"Perfect. They did excellent work. Very professional and very clean as well. I don't think another carpenter could have done what needed to be done as well as Carlos did. I am extremely pleased."

"Nothing but great things to say about this company. They replaced a door frame that was destroyed by my cat and painted some other door frames and all I can say is that it came out perfect. Yuri and Andre did an amazing job, showed up right on time (early actually) and were incredibly friendly. Keep up the good work! Highly recommended!"

"I asked Edwin at Orozco to re-upholster an ottoman and make me some pillows. Edwin was very responsive and a delight to work with. He worked with me to clarify what I wanted and turned the project around very quickly, at a very reasonable price. I will use him again if I have other projects and will gladly recommend him to all my friends. An A+ experience!"

"We have had an extremely excellent experience with Paradise! We had a complete redo of a bedroom which began with gutting the room of old celing, paneled walls and old flooring, with a complete remodel of the celing and bedroom including framing new walls; installation of insulation, drywall hung and walls painted. The bedroom was completely finished with trim and crown molding along with trim around the bedroom windows, a new bedroom door and closet door were placed with new knobs and hardware. A new celing light was installed along with smaller details like new covers for the electric outlets and light switches. Other jobs have included a revamp of an outdoor area by placing stones throughout the entire area with river rocks and pea pebbles to clean up a unusable dirty sandy area in the back and side yard and laying down a stepping stone pathway from one side to the other. We also had a very small carport made over a concrete parking area on our driveway."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

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.

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.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.
