"David did a super job. Responded quickly, fixed it in promptly. Looks great. Clean up was the best I have ever seen from any contractor. Covered everything in plastic, put up containment plastic barrier. Then Vacuumed and mopped floors, wiped down the counters and even vacuumed and swept the garage. Awesome job. Highly recommend David Duarte and his company Gidawe."

"EXCELLENT WORK! I scheduled to have the interior of my house painted and the pergola/landscaping timbers painted out back. I had a bunch of dents in my walls due to the kids I have. This company did a really great job of filling the holes and painting plus their proces were economical as well. They were prompt and worked efficiently to get the job done! I would definitely hire again plus they mentioned that they do exterior siding!"

"Ernesto and his workers are the best contractors we have ever hired. I saw their work at Mail’n’More (Burnt Hills, NY), which is fantastic. Took a card, called Ernesto. He gave us an estimate the next day, we set a time two weeks hence, and he and his crew not only showed up exactly on time, but called from Lowe’s to say they’d be over soon. A four-day painting job took two days, and they cleaned thoroughly. Beautiful job, fair price, excellent workers!"

We recently purchased a 2nd home on Lake James with an exterior that is 100% cedar.  The exterior was in serious need of cleaning and re-staining.  It had not been maintained; and, had a significant amount of mold staining and several areas of the trim had the original finish peeling off.

We contracted with Mike and Crystal to prep and re-stain the exterior of our home.  Throughout the process, Mike demonstrated thoroughness, competency and responsibility.  Mike and Crystal took personal responsibility to ensure they delivered a quality product.  Mike kept his commitments and did not compromise his work product even when faced with the stripping process taking more time than he expected.  He completed the project per the schedule he committed.

Mike demonstrated a high attention to detail in the finishing process and ensured the project was completed to my satisfaction.  The home looks beautiful...we could not be happier.

I solicited bids from several paint contractors and evaluated several before selecting Mike.  His pricing was very competitive versus several other contractors; but, I never observed where Mike cut corners.

I would definitely recommend MIke's Painting and will plan to use Mike again when we have painting needs.

"I had a client that needed their entire home painted prior their move in date. They went above and beyond to accommodate our last minute need. JJ was professional and communicative throughout the process. Their crew did an amazing job! They will be my first call for future business and referrals."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

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.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.
