"Mr. Cortez did an outstanding job replacing the siding above my garage door. He was very communities and even caulked an area near my downspouts. He even checked my other downspouts to make sure they were OK. I was very pleased!"

"I would highly recommend this business.  We had them come and restain the deck and at first just powerwash the house.  They scheduled the work right away.  After doing the pressure washing, there were some areas with paint chips under the soffit.  Mike offered to repaint those for free.  During this, they noticed areas of the soffit that were rotten, so we had them repair those areas of the wood.  They also fixed a few screens that were damaged during the pressure washing for free.  
Everything turned out great, and we are very happy we had this work done.  Mike and Crystal are very professional and easy to work with.  I will be having them do some more work on our house in the near future.

"The plans were approved by the city the same day my financing came through, and I was assured that we would be done by Thanksgiving.  I discovered that a project like this is as much work for the customer as it is for the builder - cabinets and bookshelves need to be emptied so furniture can be moved to make way for the workers, and the actual work - wall removal, carpet removal, etc.  And because I have a dog and two cats, I sometimes had to be home for certain stages of the work.  Victor was good about advising me of the upcoming schedule, so that I could plan my days, and the pre-work needed on my part.  Sometimes he had to work around my schedule, and he was very gracious about that.  Bottom line - the project was completed 2 days before Thanksgiving, and the crews even helped move my furniture back into place.  
A couple of times, things specified in the plans didn't work as well as expected.  Victor was great at seeing this as it came up, and making adjustments that worked better than the original idea. The sub-contractors also sometimes saw things that they thought might be better if done a little differently, and discussed their suggestions with me, so I could decide what I wanted (things like placement of lights, outlets, etc)   The workers cleaned up after themselves, both inside and out, and everybody was polite and considerate, not only of me but of my pets. 
I love my new space, and all of my visitors do, too.  My family decided that I should host Christmas as well as Thanksgiving.  The new space is light and airy, and the floor is lovely.  I almost hate to put area rugs on it, but will, to protect it from furniture scuffs, and to make my blind dog more secure."

"Luke was a gift! He responded quickly to my call and was able to start painting two days later. He was professional, knowledgeable, on time and always cognizant of the fact that I was working from home while he was painting. He meticulously painted my entire house and it looks amazing. I highly recommend Luke, you will not be disappointed."
After.. what an amazing difference!

Unfinished Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Yes, using certified lumber and engineered wood products for reduced environmental impact.

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. 

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.
