"Alexey listened to our request for a deck screen and door, as well as building cabinets in our hallway. The work was all finished in one day. The quality was top-notch, the price fair. Strongly recommended."

"I am so glad I hired Pinnacle Contractors to build a dog run fence and small deck. We had a challenging space because of buried utility wires and cables and they were very creative in coming up with solutions. They did a beautiful job and were very responsive to my Vision for the project. They exceeded my expectations!"

"It was wonderful to work with tony. He had great ideas. He also helped me make the entire deck better, sturdier, safer and more aesthetically pleasing. Very easy to talk to and on top of his projects. The only reason for a 4.0 for value was not even tony s Fault. rather it s the fact that I wasn t extremely ready for that much of a higher premium for trex decking. I didn t feel forced to make this decision. I was presented with good options. I hope to not ever need to repair my deck but should I ever have a deck to build in the future in another home, I know who to call!"

Customers say: Super punctual

"If you need work done on your house, hire Rob. I can’t sing his praises loudly enough. Two years ago, my husband and I purchased a house that is 100 years old. It is in decent shape, but we wanted to do a lot of work to turn it into our dream house. Rob has been our go-to man throughout this extensive process, and we can’t imagine having done it without him. In fact, without him, I don’t think it could have gotten done, or rather it would have been MUCH harder (me having to find people for each job), and slower. Rob can do everything. He has replaced every door in our house, all door knobs, hinges and other hardware, all lighting fixtures. He has updated the closets and replaced closet doors. He has replaced our front door and the entire frame. He took out and then covered over this weird door that made no sense and that I wanted to simply be a wall. We want to renovate both bathrooms, and he will do this, and I know he will complete them in a timely manor and that his work will"

"Alexsei came through when we were really in a pinch. We were having new florring installed and found disaster under the carpet. Alexsei was fast to respond to my call, came out immediately to assess the job and finished two difficult projects in one week! We are very happy with the quality of work and speediness of completion. I'd recommend Patron General Construction to anyone needing carpentry work done."

Carpentry questions, 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.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.
