"I never contacted the provider or used this service in anyway. I have to
write this review so that the request to write this review stops
popping up.
The rating is bogus as it is required to be able to submit.

"Juan was 100% professional beginning with our initial phone call. After getting the run around from other providers Juan made time out of his busy schedule to meet up that same day for a complimentary consultation. I had talked to a couple other businesses leading up to this and none were going to be able to provide the service I was wanting. I needed a new television wall mounted with all in wall concealed cables as well as existing wall outlets concealed/removed, and a new outlet installed directly behind the television for a modern clutter free clean look. The job was going to require a significant amount of electrical work, cutting into dry wall, patching drywall, and then repainting entire wall in matching paint color. we agreed upon a price which was less than I had been quoted from others and for work that would have left me needing to hire separate contractors for drywall and painting. Communication was great and he was timely and ready to work each day we met. At the end of each day he spent time cleaning leaving my home in the same condition it was in when he arrived. I felt confident throughout the entire process which ended up turning out even better than I had imagined. While he was working he was even willing to diagnose and look at some other projects that I have in mind in the future. You cant go wrong hiring campos landscaping. He’s one of those people that takes pride in his work and will go above and beyond to make sure your happy with the end result. If I could give more than five stars I gladly would and I look forward to working with him again in the future."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

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.
