"Great work. Needed to have this work done months ago. This very nice young man showed up when he said he would and fixed my kitchen cabinets in a day’s work. Will highly recommend him to anyone."
"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."
"Professional and went beyond my expectations. I was very happy with my experience with Ebenezer Faife Painting Service. They were here when the said they would be and did an excellent job. They cleaned up and did the little extras to make it a great experience."
"If I could give this team 10 stars, I would. I hired them to build a custom headboard from a picture I provided. From start to finish, the customer service has been a dream. This team is thorough, precise, consultative, creative and incredibly pleasant to work with. My husband mapped out the measurement specs for the headboard including a space at the bottom where we could feed our electrical wires. Although it was a bit of an unusual request (definitely more function vs form), the team nailed it. I couldnâ  t be more happy with the finished product. Thank you!!!!"
"Excellent upholstery job on vintage sofa and Danish mid century chairs. Edwin is very professional in his communication, courteous, and reasonable with pricing. We could not be more pleased, and would definitely use his services again."
"Jesus did a fantastic job! He replaced damaged wood framing for me around a basement window, reinstalled the window and did a beautiful job of trimming the window with PVC. Will definitely use his services again!"
"Its hard to find a good carpenter in Miami if you don't know anyone but Robert is great to work with. Honest, capable and approachable for "odd" projects."
"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."
When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project.
Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.
It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.
Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them.
Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.
