"A&R did a wonderful job fixing my house after a plumbing incident flooded part of my house. Not only was the quality of the work excellent, Alvin went above and beyond helping with the insurance process. He prepared an extremely precise quote and went back and forth with insurance making sure I was compensated fairly. He and his team were extremely professional and I always felt like I was in good hands. He also immediately addressed any questions or concerns I had through the process. I highly recommend this contractor!"

"In August of 2016 Southeast Louisiana (Livingston, East Baton Rouge and Ascension Parishes) had over 41" of Local and Surrounding Areas of Rain that FLOODED the areas. OVER FOUR HOUNDRED THOUSAND (400,000) Homes and Businesses were DEVISTATED by the massive flooding. Our Two-Story Home in Denham Springs, LA (Watson Community) had over two feet of Flood, Swamp, Sewer Water for four days. The flood water DEVISTATED our Downstairs Living Room, Master Bedroom, Bathroom and Closets, Kitchen/Dining Room, Half-Bath and Stairwell Storage Area, along with ALL THE CONTENTS; Furniture, Appliances, Perisomal Belongings and etc. Our Garage along with it's contents were DESTROYED. We also lost TWO Vehicles (paid for... No Vehicle Payments) to the Flood, ALONG WITH ANYTHING ON OUR POURCHES AND IN THE YARD. We were STRANDED in our Home and could not leave via Vehicle for FOUR DAYS, luckily, we had Neighbors who had boats and checked on the Neighborhood. We NEVER SAW ANY FEMA workers or Charity organizations during the time we were flooded. After the flood, one day a Church group came into our Neighborhood with boxed lunches. Because of ALL the Citizens of Southeast Louisiana that were affected by the Flood, it was IMPOSSIBLE to find RELIABLE, HONEST and COMPENTENT Crafts to Re-Build our DEVISTATED Home. We contacted MANY Contractors who were Recommended by Neighbors and Friends, BUT the Contracts these Contractors wanted us to sign were RIDICULOUS! The Contracts Basically Stated that if the Contractor DID NOT PAY the various Crafts for the work performed, the Crafts could FILE SUITE AGAINST US for Payment. Also, the Contracts stated that any Insurance Money we received for the Flood Damage was to be place in Escrow, a separated Bank Account, so the Contractor could have ACCESS to the MONEY...??? My wife and I did MOST of the Demolishing (removing, Sheetrock, Insulation, Carpeting, Harwood Flooring and etc.). Luckily one day, one of our nice neighbors had the Live Oak Football Team over at his house helping out. The neighbor came over and asked if we needed any Heavy Lifting help. We had the team dissemble and remove our Custom Built Bernhard (North Carolina) Massive Bedroom Suite, with Dresser, Armoire and TV Hutch, along with our NEW 6 month old King Sized Sleep Number Bed, Massive Custom Built Bernhard (North Carolina) Dining Room Table and Hutch Buffet Cabinet, Sectional Sofa and other items to or front porch so FEMA could inventory the damaged items. We finally decided to Sub-Contract the Crafts ourselves, which was a NIGHTMARE. MOST of the Crafts we finally hired via “word of mouth” or Home Depot, were inexperienced and did a POOR JOB, Including an Established Local Flooring Business Located in Denham Springs, LA. I started calling ALL the Cabinet Makers in Denham Springs, Baton Rouge, Gonzales and MOST of SE Louisiana. LUCKILY, I FOUND David DeVall to make our Kitchen, Master Bath and Hal-Bath Cabinets, along with finishing up our Custom Shower and Installing the Shower Door. David DeVall did a GREAT JOB in building our Custom Cabinets and the work on our shower! David had gave me a quote to install the flooring and Custom Shower, I WISH I HAD USED David DeVall TO DO THE WORK NOW, because I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THE SHOWER AND FLOORING WORK done by the Established Local Flooring Business Located in Denham Springs, LA. We STILL have some jobs to be finished; woodwork around our fireplace and woodwork on the Livingroom/Kitchen Support Column, which was “POORLY” done by the man who we hired for Sheetrock and Painting (which the man and his crew did a poor job)… I will probably get David to finish up the woodworking. We still need our Fireplace removed and a New Fireplace Installed, I don’t know if David does this work. We also need Shelves built for our Master Closet and Pantry, I was thing of doing this myself but have not felt like doing the work. I RECOMMEND David DeVall for any Cabinetry work, Kitchen/Bath, Flooring and etc. or any other jobs he can do."

"This is the 3rd or 4th job Randy has done for us. Randy is excellent, very professional, thoughtful and an all-around good guy. He has a dense network of subcontractors to work with, and he monitors their work closely. Randy excels working on old homes like ours, and is creative at working within a budget. He is also good at offering his professional opinion. We approached him with somewhat vague ideas, and he helped us realize our vision within our price range. I can't say enough good things about Randy."

"From start to finish it was a great experience. I have had some mishaps in the past with other contractors and this was the best experience so far. Very honest, punctual and neat. The finish work is beautiful and I can’t ask for anything better than what I received. I would recommend them to anyone!!! 5 Stars"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

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. 

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.
