"A complete attention to detail, a quick response to requests for change, and a pleasant demeanor at all turns recommend !! But what truly sets them apart are their suggestions to make the job better; an approach that engenders friendship, and a calmness under pressure. The ability to meet schedules against all odds alone is a recommendation. The staff was friendly, open, and much more than just competent. Matt was very helpful! He did great job in my Clifton house and I love it ! If this review appears to the reader that we might use them when the occasion calls for it, the reader is correct."

"We hired Built-Well to install new doors in our house. This involved work in nearly every room in the house, but Grant and his team moved quickly, working around our schedule, and kept everything spotless as they worked. We are so happy with the finished project and will absolutely hire Built-Well for future projects. We have worked with several contractors in the past, but none have come close to the professionalism and quality of their work! We can not recommend them enough!!"

"This is the third and largest project that Cesar has done for me. He is without question the best contractor I have ever used. His tiling work is fantastic! He is Knowledgeable, Honest, Fair and completely trustworthy. We were away for long periods of time while he worked alone in our house. I won't even consider another contractor for any additional work that we would do in the future. We just did two bathrooms with him and they came out perfect. Cesar is an easy guy to work with and has a great work ethic. He's a first class, stand up guy!"

The work was exceptional. The (owner) contractor was in contact with me during the whole project in person and on the phone anytime I needed."

"Picasso Construction is very professional,experienced and reliable team. Sergio (owner) is always consulting with you before doing the following step in the project. He was very helpful buying and picking up the materials from the store and also offering us his contractor discount (10%-20%) which saves you a lot of money in the end! My project was done on time and I'm extremely happy with the results! I recommended this team to my friends and family, and they did use them on few projects. I will definitely hire them in the future for my basement renovation project!"

Customers say: Terrific value

"I have used Home Improvements Done Right several times both on my investment properties (buy; holds, flips, new construction), as well as my personal home and each time Mauricio and Daniel were able to deliver above expectations and within budget. They and their teams are very easy to work with, and can work autonomously, making logical judgement calls in the field and when necessary, will suggest thoughtful improvements. Communications are clear, timely, and effective. They are competitive from a pricing perspective, and their work quality is among the best out there. They leave the work area neat and orderly and their employees are extremely polite and friendly. For all the aforementioned, Home Improvements Done Right is my default GC, and I have even referred them to other builders who had issues with their previous contractor's performance. The feedback on those referrals have always been extremely positive. I will continue to use them on my projects."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.
