"I would not hesitate to recommend SES to anyone. When looking for a contractor, responsiveness and quality of work were our first priorities. SES could not have excelled more in either regard. They called everyday to provide an update on the day's work and what to expect the next. Additionally, they made sure to keep the rest of the house clean, without any evidence of their work. Courteous and respectful, will undoubtedly contact for any future needs."
"I hired Lamp Property Development to build my office building for me. They did a great job on the design! They also did a great job on the construction, from the ground up. I was so pleased with Matthew Lamp and his crew. They were professional and had everything done on time. I was very happy with the entire experience and would highly recommend them for whatever project you are about to undertake. I used them for several projects and they are my number one go to contractor."
"Samuel is extremely competent, timely, responsive, and transparent. Unfortunately, we had a roof installed a few years ago by a company who cut corners, and STMZ came to repair two separate leaks in the “new” roof. He documented every step of the process with photos, and explained what he was doing. (Most contractors, in my experience, do not take the time to explain the process to you!) I highly recommend his services, and if we ever need to replace the roof, STMZ will be the company we will call."

"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!"
"We had spoken previously, when he had been running a special - the offer was now expired, but he agreed to honor the prices we originally discussed, anyway. He showed up to discuss the roof, walk the job and confirm the details. In every detail he was professional, honest, and fair. He brought us samples of the actual materials to be used, and double checked before he installed that we were happy with the color and choice of materials. He used the highest grades of materials....felt...down to the nails that he chose, and took care to get special ones that were a little shorter for the eaves, so that, (unlike the previous roofers) they wouldn't show through underneath. Great attention to detail. When he said he would arrive each day, he was there a few minutes early.. His crew was respectful of our home, and cleaned up all of the debris and trash. They swept the entire site with a magnet to be sure no nails were left around. We hit a large storm - the carpenters working ahead of Marcio took longer than they said they would - causing Marcio delays. He was patient and understanding about it - though it probably cost him some money. Marcio came to our house, across the lake, during the thunderstorm...on a Sunday, to secure the roof and make sure that we didn't have leaks. His area that his crew had been working on didn't leak - the way the carpenters left things , however, were a mess - and he helped us seal that too, The finished product is beautiful and will, undoubtedly last long after we're long gone! It's a gorgeous roof. I have been a general contractor for years, myself, and my husband has built many houses. We would highly recommend Maurcio and his crew without reservation, and we will use them again, any chance we get.
"I've been looking forward to writing this review since I got the bid back from Zeringue's this past summer. First of all, Z's wasn't the first contractor I contacted. The other six or so either never showed up, declined the work, bid way too high, or just never sent me an estimate of what I wanted done and what needed to be done. Malcolm Zeringue showed up and e-mailed me a detailed PDF and list of questions early the following day. The estimate was clear and surprisingly fair. I met him soon after with a team of subs-contractors, and they began work. What I loved was Z's conscientiousness. Malcolm and his team do not cut corners. They spend the time to get things done right so I won't have problems down the road. They communicate well and often. Throughout, I received photos of finished projects and photos of potential problems. Malcolm new I was on a budget and worked with me on everything. If they ran into uglieness (rotten wood, termite damage, leaks), and one aspect of the job was going to cost more than expected, he tried to balance that out with parts of the overall job that could be less expensive than originally expected. My once dumpy property is now spectacular. Working with Zeringue's was memorable, delightful, exciting, and I'm looking forward to doing more improvements to the property with them. "
"They did a great job, I'm very pleased and I'm looking forward to hiring them again. They were very flexible in doing a great job that was denied by other contractors, I like that they price is fair and the quality was very sturdy."
Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
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.
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.
While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.
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.
Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.
