"This experience was extraordinary from initial contact to completion. The weather related adjustments were communicated in a timely manner. The work itself was flawless. If I'd known it'd be such a painless and smooth process I wouldn't have procrastinated. I have only high praise for HomExpert Contractor and owner Mauricio Flavio."

"Extensive deck and tie wall replacement project was complete 8/30/13. We could not be happier with the results of this project. Travis Parker and his assistants, Daniel and Brian, were outstanding to work with. From start to finish (bid process, contractor documentation, communication, quality of work, attention to detail, daily clean up, reliability, and courteousness) all were 5+ star excellent. We would highly recommend Travis and plan to have some additional work done by him."

Power washed and stained enclosed deck and open deck. Fred was very courteous and informative. Did excellent work and was able to come out sooner than first thought. Would highly recommend his services to anyone interested. He was very easy to work with."

"Fantastic! My dad was an artist and painted 16 tiles for a mural. He passed about 8 years ago and we found the mural in the basement of his house when cleaning it out. Tandem trades constructed a frame and figured a way to hang the mural. I'll be as short as possible: If you need work done, hire this company. You would be crazy not to. Price was VERY reasonable. He was a delight to deal with and the work was way way beyond anything I could have imagined."

"Matt is fantastic! I hired him to do some carpentry work. I know nothing about such things, and he made sure to explain everything—what he recommended, different things he could do, why he was doing certain things—and he included me in every step of the process. In addition, he is very responsive and communicates really well and PROMPTLY! He takes his work seriously, and it shows. I’ll definitely be hiring him again, and I highly recommend him!"

"We hired Sutter Home Solutions to build a deck for our house. We were blown away by their professionalism, customer service, quality of work and affordability. This is a small, family operated business and working directly with the person/people who are doing the work is a huge plus. We couldn t be happier and will never look elsewhere for any future home improvement needs."

"Jesse repaired/replaced some rotted deck timber that was low to the ground. It supported a hot tub privacy fence that was leaning. He also pointed out the defects from the initial installer that I appreciated! Would highly recommend!! Will be calling him back for some interior work."

"We love our new shed! We hired Tittel Construction to build a custom shed on the site of our previous shed. The concrete pad was there already but has a definite slope from a previous tree growing too close. Connor was able to not only build a great shed, but also make it level on a sloped foundation! He was very patient and helped me design, through Pinterest pics and my rough drawings, the perfect shed including 10 reclaimed windows. I’d highly recommend Tittel Construction."

"They completed our large deck project in just 4 days and $6K under the next lowest quote. Overall I was pleased with their work, but they did miss a couple loose sections of railing and we have already noticed a couple boards popping out of place a few months later. They missed a few things, but for the price and fast turnaround, I?m pleased with the work."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

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.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.
