"Santana Construction is absolutely the best around! Victor, Arturo and the rest of the team worked hard throughout the whole project to make the results even better than I could have ever imagined. What I wanted was a simple screen porch and patio area with a new fence, what I got was an immaculate screen porch with a spectacular patio and small built in seating area. Without a doubt I have the best backyard within miles! I would recommend Santana Construction to anyone that asks. They are thoughtful, respectful, offer options , they make sure they are always communicating with you and they take pride in every aspect of their work. Their work is of the best craftsmanship I have seen in years! I can’t wait to start my next project with Santana Construction! Thank you again Victor, Arturo and the rest of the Team!"

We understand how difficult it can be to find a contractor that provides you with high-quality craftsmanship and affordable prices without sacrificing quality. That’s why we provide our customers with honest, professional and reliable services for their home improvement and renovation needs. We have developed a reputation for handling any size project efficiently and quickly for residential properties. Our goals over the years have always been to provide customers with exceptional services focused on their individual needs. 10 employees. Cost is determined by the job. No travel charges. Family owned.

"I chose Reilly because of the many great reviews on Angi—and here’s mine: trust this team. They were thorough, professional, and highly skilled. They completed a full tear-down and rebuild of my deck, and it looks fantastic. The price was also competitive, which I truly appreciated. As a widow, I’ve sometimes been treated differently during home projects—but that was absolutely not the case here. Every member of the Reilly team treated me with honesty, respect, and professionalism. I felt completely comfortable throughout the entire process. I’ll definitely use Reilly again and highly recommend them."

We specialize in residential and multi-family projects throughout the Triangle and surrounding areas. Our dedicated team is here to meet your unique needs, offering customized color consultations and meticulous attention to wood, roof, and drywall repairs. We pride ourselves on delivering the highest level of satisfaction to our clients. Let us transform your space with our expert craftsmanship!

"Highly recommend and would hire again! Angela and the Make it Happen team was the first to respond to my Anji request, the first to come and assess my framing and insulation needs, and the only one I had to hire to complete my entire project. Angela has a large team with multiple levels of expertise. I started with framing and insulation because, to be honest, I had just been ghosted by another contractor mid-project and was trying to wrap my head around a way forward. The Make it Happen team did such an amazing, professional job -- and literally started the day after we hired them -- that I asked if they had time to help me with the rest. They said yes and literally made it happen. From that day on they worked at my house daily until it was done. They did drywall, doors, windows, paint, trim, floors, stairs, and appliance install. They showed up on time, stayed until done, cleaned up daily, answered all calls, were at all inspections, and priced fairly. So grateful! Highly recommend!"

"This is the second major project Ralph has done for us. He did a kitchen and bath remodel in 2019 and were very please with the results of that project. I got four estimates for this project and the Triangle Classic estimate was very competitive. Based on my earlier experience with them, I choose Triangle Classic over the others, even though they were a little higher than a couple of the bids. I trusted that I would get a high quality job done in a timely fashion. Having that confidence during a major project is worth a few thousand dollars. Ralph did not disappoint. He is very actively involved in his contracts and ensures his sub-contractors are doing quality work. The project was completed on time and only about 2% over budget. The over budget items were items that were outside the original contract or beyond the contractor's control. During the project, we made the decision to replace our concrete driveway. Ralph was kind enough to provide his sub to do the work at no profit to his business and he passed along his discount on the concrete. I'm very pleased with how the project turned out and would highly recommend Ralph and Triangle Classic Homes."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, building a screened-in porch on an existing deck is absolutely an option, although there are many factors to consider when adding a screened-in porch to a deck. You or the general contractor you hire will need to add a frame to a deck without a previous screen to keep it safe from damage. You’ll also want to work together to make sure your new porch matches your existing home style.

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.

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.

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes wall damage, but some holes for anchors or brackets are necessary for secure attachment. These can be easily patched if the bed is removed in the future, leaving your walls looking like new. Hiring a professional Murphy bed installer helps ensure minimal and repairable impact.
