"Fantastic! Devin and his team remodeled three of the four bedrooms in my townhouse in Clarendon: the first about four years ago and the other two bathrooms two years ago. He also built me a new closet in the master bedroom. The entire experience was amazing. The work is top quality - years later it still looks perfect and I have not had any problems - and his team is polite, professional, timely and they left my home spotless when they left. And since the work has been completed, Devin has helped me with little issues for free whenever I needed help. He is truly a talented professional and a stellar person. Can’t recommend highly enough!"

"Walter and Kevin repaired an upstairs shower that was leaking to the downstairs ceiling. The ceiiling needed to be refinished because of the water stqains that resulted from the leaky shower. The entire job was done in one day. When finished the ceiling looked as if nothing had happened to it. An outstanding job at a reasonable price!!!"

"Before I hired Mr. Reyes, we spoke in detail about what I expected. He agreed. What I got was a sloppy and unprofessional job. He rushed through my job in order to finish in one day as opposed to taking his time and doing a thorough and professional job. He was supposed to clean and restore the shower base, stall and frame. He painted over built up dirt in the shower base. Now, there are dirt stains showing through the paint and the base is so uneven and rough that if I stepped in the shower the bottom of my feet may get cut. Instead of cleaning the frame thoroughly, he painted over built up dirt and it looks terrible. He painted just the bottom of the frame with the wrong type of paint. He wasn't supposed to paint the frame at all. He painted the drain as opposed to removing, cleaning and replacing it after the paint dried. His caulking job is uneven and lacks consistency. He left paint on the shower head and light fixture in the ceiling. He was supposed to replace the door henges, light switch and electric socket. He didn't. He painted part of the door frame and left the other parts unpainted. He didn't smooth out the vanity before painting leaving it looking a mess inside and out. He left paint on the vanity door henges. He left running paint in spots and paint droppings in the window seal. He painted parts of the window frame that did not need to be painted and it's sporadic and sloppy. He didn't prep the walls before painting (as discussed) leaving the walls uneven and bumpy. He did a mediocre job cleaning the shower tiles. He did a good job cleaning the shower glass, installing the quarter round and covering the base of the vanity with a special adhesive paper. Another contractor installed the flooring and new toilet. After he finished the job, Mr. Reyes sent me a very nice video that made everything look beautiful. I told him I'd have to see the work in person because videos can be deceiving. When I saw what he did, I was very upset. I contacted him about my concerns and he returned on November 13th. I pointed out all of my complaints about this work. He asked me what I would pay for the job as is. I asked "You mean you aren't going to fix this?" He said no to fixing his work. I told him I'd pay $500. He said no to the $500 and said he was going to his truck to call some people. I considered that statement to be a threat. He sat in his truck for a while and I wasin my vehicle on the phone with an Angi representative when he walked up behind me a took a photo of my vehicle's license plate. I considered that to be another threat so I took photos of his license plates. Then he sent me a text instructing me to send the $500 via Zelle right now. He sent me a couple other messages about the $500. I told him I had to file a report with Angi and figure out how much it going to cost me to correct his work. Evidence that he knew he did a terrible job is that he refused to fix his work and the fact that he was willing to accept less than half of agreed upon amount of $1150. Two contractors came out and told me how unprofessional Mr. Reyes work is. One contractor quoted me a price of over $3000 to correct his work and do the job right. His final message to me was very munipulative and he ended it with "Don't make me think you're a bad person." Another threat. I didn't respond. Mr. Reyes' sloppy and unprofessional work caused a delay in my project."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

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.

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

Costs depend on carport size, wood type, complexity of design, and labor for custom features. They typically start at $3,000 and extend beyond concrete thresholds.
