"Very professional and pristine work. The work he did for me on my wrought iron chairs looked better than if i’d purchased them brand new. I will certainly call on him any for any work I need. Also, the price was extremely fair."

"Mr Garcia and his team were great to work with. Very professional and reliable. They went above and beyond and I couldn't recommend them more. He has communicated well about start times and when he will be arriving each day, took great care of the property, and executed the painting and repair as a true professional. One of the best I have worked with and can not wait to have the opportunity to work with him again."

"Calvin was very professional and was reliable for him and/or his crew to be there at the right time. I also needed exterior wood repair (fairly extensive) and he had a carpenter to do that. I was very pleased with the process and the finished product. I will definitely hire him again!"

"Omar Hernandez did exactly what I asked him to do- replaced majority of my pool deck and two stairways. I unexpectedly requested power washing and hanging gutters on my covered porch, which he expertly accomplished. Omar was punctual and precise, from beginning to end. I’ll definitely hire him again."

"A neighbor mentioned Jorge to me a while back when I was looking for someone to help with a paint job. I am so glad they did what started as a one-time project quickly turned into an ongoing relationship. Jorge has since helped me with everything from roofing and home repairs to random odd jobs I did not even know who to call for. He is reliable, kind, and takes real pride in the quality of his work. You can tell he genuinely cares, and he approaches every job with integrity and attention to detail. He communicates clearly, shows up when he says he will, and never cuts corners. Jorge is now my first call when something needs to get done around the house. I have recommended him to others more times than I can count and for good reason. He is one of those rare people you feel lucky to have on your team."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

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.
