"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me.  Overall, they're good designs.  However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning.  I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging.  
Jill was very responsive when I did have a question.  I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done.  If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs.

"Randy's came out quickly after we first called. They gave us an estimate for the project right away. We later added to the original project to include other areas of our building which was greeted with a "No problem". They came to do the project quickly as scheduled and stayed until it was entirely completed. They were very professional and talked with us throughout the project. They voluntarily did a few extra things that made the project look even better WITHOUT CHARGING a dime extra. Even when the project took a day longer because of the add-on, they didn't change the original estimate and didn't complain. They were very positive and even cheerful throughout the project and worked very hard. They were continuously professional and friendly. It is obvious that they cared about the quality of their work. We had a great experience with Randy's Total Renovation. They did a great job at a great price and did extremely good work. We will hire them again for all work we need and recommend them to anyone who needs any kind of construction or renovation"

"Although our overall job had a change in scope and had to be stopped and re-started a couple of times, Mr. Minor was ready and able to get the job completed. The crew was quick and efficient. I’ll call them again when I need electrical work done."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces. 

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.

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.
