"Marvin and his company Creative Remodeling and Restoration made initial contact with me the day of my initial request for a quote and his and mine schedule worked out to where he got out to my house the next day. This was a laminate floor repair and restoration job that I had tried myself to do but realized that I needed a professional with the tools and materials to properly do it. He did the repair and restoration of the flooring at a very fair price and I'm very happy with the results."

"We had a clear idea of what we wanted for this project, and when I contacted Jose, the first impression was excellent which, as we know, makes all the difference. He listened carefully to our ideas and provided thoughtful feedback on what could be achieved. From our initial concept to the final result, the experience was outstanding. It truly felt as though the build was being done for his own home or a family member—every detail was handled with care. Communication was consistent and personal, with daily updates that kept us informed throughout the process. We’re extremely happy with the outcome. If we have any future projects at home, we already know who to call. Excellent work highly recommended!"

"Due to a City of San Antonio road expansion project, I had to completely change the way I entered, parked and exited my personal vehicle onto my property. My present garage entry was no longer available to me. I now needed to have access into my garage from the opposite end of the garage building. Alamo City Handyman was paramount in helping me accomplish this multi-level goal. Dave successfully and smoothly coordinated this multi-phase project and cannot thank him and his company enough! Dave set up and provided an Electrician to install a new electrical outlet for the new garage door opener. The electrician arrived on time, he attached the long, electrical wire run neatly to the garage’s sheet rock ceiling, the newly installed outlet worked perfectly and he cleaned his work area nicely. Very professional job. Dave set up and provided the Construction Crew to make ready the garage wall (the opposite wall from the old garage door entry) for my vehicle’s entry, parking and exit. The tasks included; cutting out a 7 ft by 8 ft opening in the wall, supporting the opening with a new truss on the top and timbers on the side, framing and painting around the new opening and building a wooden ramp inside the garage to accommodate the different ground levels from outside to inside the garage. The last and most important step to me was to secure/close up the new opening with plywood and wooden cross braces until the new garage door arrived! Richard and his crew did an excellent job at each level on this part of the project! Dave set up and provided the Garage Door Installer crew. Alex and his installed my new garage door and door opener. This was a from scratch installation job that included; mounting new rail tracks and springs on the garage ceiling, installing the door itself, setting up the safety travel of the door, installing the new Lift Master garage door opener on the garage door wall, programming the new opener and the two remotes. Alex and crew did a very job on the trim work around the new garage door. All the door’s sensor wires were neatly placed and secured. Alex’s work was very meticulous and through at this last but extremely important stage of my new garage door project."

"I was a construction manager for several years and I know what to look for. The work performed for me was installing new door and frame and repairing front door frame. The work was performed in an outstanding manner and attention to detail was greatly noted. Will definitely use services in future."

"From the moment of our first contact with Integrated Outdoor Designs to the completion of a complicated project, three months later, everything was handled seamlessly with great professionalism, efficiency, and excellence. They designed a product that more than met our needs, cleared all our documents with our POA, always announced when they were coming and came and worked efficiently and cleaned up afterward. We are now enjoying a great enhancement of our property. Our project included expanding our deck, building a stairway, building a garden house and building a fire pit circular area."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

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.
