"It was perfect! They had to replace butcher block countertops that had been incorrectly installed by another company. They came out and gave an estimate and had samples of wood to choose from and gave options for the installation on the edges, etc. They show up when they are scheduled to for all appointments and they explain what they are going to do and how to care for the counters after installation. Exceptional people to work with!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!"

"Went well. Scott and his crew showed up as scheduled, did quality work, were friendly and communicated well and kept me informed of progress, cleaned up work site every day before leaving, and repositioned a French drain line as needed that was an unexpected “surprise.” I would highly recommend Carolina Contracting for a similar project."

"David repaired flooring on our front porch, replaced rotted siding and trim on the second story, including painting the wood with primer. He also made repairs to a window frame. He showed up early and worked all day to get the job done. He was very professional and respectful. I would use he again and would highly recommend him to friends and family."

"Bill and Billy were very professional and efficient with the projects I had at my home. They built me and 2 car garage and deck off the back of my house. Pricing was very fair and the quality of their work was top notch. They're family owned and operated. I highly recommend them as a general contractor and builder for any home projects."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Mollie and Catalino at Ruiz Enterprises to remove our old screened in porch and build a new deck and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, the experience was smooth, professional, and above all, stress-free. Communication: Mollie and Catalino was outstanding in terms of communication. They took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and worked very hard to help find ways we could save money. I was kept informed at every stage, and any questions or concerns were addressed promptly and thoroughly. Quality of Work: The quality of work was very impressive. The deck was built with attention to detail, and it’s clear that Catalino and his team take pride in their work. We went from having a poorly designed screened porch that flooded to a beautiful new deck that gives us more usable space and more room to enjoy being outside. Timeliness: The project was completed on schedule, with no unexpected delays. Mollie and Catalino provided a clear timeline from the beginning, and they stuck to it and even worked with us as waited for HOA approval. Professionalism: The team was punctual, courteous, and respectful of my property. They maintained a clean worksite and ensured everything was in order before they left each day. Catalino even returned unused materials back to the retailer and I got almost a $1,000 back from the unused materials. I was happy to get the money back and not having to load and return heavy bags of cement! Overall Experience: I am thoroughly impressed with Ruiz Enterprises and the deck they built. It has transformed our outdoor space into a perfect place for relaxation and entertainment. I highly recommend Ruiz Enterprises to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and dedicated contractor for their home improvement projects. Thank you, Mollie and Catalino, for a job well done!"

Woodworking 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.

You don’t need a cutting board. In fact, cutting is the original purpose of butcher block countertops. That said, wood is porous and can harbor germs. You’ll need to clean your countertop thoroughly after use. Knives can also scratch the surface. This adds to the patina of the wood, but not everyone likes the look—in which case, you may want to use a cutting board.

While you can perform many routine home maintenance jobs yourself, it’s often a good idea to bring pros in for certain tasks. HVAC maintenance, fireplace and chimney inspections, foundation repairs, and roof inspections and repairs should be handled by professionals who know what to look for and can safely perform repairs. You may also find it helpful to hire a local house cleaning service to help with deep cleaning.

Wooden soffits, when properly cared for, can last between 10 and 25 years, depending on the type of wood and the climate you live in. Certain wood types will last longer than others, and you might want to consider the cost of replacing soffits when you break down the total project cost. While an initially higher-priced material might seem counterintuitive, it can make more financial sense if you don’t plan on moving. 

The pro you need to hire to build your shed depends on the shed you purchase. A local handyman or general contractor can help build a prefab shed for you. However, if you’re looking for a custom shed, contacting a shed builder near you is the best option. Make sure you get quotes from 3 pros to decide on the best pro for your job.
