"Bex is hands down the most capable and reliable contractor I've ever worked with. I have thrown all sorts of challenges at him in our new apartment, from removing a pocket door and converting it into a regular door, to fixing the wall and plumbing behind our washer/dryer and much more. He has met every challenge. He's also very courteous and careful. I can't recommend him enough!"

"A few years ago Andrew Ramirez performed emergency service as a result of significant flooding and water damage in our basement. Mr. Ramirez acted as our insurance claims handler, contractor, and designer supplying the necessary labor, materials and equipment to complete this project. When water damage occurred in our kitchen only a few days ago we immediately placed a call to Mr. Andrew Ramirez . We want to share with the world the many talents of this man. Style, taste and class are the adjectives that come to mind when trying to describe Andrew as a contractor, designer and problem solver. He has the uncanny ability to bring out a rooms potential mastering angles and space. After our major flood Mr. Ramirez not only fixed the water issue but renovated the entire basement of our home. Andrew Ramirez worked with us on every aspect of the project suggesting we meet as a team -contractor, designer, claims adjustor. Another example of his professionalism, In additional, Andrew Ramirez has a unique expertise with insurance claim handling. Excelling in organization including detailed paper work, quotes and detailed e-mails are all a natural part of his repertoire. There are no surprises when you are a client of his. Phone calls are immediately returned and Andrew leaves not stone unturned for excellence. In keeping with the spirit of collaboration Andrew has made numerous phone calls with our insurance company, suppliers and other people involved in our total renovation design project. Another great aspect of working with Andrew and his company is his relationship with other resources. He is always on top of the timing of things making any major house project as painless as possible. Andrew Ramirez is far from a "yes" person. His honesty and up front manner is one of his most important characteristics. In addition, Andrew seems generally concerned about cost and we had the feeling that he handled us as if he were doing this for his own home. It is clear from working on our second project with Andrew that he is passionate about his work and sincere when you are his client. We highly recommend this remarkable man and his company to anyone who is looking for quality work!"

"—-Great Contractor —- We decided to remodel our kitchen and after speaking with a few contractors, we chose Built- Well Builders. From the initial consultation we found Grant and Keith to be great to work with. They did an amazing job with the kitchen, which was on time and on budget and they kept us informed though out the project. They are professional, neat, responsive and personable. Their product knowledge along with vendor relationships were quite beneficial to us when selecting the materials needed for our kitchen. From demolition to the finished product, we were very satisfied and would definitely call Grant for our next project Edwin"

"Alex and his partner did an amazing job. Alex was immediately responsive, and when the piece to be assembled (a complicated Murphy bed) arrived, I texted him and he came the same day. He and his partner were polite, knowledgeable, efficient, and did an exceptional job. I recommend them without reservation. Five stars!"

"My parents and I live in a old brick apartment building in Hoboken that is from the 1880s. The bathroom in our apartment had not been updated since the 1940s. We needed help ASAP. We checked out Cesar s page and wanted to hire him immediately. The reviews speak for themselves. When he came into our apartment to give us a quote we knew that this was contractor we needed to get the job done. Cesar is affordable, friendly, and very accommodating to any issues or concerns you have before starting the project. Two massive issues with our project were that my dad has spinal & walking issues, so we needed the floors clear of all tools and materials at the end of the each day so that father could walk efficiently through the apartment. The other big issue was that we only have 1 bathroom, so Cesar agreed to work with us on pulling the toilet off and on as every day finished so that we did not have to leave our building to use the toilet. Him and his crew are the best and take pride in their work so that owner is happy with the final result. We brought the bathroom down to the bare bones and rebuilt it back up. I worked with him every step of the way to make sure that he needed all materials to get the job done in the time we needed. This project was an intense remodel with some of the hardest demo and substrate materials that an old bathroom can have. He didn t think anything of it. He has veteran experience in the field and this remodel only took 3 weeks. We are very impressed with Cesar s craftsmanship and professionalism and we will be hiring him again for any future interior projects."

Customers say: Quality work

"They are not local to my area. Please, hire local. And this is for Angi: Try not to recommend contractors who are a significant distance away, in this case around 80 miles (and 2 states) away. Great website, appears to be professionally designed and maintained, I like what they do (judging from the content in the website) but I am outside their service area. I don't live in that area. If I owned a home or apartment in that area, I would hire them."

"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!"

"Vinny is a trustworthy and professional contractor. He genuinely cares about the quality of his work and saving money for his customers. He was readily available for questions at all times and communicated very clearly all the work his company performs. He was very flexible on a job that became quite complex and was able to meet deadlines that were very important for me. I would gladly hire VW again for future projects and recommend them to anyone in need of household repairs."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

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.

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.

There are both temporary and permanent ways to enclose a carport. If you’re looking to enclose your carport for the winter, a canvas enclosure could do the trick. It won’t be as protective as a permanent structure, but it can offer some protection from elements like snow, rain, and wind. For a permanent enclosure, you can add extra walls, add a new vertical roof, or a lean-to addition on one side of the structure.
