"Julio did a great job and we really like how our shower conversion turned out. He did quality work throughout the project from the beginning to end. Installed a custom shower pan where our tub once was added new board and did all tile work as well as installing grab bars and a bench. He kept us informed with updates on the project as he went. Julio particularly has a passion for getting all the details right. We would definitely use him again."
"Andy was very communicative. He was able to come and give a more than fair quote for the work I needed done. What I truly appreciated was his determination to provide high-quality work. He used top-notch materials and made sure everything was sturdy and secure. The repaired baseboard now looks even better than before, thanks to his attention to detail. I have since hired him for some painting I needed done and he also has been keeping up my lawn. He and his crew have earned my business for life."
"Excellent Crown Molding Installation. I hired Don to put up crown molding in our newly constructed townhome in Lutz. He did an excellent job and it looks great. There are a few difficult areas and angles, which he handled perfectly. Don was very punctual and responsive. He didn't make a mess and cleaned up after himself. The cost was very reasonable, particularly for the quality. I highly recommend and would not hesitate to hire again. Angi should provide the ability to rate vendors on whether or not they respond, whether they provide a quote when requested, etc. This is a huge problem area for Angi. Don did exactly what he said he was going to do exactly when he said he was going to do it."
"Shieffields was great to work with. Very professional. They follow thru with what they promise. They do a walk thru when finished to make sure you're happy and the work was done to your satisfaction. We were VERY HAPPY with our bathroom remodel."
"The Pro Juan was knowledgeable and was able to perfectly replace both door frames. The communication was great and my tenants are finally happy with the door."
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.
Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.
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.
Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.
Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.
