"Contractor provided excellent consultation on the type of upgrades and improvements we wanted to make during our project. Jeff was excellent at suggesting improvements to our bathroom shower, entrance and new vanity and cabinets. He offered excellent contractors that we used for new granite countertops for kitchen and bath areas. He also met us at Floor and Decor store and assisted our selection of new bathroom tile and flooring that was used to replace our ugly old carpet in our living room, dining room and hallway areas. Contractor coordinated scheduling of tile, cabinet, plumbing and countertop installations with all sub contractors selected for our project. We are extremely happy with the results of their work!"
"Arce Remodeling was an excellent contractor! Jesse and his guys did amazing work. He made a few suggestions during our "design" phase, which we hadn't even considered, and it turned out better than we could have imagined. I will definitely recommend Jesse to anyone who asks."
"Sergei and his partner did an amazing job doing exactly as I asked for. I got my exterior fencing stained/painted and got one of my interior rooms painted."

"recently worked with Raul-Blue Bay Construction Group on a renovation 4 bedrooms/ 3 baths and .35 acre to become a Wellness Resort Bradenton. I couldn’t be happier with the results. Their expertise in electrical work was exceptional, and they handled everything with professionalism and attention to detail. One of the things I appreciated most was their willingness to listen to my concerns and provide thoughtful recommendations. They didn’t just stick to the basics—they were open to new trends and innovative solutions, ensuring my project was both modern and functional. Whether it was smart home upgrades, energy-efficient lighting, or the latest electrical innovations, they were knowledgeable and adaptable. Their pricing was fair and transparent, with no hidden costs. Throughout the entire process, they operated with integrity, kept me informed, and completed the work on time and within budget. The team was punctual, respectful, and maintained a clean workspace, making the entire experience stress-free.

"We checked out several contractors for our kitchen and bathroom remodel, but GHI was the only one who respected our budget and worked in some nice extra touches we did not think we could afford. The incredibly talented crew was courteous, punctual, and always cleaned up every night before leaving. Our kitchen & bath look fantastic, and we look forward to hiring them again!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
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.
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.
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.
To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.
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.
