"The work was well planned and completed on time. Ariel is a professional contractor with a lot of experience and great at communicating. The mason on my retaining wall was an expert and meticulous. I have recommended Lifetime Construction to my friends and family."

"Both jobs were done exceptionally well with great attention to detail. He and his crew were professional and courteous. The job was completed on the day they said it would be done, even a little sooner. Will definitely hire again for our next project."

"Joseph was the most professional home repair contractor I have ever dealt with. He very carefully analyzes a problem and explains a solution that would prevent further issues. He handles everything, start to finish, without any interruption to our daily lives. His craftsmanship is impeccable, colors carefully matched, and attention to details that make a difference. I have hired him for numerous projects, large and small, and even asked him to carefully search our home for things that might need attention. We will also be hiring him to manage our home and yard which I have confidence will mean less worry and more freedom. His prices are completely in line with any other contractor, but his work is far superior. Highly recommend LUXREM!!"

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.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.
