Customers say: True professional

"Mark and his employees were very professional. Mark was able to bring my ideas to life when building an interior wall inside my store. The final product exceeded all of my expectations. I have since hired Mark to expand my office, change out light fixtures and replace my hot water heater. He was able to work around my store hours to ensure the safety of my customers and staff. All work was completed in a timely manner. I will continue to hire Mark for all of my projects."

"LV Building Solutions did a fantastic job building a screened in porch on my deck. I couldn’t be happier! Benito provided options and was creative in making this project the best end result for me. He was easy to communicate with and was professional, timely and his price was fair. I would highly recommend him and would absolutely use him again!"

"Mr. Luis, did an amazing job with this project. He communicated effectively, and the door looks brand new. It took me about 90 days since the day I mistakenly broke the top part of the storm door screen in area to find someone but it was worth the wait. I recommend his services. He is also an electrician by trade and has done apartment and home maintenance for 5 years and can do carpentry as well. Out of everyone the site recommended he was the most polite and helpful person when communicating about my project. Again thank you Mr. Luis and we will be sharing our experience with you on other platforms as well."

Small jobs welcome

"I’m as amazed at the company, the owners and the crew that works for A+ as I am the work they do! They took a 70 year old brick house, with a deck on the back side and turned it into a beautiful home with the most awesome Sunroom that you could ask for. Upon completion, they reattached my deck to the Sunroom. Carlos Flores (the owner) is an outstanding businessman that knows the value of “Yes”. He, and his crew, can and will do whatever you need done to make you happy. They relate well to their customers with the utmost in respect for you personally as well as your property and time. At the end of each work day, they clean up after themselves, and haul off to the dump any materials and scraps that naturally come with the job. Their workmanship and overall work ethic led me to not only build a sunroom, but to build out a bathroom in my basement and redo my kitchen floors! I also had them take out a 100ft tree and lay in a new patio outside of my new sunroom. Whatever you need, A+ can do. When Carlos says no job is too small - believe him. I believe in A+ Home Remodeling LLC and highly recommend this company. Brian G P"

"We could not be happier with our kitchen renovation! Of the three contractors we called, Matt was the one who embraced our vision rather than trying to convince us to do what would be “easier.” We had several big challenges: lack of natural light, inflexible floor plan, wasted space, and not nearly enough storage. Matt brought in a designer who helped bring our vision to life with the “made in USA” materials we wanted. I had several custom requests, and Matt took time to research the materials and installations so that we could have everything on my wish list. Were there unforeseen challenges? Of course, because every project has them. But Matt worked diligently to deliver the kitchen of my dreams in time for Thanksgiving and ON BUDGET. We were so happy with the outcome that we hired him again a few months later to renovate our primary bathroom. But that’s another story. :)"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.
