"Carlos came recommended by our structural engineer. I had met with 2 other contractors but they were not the right ones for the job. Our work included adding support beams in the attic involved opening up walls and ceiling, and to put the room back together installing new crown moldings etc. These guys are the best contractors I have worked with. (I have worked with several including 2 whole house remodel.) Their team always show up on time and are respectful of your space and clean after themselves. Carlos is organized, offers great communication and suggestions. Always keeping you appraised of progress and raise potential red flags. Their work passed City's inspection with no problem whatsoever. Would hire them again when it's time to remodel bathrooms."

"Everything went very well and to my satisfaction. Everything was done very timely and effortlessly. I have been burned in the past by contractors so I am always skeptical and afraid of having my work not completed but this was a very smooth process and I am using Richard and the company for future work involving larger home improvement jobs to my house."

Customers say: Quality work

"Excellent! Tony, the owner, was extremely communicative and went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of and keep me updated throughout the process. Late on a Monday night, I shared with Tony that I had had multiple contractors cancel on me last-minute and that, as a result, I was in a very difficult spot with little time to get the jobs completed that I needed done the very next day. Tony told me he would do whatever he could to move things around in his schedule and accommodate my needs. He did just that. The next morning, Ray (the handyman), was at my house at 10 am sharp — exactly the time I was told he would be there. Punctuality may be not a big deal to some, but as someone who has has found it very difficult to get contractors in ETX to show up on time — if at all (and do great work), this stood out to me as a beacon of integrity and professionalism in a sea of mediocrity. Ray was very good and completed the jobs to the exact specifications required."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.

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.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

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