"We had just come off of a super bad experience with another contractor. In fact, they were supposed to do the work we hired Bryan to do! Our experience with Bryan could not have been more different. Professional, fair, reasonable, realistic. We break a lot of stuff and will definitely be using him again!"

"Complete master bathroom remodel and hall bath remodel. The project is currently in progress, so far, so good. Great price and great value! Kevin does most of the work himself. We like contractors that get their own hands dirty. Not so good at returning calls in a timely manner, but still a pleasant man to work with. Very detailed invoice/contract.... More later, Ella"

"Luis and his team are AMAZING. From the very start, Luis was extremely responsive to phone calls and emails. He got back to me right away and was able to set up a time to do an estimate within days. He came to see the apartment and had multiple creative suggestions for how to use my space best. He was very organized when it came to submitting an estimate. All items were clearly delineated with prices and work to be done. But, in reality, he did a lot more work than he had listed on those sheets. I had many, many contractors come to give me an estimate, but Luis was unique because I could tell that he genuinely cared about how the place would look and wasn't just trying to get me to sign on. If I mentioned things, he would tell me upfront if it would be difficult or not possible, but his motto is "everything is possible" so in the end he was able to do a tremendous amount in the apartment. The unit I bought was built in the 1960s, had never been updated and had not been taken well care of. There was a TREMENDOUS amount to be done, and Luis and his team did a remarkable job. They really made my place look the best it could possibly look. They are perfectionists and independant thinkers. I never needed to tell them to do or change things - if something didn't look right, they would change it on their own. They are tremendously hard-working and extremely respectful of my things in the apartment. They would even take their shoes off once the hardwood was installed to keep the floors clean! The company is called Fine Painters, but they do a lot more than painting. They did a complete renovation from start to finish including carpentry, electrical work, plumbing, painting, and more. I live in a building with multiple restrictions for who can do work in the building. Luis prepared all the plans, drawings etc that were needed for approval. Luis even paid for and took a course in removal of flooring with asbestos glue because that was what was required by my building even though they already knew the correct procedures. They didn't try to sell me things at a high mark-up like many other contractors do. I bought my own materials, but when I needed a suggestion (i.e. tiles, hardwood floors) Luis had great suggestions and passed on his contractor discount to me. They worked in a timely fashion and were always willing to help me with anything I needed, even if it was not in the scope of the project they were working on. They often went to the store to pick up things I had forgotten or didn't know where to get. They are very caring. Their work ethic is unmatched. They follow-up on every details with the job from start to finish. The bottom line: the work they did was unbelievably good and they were a total pleasure to work with. If you are looking for a contractor for any project, big or small, do not hestitate to have them give you an estimate. Once you meet them, you will be sold! The apt looks beautiful, thanks to Fine Painter"

"Ronda came to us through our general contractor. She assisted us in selecting our cabinets, counter tops, hardware and tile. She met with us multiple times at our house to work through the cabinet design. And we met with her multiple times at her studio and the tile shop to select our counter top and tile. Always ready to help, she is knowledgeable and has innate design ability. More than that, she can explain her design choices, yet is willing to discuss alternatives and work through the design process in a collaborative manner, bringing many ideas to the table – or kitchen, as it were. She listens to her clients and was able to translate our ideas into a comprehensive design. Throughout the process Ronda worked with our contractor and with us to make certain everything came together as planned. While there were a number of minor snafus, she was always there to make certain issues were resolved and to keep the job moving ahead. Cabinets and counter tops are a significant portion of the remolding cost. Cabinet manufactures are not all that interested in dealing directly with the customer. Rather, they work through their distributors. We purchased our cabinets through Ronda who has a strong working relationship with the manufactures she deals with and can easily work out issues. Thank you Ronda for a wonderful new kitchen!"

"Nelson and his company did a fantastic job completing a sidewalk repair at my residence. Nelson was very polite upon our first meeting and extremely thorough in his explanation of the cost breakdown as well as steps he would take to complete the job. The finished work spoke for itself - it was flawless! Overall, Nelson and his company were so polite and easy to work with and the quality of the work was top-notch. Would 100% hire again. Thanks Nelson!"

"Outstanding work performed. Quote was very good, Dennis told me how the project would be managed and completed. As promised, they delivered on time and at budget. Furniture put pack in place and after checking closely a perfect job from start to finish. This is the third project they have completed for us, one was painting our outside fence. 3D Painting LLC is the only painting contractor we will use and provide references on."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.

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.
