nathaniel."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

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.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces.
