"Jeff did a beautiful job transforming our upstairs powder room into a full fledged bathroom. It was not a simple project since he had to build out the alcove for the shower stall even before building the stall itself. But everything was done with skill, professionalism, a concern for our having to live in the house and an extraordinary attention to detail that extended all the way to where towel racks should go. Jeff has also installed a dishwasher and garbage disposal for us. - from scratch - with excellent results. Jeff is a problem solver, the sort of professional you want for any job. We urge anyone who wants a home project accomplished well at a reasonable price to hire Jeff. You will be satisfied with the results."

"We had an excellent experience working with this company on a home renovation. They remodeled the bathroom and finished the basement to better accommodate our adult autistic son, and the entire process was handled with care and professionalism. They were easy to work with, honest and upfront about any issues that came up, and always communicated clearly. Most importantly, they completed the work in a timely manner without sacrificing quality. It meant a great deal to us to have a team that was respectful of our family’s needs and took the time to do things the right way. We are extremely happy with the results and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, trustworthy contractors."

"Chris was recommended by a colleague who is a perfectionist. I therefore knew immediately this would be a great referral. We needed Chris to undo a badly botched wallpaper removal & paint job. A number of paint contractors had assessed this job & refused to take it on. Chris’ team acknowledged that it would be a difficult job but in the end did stunning work. Importantly, they started & completed the work in the time frame promised. He also kept to his original quote & checked daily on our satisfaction. Without a doubt the best painting work we have had done in 35 years. We would definitely hire Chris for any future projects & recommend him highly."

Customers say: Quality work

"We hired Mike initially to fix the drywall and paint the interior of the condo that we were planning to move in. He was very easy to communicate from the beginning to the end, showed up on time and worked hard every day, did a thorough job that did not miss any details and gave us a very fair price. Because we liked him so much, we ended up hiring him for other jobs including plumbing, lighting, installing appliances and cabinet painting. Throughout this process, he was trustworthy, very knowledgeable in his work and tried really hard to accommodate my schedule. Although we were on a tight schedule, we were able to move into our apartment on time because of his excellent work ethic. I would definitely hire him again and highly recommend him for any home improvement projects."

"Jim, Anthony, and Nicole did an outstanding job resurfacing our kitchen cabinets. Everyone thinks we replaced them because of how professionally Munion Cabinets performed the resurfacing. They also did an outstanding job installing a ceramic tile floor in our powder room as well as panel flooring in the laundry room. I highly recommend Munion Cabinets for any type of remodeling work. They are professional and honest and very easy to work with."

"John was very responsive in providing the estimate and answering questions I had. He finished the deck project within the timeline he had promised. He even came back to fix a small area that had been damaged by one our our dogs. I would definitely hire John again."

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.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

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.

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.
