"Paul is fantastic to work with. I've worked with his company on several different projects over the past 5 years - kitchen remodel, front porch remodel, stairwell rebuild. His team is knowledgeable, responsive and good at what they do. Can't recommend him enough."

"I wholeheartedly recommend Norpro Services, and Mihai in particular! I needed to convert an empty second floor into a bathroom, bedroom and walk-in closet for my daughters. I had never done a build from scratch and I'm so thankful that I picked Mihai and Norpro for the job. The completed project is absolutely beautiful. His crew of subcontractors were professional, courteous and did really high quality work. Mihai has excellent project management skills, is a perfectionist about quality and taking the time to get things right, he's a good listener and also anticipated problems or challenges in advance, which saved us a ton of time. The project was completed on time, on budget, and I could not be happier with the final project. He is one of the best contractors I've ever worked with."

"I am so grateful to Grandview Construction for our beautiful, new kitchen and master shower! They also painted our entire first floor including the trim. Our experience with Jeremy and his wonderful crew was A+mazing! Their workmanship was excellent, and Jeremy was very communicative and responsive throughout the entire process. The crew was friendly, professional and clearly experts at what they do. One of them has almost 30 years of experience in the industry. Jeremy and his crew provided many helpful details about the project from start to finish and was quick to let us know if any issues arose. When they had to make any adjustments they explained the reasons and were very patient in answering all of our questions and since this was our very first kitchen remodel we had a lot of questions. The project was completed on time and stayed within the very fair competitive estimate he gave us in the beginning, and we could not be happier with the gorgeous finished product. We will work with them on any other project we might do on our home, and I would recommend Grandview Construction without any reservation to anyone who is looking for a dependable and honest general contractor to work on their house."

"Nermin was timely in bidding, starting and completing the project. This project was large and required working around a very strict work schedule as imposed by my condo association. He was informative when explaining why certain planned design options would have to be modified to accommodate an unknown issue discovered during the demolition process. Was accommodating when materials needed to be picked up, often offering to retrieve them on my behalf. Also, he made himself available to meet contractors when needed to perform specialized work outside the scope of his bid. Work site cleanup was great. No residual damage was noted upon project completion. I really enjoyed working with a Nermin and Sons."

"I don't even know where to begin... I am so incredibly pleased with every aspect of my experience with Redstone Builders. So much so, that we're already talking to them about some other work we'd like done on the interior of our house.
Howard, the owner, is great . From the moment my husband and I met him, it was clear that he doesn't play games like some other contractors. He listened to what we wanted, and made recommendations on what materials to use and what options would solve specific issues.
We are very price conscious, so Howard was transparent with us about the differences in cost between options. He let us know that the choice was always ours, and reassured us if the price wasn't in our comfort zone that we could revisit the plan and remove or adjust options to make it work. I can't stress what a relief this was, considering our experience with the previous contractor we'd contacted for a quote.
Before I go on to describe how happy I am with the work they did, first let me list out some of the other reasons why I can't say enough great stuff about Redstone:
  • + Communication with Howard was great - he answered questions and returned calls promptly.
  • + Punctuality was superb - Howard arrived when he said he would (the one time he was running behind, he called to let us know), and his crew was here every day that work was being done from 8-4 like clockwork.
  • + Other work they've done is great too - When we were considering Redstone, Howard gave us a list of porches they'd done to give us an idea of what they're capable of - let me just say wow. If his professionalism hadn't sold us, the quality of their work did.

Now, as for the work they did for us: WE LOVE OUR PORCH.
John, the carpenter, is wonderful and amazing at what he does. Sometimes it's the little things that make the biggest difference - the beveling on the custom base caps to match the posts - Replacing a couple of floor boards to ensure the newel post lined up with the new stairs - grinding the corners on the reclaimed newels to ensure they all match... Stuff you don't think to ask for. Small details that show a pride in work that isn't common these days.
By the time the work was done, we were the proud owners of a porch so great looking, we've almost driven past our house because we don't recognize it!
What else can I say? If you want to work with someone that you can trust, who will do the work at a fair price, and who will leave you with something better than you imagined - go with Redstone.
A++ all around for these guys!

"Chester and his crew built an addition to our home which included a bedroom and an ada spec bathroom and they were great. I am disabled and he constantly went the extra mile to make sure what they were doing at each step of the project would work for me. Quality work, first class all the way. The best experience I have ever had with a contractor."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.

Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.
