"They gave a very competitive bid and we were very professional throughout the process. The crew showed up on time took great care in preventing spray drift and overspray and did a great cleanup job afterwards. The crew also finished early. I would definitely hire Morales Construction again."
"Very good. He was so easy to work with. Always polite, always available, even at night and on weekends. He is one of the greatest contractors I have ever had the opportunity to employ. The man is awesome!!! He makes sure you are happy with every little detail. He goes out of his way to make sure you are completely satisfied !!!!!!!"
Unfortunately, I have to update my original review due to some issues with the product after the first large rainstorm. I contacted D and D immediately after the first rain to advise them the patio was leaking where the aluminum roof connected to the house. They did send someone out quickly, and they sealed the connection. After the next rain the problem still existed. Again, I contacted them immediately. They sent another guy out during a rainstorm and he witnessed first hand the leaking patio. They could not make a repair that day due to the weather, so they came back another day and again tried to fix the problem. No such luck. I continued to call them after each rainstorm because the patio continued to leak. I was told they were tired of sending men out. After about 6 months of no results and my frustration, I asked for my money back and for D and D to remove the structure since they could not seem to fix the problem. Cary, the owner, told me it was my roof leaking and not his screen patio installation. He said he was sure it was my roof so if I could prove it wasn't my roof then he would address returning my money and removing the structure. I called my roofer for an inspection, since my roof is fairly new and still under warranty. My roofer said it was their installation causing the issues. My shingles were air tight and secure. I sent Cary pictures my roofer took and the invoice. He did pay my roofer for the inspection but still did not think it was D and D's problem. He insisted that he needed to send his own roofer. I again took additional time off to accommodate this appointment. The roofer he sent out also said the issue was caused by the way the work to re-install the enclosure panels was done. D&D's roofer (the one they had chosen to inspect their work) informed us D&D had broken the seal by prying out the metal strip when replacing the fascia and that was causing the leakage every time it rained. In response to this, Cary said he would pay for the proper repairs to be done to eliminate the leak. On the day before all this was finally scheduled, Cary told us he would not authorize payment for the repairs without his foreman being there witnessing what work was required to stop the leaks. While I can understand why Cary would want his foreman to see first hand what work was going to be done, it was somewhat disconcerting to find this out late in the afternoon the day before my roofer was scheduled to show up and start the work. With this new twist, I had to miss another two hours of work as I needed to be at the house when the two contractors showed up to determine if Cary was going to be liable for the repairs. Understand, these repairs required by the roofer were estimated to cost $1800 and I did not want any more issues with who was going to pay for the botched installation. On a positive note for D&D, the foreman had pointed out three or four areas wherein the install was done improperly and going forward, they received some very good advice .Cary did finally agree to pay my roofer to do the repairs that were needed after his (Cary's) foreman called Cary from my house (the job site) after meeting with my roofer and being shown exactly what D&D had done incorrectly on their install that was the root of the problem.
Thru all this, it was very disappointing to me that Cary never stepped foot on my property to check the quality of his crew but instead continued to say the leaks were due to my roof being faulty. When I suggested Cary come by and meet with us, the idea was rejected. He was not very nice and he was accusatory. There was constant communication with Monica at D and D and she relayed all my messages and emails to Cary. I was very patient, it took over 6 months and numerous repair efforts along with being told it was my roof and I needed to prove it wasn't. Please note that from day 1 the patio/screen enclosure looked great! The issue only was noticed after the first rainstorm and continued each and every time it rained. It took 6 months to get this issue resolved.
The initial install was "finished" the day before Easter, but it took until the first week in December, countless phone calls, many, many hours of missed work and an enormous amount of stress and frustration, but it is finally done,
"We hired Martinez to restore our floors and staircase. They are professional and extremely knowledgeable when it comes to wood floors. Honest man and will charge you what he needs to do a good job. I have been on the construction industry for a few a years now, I know what to look for in a company when I am doing a remodeling. I can tell you that Mr. Martinez answered every single one of the questions I threw at him with concrete answers, demonstrating his knowledge and experience. He was on time to provide the estimate and took his time to go over the floors in detail. Fellow homeowners need to pay attention to this, if a contractor takes the time to explain you things and review the job with you, it's a good sign. I also have to say that this was the third company we asked an estimate from. The first company wanted to replaced the whole floor, which I knew it was a rip off. The second one gave us an insane price like if money was grown on trees. However, Martinez was very reasonable in price and what we like was that since the first time he saw the project, he told us that the floor will look like new with a hard sanding. We moved everything out of the house, my suggestion is to hire a moving company, that way you make sure your furniture and belongings are well take care of. The crew is also very nice and respectful, will pay attention to detail, and will clean after they finish. The sanding is the worst part, but it's not something you can't tolerate; they have machines that make little dust, trust me, we stayed in the house and my wife is allergic to everything. When that part is done, everything else is a breeze. At the beginning, we were going to leave it natural, but my wife decided she wanted to stain the floor. So we chose and Ebony color, very gorgeous. We really like it a lot. The job took around 7 days to be completed and the floor really look amazing. We are very content with our new-looking hardwood flooring and we really appreciate everything Martinez floor did to make it happen. We'll be referring them to friend and family for sure."
"We were worried working with a contractor long distance. We live in Illinois but our condo we wanted remodeled is on Key Largo. Our worries were alleviated by Eric's diligent monitoring of the work's progress and keeping in frequent contact with us. Eric was able to not only keep us updated but provide us with choices of materials throughout the job. His advice was invaluable as we picked color combinations and various styles. Eric provided us with internet links to look at the materials and compare the different products. Eric even obtained samples and put the samples into photo layouts so we could see how the colors went together. The end result was remarkable! We could not be happier with how our kitchen and baths were transformed. The rental agent who handles our property was so impressed with the results he plans to recommend Project Masters to other owners who are considering remodeling. The price was not the lowest of the estimates we obtained but was fair. I have always found that you get what you pay for - what we got was a remarkably well done job, unusual attention to detail, and the job was completed on schedule! The last point is especially important because it allowed us to return our unit to the rental pool as quickly as possible. We highly recommend Project Masters and are already planning some additional work with them for our condo. "
"A new company still in the learning phase. Hard working crew. Did not quite finish in one day but will return tomorrow to finish one small area and haul away some additional cuttings. Thought price was fair, I would suggest detailed written estimate of work to be done."
"When we decided to redo our kitchen in April of 2012, we knew what we wanted fixed, our budget and that's about it. We started talking to contractors, kitchen design centers and researching ideas. We quickly realized we were in WAY over our heads. A lot of places offer free design services if you buy all of your materials through them. We didn't want to be tied down. We didn't want a complete tear down to the studs, either. Homemade Design to the rescue! First of all the price was an absolute steal for the service provided. Amanda and co. Listened to what we wanted and came up with inovative,functional and beautiful solutions. Our house is old. We wanted to keep that 1920s feel, but still have a dishwasher, granite countertops and stainless appliances! Amanda had the brilliant idea of only replacing the bottom cabinets. She also gave me excellent instructions on how to refinish my existing cabinets so they look like new. This was a perfect solution for US. Homemade Design gave us ideas for layout, cabinets, lighting, wall paint, appliances, furniture, countertops, backsplash, faucets, sink,and cusions for built in. She would have recommended flooring if we wanted,but we didn't. Now, Amanda is more like a consultant...( I actually called her my kitchen remodel therapist). You still are ultimately responsible for the plan and what works for you. If your measurements are off (like mine were) that's on you. I was adament about no island and no microwave over the stove and so she didn't put those in the design. Some suggestions were not my style. And I said so. Honestly, if I picked out my own kitchen it would be so safe: white subway tile or something. Amanda gave me the guts to mix patterns and create something spectacular! It took almost a year to complete ( contractors fault) We did a lot of work ourselves. We bought the cabinets, backsplash tile, light fixtures, table and banquette cusions through Homemade Design at a great discount, we checked!! If you try shopping for any part of your kitchen, the volume of choices can be overwhelming. We loved having Amanda narrow it down for us. Communication was through email, mostly. She never took longer than three business days to respond to my million questions or concerns. Awesome. 5 months later, my kitchen is a dream come true. And I owe it all to Homemade Design! "
Did a good job, providing 2 layouts to choose from. Completed design and sent email and snail mail paint and furniture samples in a little over a month from starting the process. The previous estimate was 2-3 weeks so it wasn't so late. My only disappointment was the design was not for the complete room. They told me that the missing area was considered an entry way or hallway and could be designed for an additional fee. I did not want to pay an additional and accepted their explanation, but on second thought, in my opinion, it isn't really separate. There is a large archway one-third of the way into the room, but I have never considered it as two separate rooms and no one visiting my home has ever mentioned it. Every room has an entrance. I wouldn't call the way to get into a room as a separate room. Other than that, I would say a got a great deal overall.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.
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.
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.
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.
A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.
