"I will start off by saying I think I might be the only person in history to say that the renovation went perfectly and I was happy with everything. Let me explain. Wanted a full kitchen and bathroom renovation. We met with Efren (the owner of Nunez Construction) and he had an energy that made us realize that he was experienced and also was open to some new and interesting ideas. He promised the project would be done in 5 weeks - it ended up being 5 weeks and 3 days - essentially on time. The work was flawless and beautiful. He added little flourishes like saddles made of quartz and shelves in an area where a cabinet would not fit. Additionally the measurements from the get go were perfect - the cabinets were the right ones from the beginning and everything fit perfectly in the space on the first try. There were a handful of additional costs - custom shower door, glass cabinets for a bar we built and the appliances (not included in the contract price). All in, Efren stuck to his price, time frame and promise of quality work. Everything from the craftsmanship to the painting were impeccable. What I also appreciated about him was that we stayed in communication with each other from the start. If there was an idea that we presented to him that wouldn’t work in the space, he would let us know and suggest a viable alternative. Great collaboration. Will definitely work with him and his crew again. Already recommended to friends and neighbors."

"I called and they responded immediately.. Came out to house and gave a reasonable estimate for job.. I hired them and they had the job done in two days, workers were nice and friendly. They matched my siding and you can not even tell where the new siding was installed. Very happy with the job they did, decided to get to do my gutters also, and get a estimate for them to paint and seal my new deck. Patricia P"

Customers say: True professional

"I spoke with Boris to explain the problem I was having with my exterior front doors. We were having a lot of problems opening and closing the door. The frame was offline and the door dragging on the ground. The doors were in good condition but the frame was causing a head ache. I thought I would have to replace the whole unit (doors and frame). Golden Touch Remodelers fixed the frame and adjusted the doors. We were relieved. The worker were curious and easy to work with. They made sure that we were satisfied with the work. I would use them again."

"This is a follow-up to a review submitted October 19, 2018 the of excellent work of Rahat owner Kazi Ismail and his crew performed on rebuilding our back steps, and other work in the back of our of property. We were so impressed we immediately contracted him to tackle a far greater challenge: our crumbling front patio and stairs, retaining walls, fencing, and front entrance. The before and after pictures shown here tell the story better and any words we can add. As we mentioned before, Kazi’s principal aim is to make your home the most envied on the block. Not the gaudiest or flashiest, but the most balanced, functional and tastefully balanced. His suggestions for all the materials - brick, iron, and granite - makes for a truly pleasing, harmonious overall impression. After succeeding beyond our highest expectations at this task, we decided to go the distance for a total exterior renovation and contracted Kazi this year to replace our siding and window framing. (When his started removing the old siding, we were amazed to find out there was no installation over the original wood of our 120-year-old house! Our heating bills will be much lower this Winter). We would strongly advise homeowners to give great weight to Kazi’s design suggestions. It is often hard to select the options for materials he presents you with because they all would work. For the cornice and the front door overhang, Kazi found just right pieces that give the house that historical look that prior owners covered up or removed. As mentioned before, Kazi’s crew is excellent, hard working in any weather, prompt and overall pleasant to have around. Most important, we have never felt his estimates were inflated beyond expectation and was never surprised by overruns or other ‘surprises’. He will re-do any work that he isn’t totally satisfied with. Finally, as a testament to our good judgment and trust in Rahat, when all the work was finished, we’ve have had dozens of people (neighbors and strangers) walk by the house, stop and tell us how beautiful it looks!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

Professionals charge between $60 and $95 per hour to install ornamental porch columns. The amount of time they need varies based on the condition of the porch, whether they need to remove old columns, and if there is any damage to your porch's structure. This cost can increase if more issues come up during the installation process.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.
