"Mario was the best. Always available great work hired quality companies as he served as the general contractor. That being said he had a great crew himself."
"He's the best contractor I've ever worked with. He was on-time. He did everything he told me he did, he followed-up and everything went smoothly. He's wonderful to work with and everything he promised he delivered."
"Great! Ken Starr, our Project Leader, was wonderful to work with and kept us in the loop. All the Contractors were so professional and although, we didn't reside here during the remodel, I came over everyday and brought our dog, Maxine, to stay here while I had appointments and ran errands. You realize you are working with great folks when they love on your dog! She loved all the guys and all the belly rubs! I especially appreciated Kenny and Larry for their overall expertise on all the areas of our remodel. They both educated and reassured me throughout the process. They were a joy to have around. Anytime I had a question, they were here to answer all my concerns. The Painters led by Carlos were so great to work with, the Electrician, Jonathan Medlin, was awesome and helped me pick out a suitable exterior ceiling fan for our front porch, Jody, the Tile Guy was always concerned that I would like the grout color and even held up a day so I could come by and check it out. We now have a totally remodeled home much more functional than I would have ever imagined! Thank you all, Sandra C."
"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."
"Fred and his team are excellent. We Cannot express how good of a job they do, how well they communicate, and how well they work with you during your renovations. We were so happy we went with them, have recommended them to friends and will use them again for our next major project."

"It was a pleasure to work with Scott. He kept me informed of the progress in a timely manner such that their were no surprises. The workmanship is top of the line. He is honest, pleasant, diligent and skilled. You would be hard pressed to find a better contractor for your project."
"The project went great!!! Hayden the general contractor was wonderful. He updated me each and every step of the process and always kept true to his word on cost, timeframe, and etc. I always felt I was in good and trustworthy hands as he and his team worked on each aspect of my garage conversion. He made sure each inspector who came for each area, mechanical, electrical, framing, insulation, and final were all handled efficiently and each one passed on the first try and I was even told by the inspector that they wished every inspection they did went as smoothly. If you need any project done, I highly recommend H&P general contracting. I will do any and all future home projects through Hayden and his company going forward. He definitely gets a 100 star rating from me."
Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.
The cost to convert a carport into a garage averages about $22,000, ranging from about $15,000 and $55,000. Additional cost factors to consider include size, time of year, and how much of the carport you can reuse. Other cost factors include the kinds and amounts of materials used, such as:
Add insulation: $1 per square foot
Add drywall: $1–$3 per square foot
Add window: $450–$2,000 per window
Add outlets: $75–$500
Add garage door: $250–$11,200
Enclose framing: $5–$13 per square foot
Replace roofing: $1,000–$2,000
When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project.
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.
Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.
