"Fantastically well. The quality of the work performed was top notch and the individuals on the team were highly professional and very personable. The lead, Samuel Nelson, listened carefully to everything that I said and then provided valuable feedback that resulted in a better outcome and lower overall cost. I am more than pleased to be able to recommend Nelson General Contractor."

"The cost and execution of an extensive renovation project are stressful and overwhelming. You need a contractor that understands your vision, protects your investment, and respects your budget. We received several quotes before awarding the project to Joe Stillman. It felt like we found a unicorn, and Joe & company did not disappoint! It starts from the top, Joe, Rebecca, Kris, Robert (our fantastic Project Manager), Steven, and others, who treated our project as if it was their own with integrity and the highest standards. Each day, the team arrived on time, checked in at the start of the day, and provided a recap at the end and what to expect the next day, soliciting feedback along the way. It was so exciting to see our dream kitchen come to fruition (on time and on budget!). We would not hesitate to recommend Joe Stillman to our family and friends; exceptional craftsmanship! Big thanks to Joe Stillman and the team; we are so appreciative!"

"We had a terrible experience with another contractor who had left us high and dry and with a massive sanitation and safety hazard on our hands. Paul and his team were able to swiftly come in and address all problems as well as highlight design/layout choices made by the previous contractors that simply didn't make sense. They repaired items that had been damaged by the previous crew, swiftly got the remodel completed, and did so all while acting in a professional and courteous manner. The price was fair for the work and both Paul and his foreman checked in repeatedly over the next few weeks after completion of the remodel to ensure that everything was still in good condition, that we were still happy with the work, and to ensure there was nothing that we failed to think of or get addressed during the project. We would absolutely hire Paul and his crew for subsequent work in the future."

"I was very impressed with Fabiano Construction and the pro who did the work at my home. They replaced my stairs and handrail! The pro was so friendly and genuinely cared about the job he was doing. He was very professional and his work was impeccable! He was neat and cleaned up along the way. He answered all our questions and never acted like we were disturbing him. I would recommend this company to perform all your construction projects! They are a 10!!"

"

I interviewed 4-5 angie list contractors.  Total Home was second most competitive on price, but I chose them because of their professionalism throughout the process.  Some of the other contractors, while I'm sure they would have done a good job end of day, I didn't have anywhere near the same confidence level that they would complete on time and on budget.  Tom was a pro from day 1...accurate on budget, 2. responsive, 3. responsive in punch items after the main construction was done.

If you want a professional good contractor you can have faith in doing what they say throughout the process, Total Home is a good choice.  Bathroom came out really well.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.
