"I am 100% satisfied. From the very beginning, Howard demonstrated his committment to the project. It involved gutting two kitchens down to the studs, gutting bedrooms, installing new cabinets, installing kitchen fixtures (dishwasher, sink, garbage disposal), installing all new solid wood doors including locks, installing windows, insulation, a concrete sidewalk, a new exterior staircase, electrical work including recessed lighting and new outlets, refinishing the hardwood floors throughout. I’m probably leaving out some work but this is a list of the bulk of the work. My wife and I are 100% satisfied with the quality of Howard’s work. I am impressed with how clean and organized the work area was at the end of each workday. Howard’s team of workers were professional, courteous, and helpful in solving work related issues. Debris that was stored temporarily in our garage was also carefully organized and consolidated. When the debris was hauled away, the garage floor was swept and tidy. Howard is easy to talk to and he is flexible with changes that I made to the scope along the way. For example, after his workers began demo work I asked to reconfigure a closet opening. The next day his crew was making the change and it turned out better than I had planned. Howard completed the job on time and on budget. There was not even one small “extra” charge to the original contract. In fact, he did extra work that was not in the Scope. For example, a wood winder stair sustained damage at some point in time – before I bought the building. I lived with the damaged stair because I did not think it could be fixed without ripping up a large portion of the staircase. I didn’t even ask to have it repaired but Howard brought it to my attention and said that he would figure out a way to repair it. He made a small opening underneath the stair, in the room below the staircase to gain access. This attention to detail really set Howard apart. The stairway is now 100% back to its original condition when it was built, probably about 90 to 100 years ago. I started rehabbing small (1 to 4 unit) buildings in about 1985. I’ve used many contractors over the years so I can say with a reasonable level of real life experience, that Redstone is the best contractor that I’ve worked with. I recommend Howard without reservation and without any qualifiers."

Customers say: Super punctual

"Angelo Pecoraro, the owner of A.P. Builder, was a pleasure to work with from start to finish on our major remodeling project of adding a sunroom to our home. Out of many contractors I called to get an estimate, he was the only one willing to provide options to have the project fit our budget. Once we agreed to move forward, he worked diligently with the architect and village to get the permits finalized (which is a difficult task in my town). Once the work started, he provided almost daily updates of the work that will be completed and any anticipated inspections (which we passed easily). He also reached out himself to finalize details from big items like windows to small ones like the molding. The result was a beautiful sunroom and deck which I receive compliments on regularly. Do yourself a favor and for your next major home remodel/renovation work with Angelo and A.P. Builder!"

"Chester and his team were very respectful of working in our home while we were also working from home. They were able to diagnose and fix our plumbing issue, including completely replacing all the cabinets that had been damaged beyond repair. Job was done in a timely manner - especially given the extent of the water damage. Chester and his team were the only contractors who agreed to take on the repairs, after we had several contractors/companies say the job was too big for them. 10/10 would hire again (though hopefully we won't need to!)"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.
