"I would like to enthusiastically recommend that Bill Smith (no relation to me) receive a Page of Happiness Award!   I got several estimates from top-rated Angie?s List handymen.    When Bill came to provide an estimate, it was immediately obvious that he was a pleasant, casual, highly competent professional. He discussed each my several projects with me to be certain that he knew
what I needed done, then provided an estimate a few days later.  Bill?s was the lowest estimate, which, combined with his professionalism and personality, led me to choose him for the job. 
Hiring Bill was the best decision I?ve ever made regarding people to do work in my house.  Over the
years, I?ve had many contractors, handymen, plumbers, electricians, etc., and, overall he was the best individual I?ve worked with.   One repair was of a Murphy bed.  It turned out to be a very difficult, complex repair, and I?m not at all sure another handyman could have handled it.  It appeared that a board at the top had simply come off.  However, it turned out that there were multiple problems.  If Bill had not repaired it fully, it would have almost certainly come down on someone?s head.  The bed is locked to the
wall in its upright position by two catches. It turned out that only one catch was actually holding the bed.  In addition, the original builder has held everything together with small brads, which Bill replaced with screws.  Bill also installed a clothing rack, a towel
dispenser, and other things, repaired soffits,  and did some painting. 
His price was reasonable, he did an absolutely outstanding job, and I would hire him again in a minute. I can give Bill Smith my highest recommendation, without hesitation.  I hope he will be chosen for the Page of Happiness and given the smile.  In
addition, I hope he soon qualifies for the Super Service Award.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   &n"

"Diaz and his crew recently completed a job for our home. It started off with a basement renovation. They installed several sections of missing drywall and reinstalled a set of windows (that were installed incorrectly by a previous contractor). Then they painted our basement, installed new recessed ceiling lighting, placed new moldings and installed flooring with vinyl plank After the basement was completed they completely redid our kitchen and main living area They installed new cabinets and countertops. They redid all of our upstairs lighting. They removed old nonfunctional heaters and redid the floor moldings. They installed a new tile backsplash for our kitchen. Finally they painted and installed new flooring. I can’t say enough great things about this contractor. I found that he and his work crew are extremely proficient and did excellent work. They had incredible attention to detail. The painting, flooring, lighting, and every single thing was absolutely completed to perfection. The team cleaned up thoroughly every single day, and took great pains to minimize the impact of their work on the rest of the house (by placing tarps, drapes, and plastic doorway partitions). I was very happy that a single contractor was able to do all these various different things and still do them so well. Diaz did have specific companies that he worked with to make the cabinets and countertop but we were very happy with the options that he provided. He even helped us set up a visit in person to look at countertops before we made a final decision. Diaz was honest and upfront, and was extremely reliable. He made multiple suggestions throughout the process to improve the renovation and the function of our home, and I really trusted his input. Diaz is highly skilled as a designer as well as a contractor. Diaz stuck to his estimate. As expected with a project like this, extra things did come up along the way that lead to additional cost. But Diaz was upfront with those additional costs, and they all seemed extremely reasonable. If there was any negative it was that Diaz and his crew were always extremely busy. As a result, communication sometimes took a while, and the renovations took a little time (since they were clearly juggling multiple projects at once). However, I do feel that overall Diaz his crew did the job in a timely manner Most importantly, we were extremely happy with the end result. We feel like we’re living in a new house and cannot recommend Diaz highly enough. If you’re looking for a crew that has great attention to detail, a high level of versatility across various contract jobs, and that is extremely trustworthy and reliable, then Diaz and your crew is the right choice. We will definitely use them again the next time something needs to be done at our home."

"While it is normal for remodeling projects to create chaos and to be the muse of many a horror story, this ended up with a very pleasant end result. We had a complete renovation down to the studs to bring things up to code, which included ripping out the sub flooring and quite a bit of pipes. Parts were ordered and lost and found. Things went on backorder and were discontinued. We fortunately had a fantastic crew. Ismar (the contractor) did an awesome job of making sure that everything was done to spec and built beautifully. He followed our wishes and came back on the weekend and late to be sure the work was done right. The only real challenges were with the design and oversight from the office, between the designer losing our design specs on the first pass and not communicating proactively about delays or back orders, but thankfully these were more annoyance than problem. After a few handoffs, we got Eric E. as project manager, and he saw us through the rest of the project with much better results and only about 30% oversight still needed from us. Overall, we got a great bathroom out of the deal, so 4 stars."

"We thought Matt Willis was very diligent, responsive and easy to work with. He sent out Gio to lead the work and I was really impressed with him. We've worked with 3 other contractors in the past, one for an addition, one for a kitchen, and one for a bathroom. Gio was definitely the best and easiest to work with. Highly recommend."

"My husband and I are so pleased with our basement renovation. Edgar and his brother turned our unfinished 1000 sq. ft. basement into a beautiful space that our family and friends love to hang out in. He created a spacious family room, bedroom and bathroom. We get so many compliments. The work was finished efficiently and with great workmanship. He followed my plans and instruction exactly. I would recommend his team to anyone looking for a quality job big or small."

"Alex was fantastic through the whole basement remodel process. We had discussions with 5 different contractors and Alex was the only one with a clear vision for our space from the start. Alex really enjoys providing people the type of space they want at a fair price. I look forward to working with Alex again."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

Yes, most services include necessary frame modifications for proper door fitting. Confirm with your provider.
