"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."

"Work was drawn out due to our vacation and several unexpected out-of-state funerals. Communication with CGC office staff was 2.5 (on 5 point scale). A payment schedule - when and how much - should have been explained in advance. The work: removed steel bathtub and tile surround, plumbing relocated, new cement board, fancy tile, new plumbing fixtures and glass shower doors installed. Wallpapered dining room walls had light plaster coat first applied to smooth out existing orange peel texture. Excellent attention to pattern matching. Paper waste was minimized."

"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.

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.

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.
