"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."

"I live out of state and had an investment property that i needed to sell.  Originally I called a couple of my contractor friends to quote/perform the jobs and they left me stranded.  I turned to Angie's list I found Sead here on Angie's list because of his #1 ranking and called him for a quote.  He responded immediately, arranged to quote the job the next day, visited the job site and gave me a fair quote and time frame to complete the job.  Once i was ready to commence, I called him during the Christmas Holidays and he managed to start work within a day or two of my call.  Upon inspection by the city, it was determined i needed additional work to get the home compliant to sell, I called Sead again and he was able to quote and commence the job immediately thereafter.  
Thanks to his professionalism, and quality of his work, the house passed certification and i was able to get it sold.  
Sead solved the problems i've been dreading for the last 10yrs.  Thank you for your professionalism and craftsmanship.

Customers say: True professional

"After getting new wood floors installed, Jesus installed custom baseboards upstairs and down. He was professional, meticulous, honest and straightforward with every detail. He took special time and care to make sure it was perfect. It's hard to find people who not only do carpentry, but are experts at mouldings. Jesus is, in my opinion, an expert. He also created custom built bookshelves for our bedroom and we could not be happier with his work and work ethic. We will use him for all of our projects from now on. There is a huge difference between a handiman and a craftsman. Jesus is a CRAFTSMAN."

"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

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

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.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.
