"We had a very small roof area need to be repaired. I sent request to multiple company to give a service quote. Few of them sent me replies and stated that they are too busy to come. Matt of MMP Consturction's contacted me promptly, scheduled an on-site visit and gave us a quote right away. The work was then scheduled and finished quickly. Matt did great job on reaching out, effective communication, and always arriving on-time. He also gave an evaluation on our roof condition. Also, Eric and Don did excellent job on finishing the project. They are all very polite, knowledgeable, and showed their professionalism. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to Matt and his crew. We are very grateful for having them arriving on-time before the winter storm to prevent potential damage of the house. From their react, we see a warm heart. No job is big or small, all jobs are equally important. Understanding the difficulties of others, for the people, been appreciated by the people. Thank you again for your high quality service. We definitively recommend MMP Construction Inc. to anyone for any related home project."

"Bob did a great job in helping us both design and refinish our basement. He helped dismantle old fixtures and drywall before framing the entire basement. He then rebuilt our stairway to curve to another side to avoid head obstacles. He was responsive and flexible throughout. We were impressed with his work so we hired him to do additional floor leveling, floor installation, and all of the trim work. His brother did most of the work with him, which made for a cohesive crew. We would recommend Bob and his brother to anyone in need of carpentry or other home improvement jobs."

"Mr. Phalan arrived on time, did the work as agreed, cleaned up immaculately and generally acted with high professionalism. We have employed him for years off and on in a variety of capacities. He is my "go to guy" for any woodwork or exterior repairs. He's even pitched in in unexpected emergencies like ice dams and foundation leaks with incredible responsiveness."

"Aurelio and his team made quick work of our project. They arrived on time and completed the project in just two days. We had them install 3 retaining walls, set a stone pathway and spread 3 yards of pea stone. They yard looks great now. I would highly recommend him."

"Excellent work, well coordinated team, very good plan that efficiently communicated what would be done and was done in the time estimated. The job was repairing wood gutters on a historic Victorian house. I had thought I would have to replace the wood with aluminum but the price and reviews of PR Services convinced me that I could retain the historic character of the house by using them."

"Exceptional workmanship. Homeowners usually have some anxiety when working with contractors. None of that needed here! Prompt and ready to go with his crew the day the work was scheduled to handle some dry rot on some exterior parts of the home. As soon as the wood came off, the problem was clearly more extensive (I wish I could include the pics so you could see the nasty 'before' and clean-and-painted finished 'after'). Moises showed me the issue and made specific recommendations as to remediation. Since this was out of the scope of the initial project, he was clear in detailing materials and time that it would take. Since I like things done once, correctly, I agreed with his assessments and necessary corrections. We ended up having to remove far more of the damp and rotted wood than we thought, replacing insulation, covering it with new and treated wood, and Tyvek wrapping it before putting in fresh siding. I'm glad we did the full work necessary and that didn't just cover over the problem. Did it cost a little more? Yes, and well worth every penny of it to get it done right the first time and protect the home from future problems. Job was finished on time and the place was spotless when they left. Not only do I recommend hiring him, but I fully intend to bring him back for some other work I need done. Again, exceptional workmanship."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

You don’t need a cutting board. In fact, cutting is the original purpose of butcher block countertops. That said, wood is porous and can harbor germs. You’ll need to clean your countertop thoroughly after use. Knives can also scratch the surface. This adds to the patina of the wood, but not everyone likes the look—in which case, you may want to use a cutting board.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

Many contractors prefer checks because they’re easy to track and have no associated fees. However, many also accept credit cards (though they might add a fee to cover their processing costs).

Many people, including professionals in the field, use baluster and spindle interchangeably to describe the vertical components of a railing (or technically, a balustrade). However, there are subtle or distinct differences, depending on who you ask. The most common interpretation is that spindles are thin or delicate versions of balusters.

If you don’t have a power saw with a blade where you can adjust the angle, you could use a miter box and hand saw to make the cuts. The miter box contains wide slots to support the piece of baseboard and other narrow slots to accommodate the blade of the hand saw. However, it’s tough to make non-standard cuts beyond 30 or 45 degrees when using a miter box.
