"The jobs not done yet, but right out of the gate I was impressed with their courtesy, knowledge, and professionalism. They are very personable and clearly capable of taking care of my issues, which include plumbing, patching, carpentry, painting, and water/mold mitigation. They were able to come out quickly when I needed them, and are working with my schedule to get the job done. I'll be sure to update when the jobs complete!"

"Very professional. They had an issue with the pressure washer. Came back the next morning (worked with me on time) to finish. While they were here on day 1, they noted additional things for me: 1) roof had mold/moss on it 2) gutter was not pitched correctly They gave me a "package deal" for the power washing and roof cleaning. it looks great. Gutters look like new. Stucco (that was stained and black under the deck) looks like new. I'm very happy and would recommend!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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. 

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

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.
