"I recently hired Norpro to gut and rehab my bathroom and install new vinyl plank kitchen floor. Norman came and quickly grasped the essentials of the project. His estimate is the most reasonable one out of the 3 bids I got. They started on the day they promised, not a day of delay. The contractors working on the project are very skillful and professional. They finished the whole project in two weeks and the results look great. I'll hire them again in a heart beat. I recommended them to all my friends comtemplating home renovation."

"I can't say enough about A P Builders and how absolutely wonderful they have been from start to finish. We completely gutted and remodeled our home and Angelo was upfront, honest, timely, and everything that was contracted was done to perfection. We had crew there every day from start to finish. He started on time and finished on time. Any change orders were handled professionally and solutions were found for any unforeseen challenges due to the age of my home. I highly recommend AP Builders for any of your home improvement needs."

"This was my first experience with remodeling and hiring a contractor so am not sure how much of my disappointment is because of unreal expectations.   I had made the assumption that I had hired him as the contractor but found that I was having to be the go-between for the vendors from whom I purchased the materials and him.   While the bathroom looks updated, I was very disappointed with the quality of the work.  The delivery of the tiles took three attempts because he didn't want to be responsible for having to bring them up to my unit and the company only delivered curbside but ultimately he did it.   There was also a tear in the drywall from where they removed the original plastic floor molding and they just painted over it initially.   When I brought it to his attention, he threw some mud over it and then repainted but there is still a noticeable bump on the wall.  I didn't have new drywall installed on a couple of walls so expected minor visible imperfections but was surprised at the number of places where there had been grout or spackle used and it wasn't smoothed out well out before it was painted over.   When he initially installed the medicine cabinet and lightening, it was a little lower than I thought it would be and the light was off center over the cabinet.  When I asked if the cabinet could be raised a little and the light centered, I was told that it couldn't be done.  So I checked with a friend who ensured me that it could be based on what I wanted done and told me what to tell him.  When I provided that info, I was then told that it wasn't that it couldn't be done but that it would take a little longer to do and came by and did it.  The tile work is okay but some of the tiles are uneven and the grout is heavier in some places than others.  Also, as he was wrapping up the job, I noticed that he had decided to use three pieces of the bath tiles to complete the molding on the wall between the tub and sink which was different than the floor tile.  When I asked why, he mentioned that he had run out of the floor tiles but didn't think to tell me when he had me order more of the bath tiles so that it could be finished correctly.   I also noticed that because the molding tiles that run along the wall with the toilet and sink weren't measured correctly, the cabinet for the sink does not sit flush against that wall and the caulking that he used around the sink has started cracking and it has only been less than a month.   Overall the bathroom does look better than the old one but I am wondering if this one will last as long.

"I called Salvador out to repair damage to my bathroom left from another contractor. I'm beyond elated and happy with the repair work. His workers showed up on time each day. They covered my stairs to prevent dirt and damage. Each day they were at my home, they took away all garbage which saved me from having it sit around to garbage pickup. I'm so happy with his work, I've contacted him to do a total demolition of my master bathroom. His rates are fair and reseasonsble."

"I was acting as Project Manager for clients/friends performing a major renovation. Howard was responsive, professional, and punctual. I left him an initial voicemail which he returned within the day. He then immediately scheduled an appointment to see the property before receiving the architectural drawings. He spent over an hour with me walking through the site and explaining potential challenges on site. He then drove me to a property around the corner where he had completed e a major renovation (it looked beautiful). Ultimately, we went with a lower bid taking a gamble on inevitable change orders. 
I work with a lot of general contractors on major projects. Howard was a consummate professional. I'd recommend him as your go-to guy. I hope to work with him soon.

"Quality and craftsmanship was excellent. I trusted Chester, the project manager completely. Our house was over 90 years old and he went literally "above and beyond" to help us when unrelated issues happened to come up with our boiler. He employs very talented subcontractors that he has worked with for years and who helped contribute to the smooth completion of our project. He has excellent taste and was extremely helpful in offering his opinion when we decided to make some changes. We were very happy with the look and finish of our garage- we re-used brick from the demolition and he was able to make the exterior match our existing house perfectly. He is attentive and available to answer questions and personally inspected all of the work as it was completed"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

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.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.
