"We hired Matt for an addition of a great room and kitchen remodel (which ended up being an entire ground floor remodel) and Wow! Matt and his team (big shout out to Tony!) truly took our dream and made it a reality. At first we had met with a few other contractors who came in with sky high quotes that would have given us a simple addition with basic materials. Matt came through with a MUCH better quote including premium finishes and some original ideas on top of what we had in mind that we NEVER thought would be possible on our budget. Through the whole process, Matt, his team and everyone he brought in were extremely professional, courteous, clean and talented. Every time a big part of the project was completed I was blown away with the results. We even threw a curveball when our second child came a week early, but they stepped up and got a ton of work done so we could return to a livable space. At the end of the day we got everything on our wish list and even some things we didn’t even think we could wish for! We could not be happier with the outcome of the project! A big thank you to Matt and his team!"

"I can’t recommend Farzad highly enough! He completely transformed my home from top to bottom. He installed beautiful new flooring throughout the house, replaced all of the windows, and completely remodeled my bathrooms. Every part of the project was completed with exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Farzad was professional, reliable, and easy to work with from start to finish. He communicated clearly throughout the entire process, showed up when he said he would, and made sure everything was done the right way. His work exceeded my expectations, and the finished result has completely changed the look and feel of my home. If you’re looking for an honest, skilled, and dependable contractor who truly takes pride in his work, I highly recommend Farzad. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again for future projects. Thank you for the incredible work!"

"Would you like quality workmanship at a fair price? Then please reach out to Jason and his son, Anthony. First, they are honest about the cost and installation of products and services. Second, they are reliable. If they say they will show up --- they will actually show up, work hard, and be respectful of your property. Third, they are trustworthy. Even when I had to come and go occasionally, they were careful not to let the cat outside and never touched other precious items in our home. Jason and Anthony took an old attic and transformed it into a safer, beautiful, clean storage space/office space. They added sheetrock walls and ceiling; electrical outlets and lighting; wood trim around windows. The finished space will raise the value of our home and our quality of life substantially. Thanks, guys!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

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.

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.
