"I was very pleased with the quality of the carpentry work but the painter who worked with the carpenter did not do a quality job. Would hire the carpenter again but would not opt to have anything painted."
"I worked with Curtis to get the project going- it involved staining a wood fireplace mantel in our home. Unfortunately we had a chance of heart about staining it and did not proceed with the project. However, I really appreciated Curtis's upfront cost breakdown, etc. He gave me a detailed price and explained how the quote was developed. He was also extremely professional when we decided not to proceed."
"I chose Marcelino because of all the high ratings he received for his work. He lived up to the praise in both his work and treatment of me as a customer. His prices are very reasonable, he and his crew are on time and very professional. He not only treated me with patience and friendliness, but his work was excellent. In fact, he helped me figure out what I needed and did great designs for the work. One other thing that was very important to me is that other companies I quoted would have limits on what they did. So when I had specialized needs or little requests, they would say, "We don't do that." But Marcelino would do it. He did everything I needed, even small specialized things, and all completely professional. He went above and beyond. I hired him three times. First for my bedroom closet and office credenza. Then for a living room credenza, bathroom cabinets, kitchen roll-out cabinets and laundry room build out. Now, he is going to do my garage. I wouldn't use anyone else."
"Repairs to railing, powerwashing, sanding, staining. They did an excellent job with the deck, Ray was straightforward and honest through the entire process."
"I hired Sonart Construction to remodel my sons bedroom and they did a great job. The price was very good, they was on time with their job, and it came out beautiful. Very good company."
"We hired Jerry and his team to do recaulking and paint touch-ups around the exterior of the house, and they did a really thorough job. The house is a two-story building, so that was great service. They cleaned up afterward and asked us to check the work to ensure everything was covered. We highly recommend them to anyone."

"They did an absolutely beautiful job building a composite deck in our backyard. The men who built it were very nice and talented craftsmen. We are enjoying the deck and look forward to not having to maintain it. We would definitely hire them again!"
"Ray was awesome, showed up on time and did a great job on a very tedious door frame repair. As others have mentioned, cleaned up and very professional."
"I want to say that Mike did an incredible job putting together my furniture. I had a bed frame, gel mattress, dresser and futon. He made sure that all the parts fit. He made sure he kept the areas clean. He even took his shoes off so it wouldn't scratch up my floors. He is very professional, friendly and excellent at his job. I definitely will be calling again for his help. Thanks again Mike"
New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.
Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.
Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.
Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.
Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.
