"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."
"Ron came by soon after I requested an estimate. He was very efficient, came at the time we agreed upon, and offered options as to how to best do the job which was to repair my driveway pavers and refresh the driveway, walkway, and lanai pavers. Ron and his son worked efficiently to restore the pavers with an end result with them looking better than new. I would highly recommend this team as they did a wonderful job plus stayed within the original estimate. Ron works in other surfaces as well and will be returning here for another task of sealing a tiled shower. He is a man of many skills."
"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."
"If there were six stars to choose from, that would be the rating I would give for the service provided. They were efficient, on time, and had a very professional and friendly personality, doing an amazing job repairing my ceiling. I will be using them for future handyman projects!"
"The worker was easy going, efficient and gave me a reasonable estimate ahead of the work. He arrived as scheduled and completed the work quickly. I will continue to use him for other handyman jobs."
"Contractor was on time for the quote. This was a difficult job involving the demolition of a dock that was under water during part of the day, the retro-fitting of deck supports partially under water, the repair of a boat lift involving dis-assembly and aluminum welding, and then reassembly, building a new deck and painting. Vincent and his crew took a week longer than planned, partially due to the Thanksgiving holiday. They also did more than originally agreed due to issues they found during the work. I would highly recommend them for any job."
Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.
Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.
Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.
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.
Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.
