"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."

"As a professional carpenter and cabinet maker, I had been confident in my ability to restore the all-wood 100 year old house my wife and I purchased when moving to Texas.  Over the course of the first year, I realized my confidence wasn't misplaced, but it would take me approximately eleventy bajillion more months to finish by myself than I had originally estimated.  Admittedly in over my head, I started looking for reinforcements.
I contacted about a dozen companies from referrals and online reviews.  Enthusiasm and prices were all over the board; after many dropped off the face of the earth or were clearly not that excited about taking on a difficult, grueling job, I selected Brian and his crew from the remaining three.  His pricing structure made me a little nervous (weekly rates versus a flat bid), but I appreciated his excellent communication (very rare, I discovered) and his instant understanding of what I had gotten myself into.
Brian's crew was excellent.  They showed up on time, we collaborated on an initial plan of attack, and his guys immediately set to building an incredibly intricate series of scaffolding - which allowed them to get up close to third-story areas I had all but given up on.  After three months, the entire house had been transformed, and we were receiving raves from anyone passing by about how great the place looked.  In a neighborhood known for constant high-end renovations and battles against mother nature's destructive powers, Lakewood Restoration's results were clearly way above the norm.  And this is coming from an unusually persnickety craftsman/carpenter (whom they graciously contended with all along the way).
My only minor issue came with the cost.  It was difficult to compare them against other bids, and my wife and I wound up spending considerably more than we had initially planned (but when doesn't that happen).  We would have probably spent even more with other traditional companies and dealt with unending change orders, though, so in the end I'm fully satisfied with their value.  I don't regret signing off on anything I shifted onto their scope.  It was also clear that they were not the turn-and-burn type of contractor who were just out to make a buck; they do great work at the appropriate speed without trying to race on to the next job or constantly up-sell services.
In the end, I highly recommend using these guys, especially if you have a non-traditional project that requires more attention and communication than one of the giant companies can provide.  I've already recommended them on other projects in which I'm involved, and I'll continue to enthusiastically enlist their services when I have the need!

"I had some wood rot around the entrance to my garage so metroplex pro builders came out and gave an estimate. Manny was professional and flexible. He was willing and able to meet me at my convenience. We signed a contract and workers were here the next morning. Manny and his crew got the job done. They did five star work. I recommend them for professionalism and quality work. And they get the job done fast."

"Paul and co. did an excellent job. This was our second time working with Paul and we highly recommend him and his crew. They gave us a firm price and were very responsive. Also, they were extremely professional and friendly. I do believe that he and his son will be our contractors for a very long time. Very pleased with the results."

"Eric and his crew repainted my porch and exterior of the entire house and turned a shower into a closet as well as other work in my master bathroom. I have to say I’ve been in construction on and off all my life and I’ve always strive to be the best and have my advertisements done by word-of-mouth and I could not have asked for a better job than was done on my house by Eric. Straight line home services. The work is impeccable and they were on time every time and cleaned up explicitly. I will definitely use this company in the future for all my home repairs and remodels."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

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.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

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.
