"They were prompt on both mornings they worked putting down tile one day and laminate flooring the next day. They cleaned up their work area before leaving the first day and by the end of the second day our home was back to it's new and improved self. The quality of work was A+. I will definitely call them for my next project."
We had 3 bids all through Angie's List, one of the companies Granite Outlet II that we had used before. The other two bids were from Solid Stone Fab. and KAT Fab
Most of the bids were similar, except all of the companies provided different prices for removal, sink cutout, plumbing for rehook-up of sink, and rehooking up stove top.
Granite Outlet II had a plumber in-house. Solid Stone had a recommendation for a plumber and KAT didn't provide a recommendation.
We kept our backslash and KAT was the only company that had an issue with cutting it down if needed. And it was cut to allow for the quartz.
We chose Solid Stone Fabricators because we trusted Claudia to do a good job for us. She was very attuned to our needs and anytime we asked her a question if she didn't already know it she got right back with us. She took good notes and made sure we were getting exactly what we wanted. She was very professional and a pleasure to work with. We went to see the where the countertops were fabricated at Solid Stone and we also went to Cambria Quartz in Carrollton and looked at the Quartz we wanted and received large samples there.
They came out and measured and showed up on time, then we scheduled for the install.
The installers showed up at their scheduled time and finished in less then 5 hours. The next morning the plumber came and hooked the sink and stove back up.
Claudia came out a few days later and bought us our extra quartz. its VERY heavy but we wanted to keep it and they also made us a cutting board.
"Excellent. Clay was always on time, knew exactly what he was doing and saved me tens of thousands compared to competitors. I hired him for numerous other jobs. He is highly skilled, intelligent and trust worthy."
"We hired G & H Remodeling and Construction to do some drywall repair both in a wall and ceiling. He did a fantastic job! He went above and beyond by replacing a stud in the attic to keep the issue from occurring again. He kept the workspace very clean while working."
"Blake Zientkowski with ROCA was the general contractor for the repair of the hail and wind damage to our home. Blake is very very thorough, knowledgeable and he is a great communicator. He worked with our insurance company to get us a very fair and complete estimate. We would use Blake again. I would ask him to be somewhat more visible on location during the work process. "
"It went FANTASTIC! They completely remodeled the interior of my 20 year old home and relandscaped the outdoors. I made a 175% profit on the sale of my home. Very detail oriented and meticulous in the craftsmanship!"
Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.
A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.
You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.
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.
Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.
