"Called and gave a scope of the work and was given a quote which I accepted. The guys showed up at exactly 8am as promised. Placed tarps in the work area and out to the front door. Proceeded to do the work removing old stairs and framing out the ceiling. Installed new stairs in place. Kept me appraised as to their progress. Completed the job on time. Cleaned up the work area. Happy with the way the job went. Would higher again."

"Needed the high portions on a 2 story home painted. Steep roof pitch required safety and careful planning. Job was performed in a professional manner. Completed on time and on budget. Work site was cleaned to pre work condition. Very happy with the quality work and service."

"We hired Abdul, of RRS Builders, to take over a stalled deck construction and installation project from a previous contractor who had disappeared with our money. We had a hard time finding someone to take over the partially-started, messy job, requiring many corrections. We found RRS through the subcontractor who had fabricated the frame of the deck, and had also been robbed by the first contractor. Before signing a contract, we thoroughly researched RRS and Abdul through a private investigator, who found no problems. Abdul corrected all of the first contractor's mistakes and built us a beautiful deck in just a couple weeks. His crew was reliable, meticulous, and respectful and his pricing was reasonable. DOB immediately approved the deck on our land marked building without any issues. We would love to work with Abdul again and will go to RRS immediately with any future jobs."

Customers say: Quick response

"Endri was very easy to deal with in getting the proposal, making and keeping the appointment, and doing the work. He is clearly experienced in making customers happy, not just doing the job and moving on. I hired him for two projects: replacing a toilet and replacing a steam radiator. He did both in a few hours. The jobs were mainly straight-forward, but the radiator proved not to be a straight replacement. But he got the necessary parts and fittings and completed the job within the time frame we had originally estimated. He left the areas where he had worked as clean if not cleaner than they had been before. I plan to make him my go-to pro for plumbing. He also has experience in minor electrical work and light remodeling. (Not in my experience, but other people I know who have worked with him have confirmed this.) Based on how easy it was to work with him on the plumbing work, I also plan to use him for other projects I have that are not plumbing-related."

"Angel and his team did top quality work for us. Whether it was painting and spackling, building or tiling, they go out of their way to make sure everything is perfect. But best of all is that their love and kindness shine brightly. I am so happy I found them on Angie?s list. I would highly recommend this company."

"The idea of having pretty significant interior work performed in my house, with a pregnant wife, child, and elderly parents living there was an ongoing headache. I was recommended Olsenâ s Renovations through an acquaintance, and was truly happy with the choice. Olsen was well spoken at the initial contact, provided an honest estimate, and work started on the promised date. The experience was as stress-free (is there such a thing?) as these circumstances allow. The young man is a pro at his trade, safe, clean and punctual. Drywall install for a new space/plaster/paint was done as well as I could have hoped for, and I highly recommend his company. Thank you Olsen, and best of luck. Your hard work and winning attitude will surely pay off."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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. 

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.
