"Luis and his helper did a fabulous job on my 40 year old oak kitchen cabinets today. They look like new now! Also mirror frame and vanity in my bathroom were all water stained and ugly and now they are transformed! Luis is very skilled in many areas of carpentry and remodeling. Very nice guy too, explains things patientlly and listens to what you want. I recommend him for anything, He showed me impressive pictures of large projects he is done, but said he will take on even small projects. Great work!"

"GG Remodeling are the pros you want to hire. We hired Gustavo and his crew for several projects to renovate our 1960s ranch, including interior and exterior construction, electrical work, as well as finishes such as flooring and trim. We have been impressed by his professionalism, friendliness, and skill. He completes jobs quickly, which, as a busy family, we truly appreciated, and always gave us plenty of updates. His pricing is also very competitive even though the quality of his work is on par with more expensive pros. We definitely hope to hire GG remodeling for more jobs in the future!"

"Louis took on a repair he was not familiar with, He figured it out to a successful finish. The job involved rebuilding the base of a recliner. He was very professional and it was a pleasure to have him in our home."

"We had a great experience with Bradley Russell Construction on our outdoor patio remodel. They were easy to work with, detail-oriented, and the final result exceeded our expectations. Even went above and beyond with design ideas when I mentioned I wanted to add more entertainment space. Highly recommend !"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

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.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.
