"After the toilet was changed on 9/1/23. The plumber refused to caulk the gap at the base of the new toilet. Gaudioso didn’t respond to my request to fix it. That left a gap and roaches were roaming out from that gap into my apartment for 11 days until I hired a handyman to caulk it. It costed me extra money and emotional distress"

NYC renovations are complex, expensive, and full of hidden costs. As an Owner’s Representative, I work for you—not the contractors—to protect your budget, prevent delays, and ensure quality work. You get all the benefits of running your own project and saving thousands—without the stress, wasted time, or costly surprises. How I Help: Project Setup – I handle building approvals, permits, and competitive bidding, sourcing multiple contractor and material quotes to ensure you’re getting fair pricing and avoiding unnecessary costs. You stay in control while I handle the headaches. Project Oversight – I act as your eyes and ears on-site, holding contractors accountable, ensuring work is done right the first time, and catching issues before they turn into expensive problems. Whether you want to be hands-on or completely hands-off, I customize my services to fit your needs. Save thousands, eliminate stress, and make sure your renovation is done right. Let’s talk about your project today!

"Every step of the process was handled with care, ensuring a smooth and stress-free renovation. They provided great design insights, helped with material selection, and maintained clear communication throughout. The attention to detail in the tiling, fixtures, and overall finish truly transformed the space into something both functional and stylish. Thanks to their skill and dedication, my bathroom now feels modern, elegant, and thoughtfully designed. If you're looking for a reliable and talented renovation team, I highly recommend Project Rep!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

Any bowing in a basement wall signals an issue that needs to be addressed. However, bowing of 2 to 4 inches is more straightforward to fix than bowing of more than 4 inches. That’s why it’s essential to call a pro as soon as you notice the bowing wall. The sooner you address the problem, the easier (and less expensive) it will be to repair.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.
