"This project was the an awesome and fun process! From experience I haven't had a lot of faith in general contractors. Larry Rowland is the best contractor I have ever encountered! He went above and beyond to make sure the project was to perfection. He made sure everything was as I expected and made sure I was completely happy before he left! He is so easy to work with which was a pleasure compared to other projects. My husband and I have other projects in the works and I am so excited to work with Larry and his team again in the near future. I love the way it has changed my kitchen! I love, love, love it!!! Thank you Larry your the best!!"

"Alex and his team were beyond wonderful to work with. EVERYTHING they did was executed beautifully, on time, and with so much respect and care. Alex was so communicative and easy to work with through the entire scope of work. As an interior designer, I have worked with so many contractors, subs, and tradesman. Alex has been the best by far. Highly recommend his team for both their competency and integrity."

"We were very please after our kitchen renovations were done but we did not consent to pictures of our kitchen being placed on line. Within the 3-year warranty, we had to contact Pedro, the owner several times concerning a pipe under the sink that was leaking and the microwave vent. After the three-year warranty was up, he was non-responsive. We left several messages on the companies’ voicemail and sent numerous emails concerning installation of new appliances. During the process of having new appliances installed, Lowe’s informed us, that our water line was not up to code and the microwave was not measured correctly. Therefore, as a result of the waterline not being up to code, the refrigerator and dishwasher could not be installed. I do not recommend doing business with Hdez Cabinets. Thanks TR"

"They were very professional and not pushy at all. Actually called them after hours to make some major repairs and they responded immediately and was there the very next day. By far one of the best contractor experiences I've had. Please see the before and after pictures below"

"Everything went great. They made sure to cover furniture so that our things didn’t get dusty from drywall work, and kept the work area tidy. The project of widening our closet door took the estimated amount of time and the cost matched the estimate. We are very happy with the final outcome!"

"We hired Vered Renovations for 2 projects. One was to create a new opening in the ceiling of our dressing room into a small attic that accessed the roof our house where our HVAC was located. He also installed folding stairs to replace the ladder system we had been using. It's a very small room and for ten years no one else would even attempt to help us solve the issue. But Moran Vered did a wonderful job. He also helped us get kick drawers installed beneath our kitchen and bathroom cabinets for extra storage. We are impressed with the quality of work, the professionalism, and wonderful communication. We highly recommend Vered Renovations!"

"Harrison and his crew were wonderful and helpful! We hired Harrison after a broad search for contractors and we found him to be the most professional and had fair pricing. We had a lot of work to be done, but he helped prioritize projects so as to not overwhelm our home during the construction! He was timely and communicated any pricing changes (materials have gone up - no fault to him) and made sure we were comfortable and in the loop on progress. Our new kitchen and bathroom are gorgeous and we’re thrilled with our service!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.
