"Darryl and his son did an amazing job on my back deck and my front covered porch. Communication was spot on, pricing was very reasonable and open to negotiations. These guys had to work through days of 100deg weather which is why they always started as early as they could knowing when i would be awake. I am already talking with him on future projects and i highly recommend you contact him for anything you need done."
"Still waiting on finances, but John’s professionalism was far beyond the other 6 contractors! When I am ready to start the job, John is my first go to guy!"
"Contractor always left us know when he was coming and/or sending other people to do work. Helped us with design process and made suggestions for a more workable layout. Also, if we saw things that needed some correction there was no hesitation to get it done. Happy with work and our new kitchen!"
"I was very happy with the work Castro did. I had a piece of Fascia blow off during a storm and needed to find someone who was able to shape the piece in order to properly fit. When I searched for companies on Angi Castro contacted me and came out to inspect the need the same day. They communicated very well, were quick to answer all of the questions that I had, and once I was ready to move forward with them they came out the next day to get it fixed. I was happy with the final product and would use them again for any other work I need."
"Mr. Price was a pleasure to deal with, came in on time and got the job done with none of of the horrible contractor nonsense we all fear. Would hire again in a hearbeat."
"He did a really good work. He was on time. He showed up when he was supposed to. The price was really good. He cleaned up after his mess. He got the job done when he said. I recommended him already to 4 or 5 people."
"Mr. Greg Martin and his team are very professional and they went above and beyond to meet the job needs. I would be very proud to recommend him to any family whom needs home improvement."
"Ben and his crew were amazing. We redid our garage entry to make it a mudroom / laundry / pantry / storage area. The job went quickly and we collaborated on solutions to our needs. At the end, we had custom cabinets, an awesome custom shelf on rollers, a stacked laundry, a hall tree, and more storage than we thought possible. All finished with great shiplap. They also took a HUGE room upstairs over our garage and gave us an extra laundry for the kids, a media room, and a fourth bedroom with walk in closet. They also gave us an extra storage area in the media room since the builder blocked off lots of usable space. The last project was giving our master a makeover. They moved 3 doors, moved our bathroom door, added a linen closet to the bathroom, moved the entry to the closet from the bathroom to the master and gave us a cool entrance to the bedroom. If you have a job to do, they'll do it right, work together to decide how things should look, and do an darn good job. All while respecting your budget. Overall, HIRE THEM!! Ben is very outgoing and fun to talk with. Can't say enough good things! Thanks Ben! We'll see you again for our next projects in the future."
Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.
New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.
The cost to install a bow window can range from $1,500 to $15,000, with a national average of $3,900. The total price includes materials, which can cost between $1,200 and over $14,000, and labor, which typically adds $300 to $1,900. Several factors influence the final cost, including the window's size and frame material. For example, vinyl frames are the most budget-friendly option, while wood frames are more expensive. Custom features or energy-efficient upgrades will also increase the price. For comparison, a bay window installation typically costs between $1,000 and $7,000.
When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.
When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.
