"Company rep was very professional and accommodating - he was able to salvage my shutter's broken frame and reinstalled it after repair instead of automatically recommending replacement of both shutters. Work was excellent quality, done in a timely manner and well priced."

"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."

"TX Thunderbolt Fences did an amazing job on our fence, we also had them install a carport. Very high quality craftsmanship and they started the job and completed in a very timely manner. I would highly recommend Carlos to build your fence or carport."

"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."

"I actually mixed up my contractors and replied to Vern by mistake, thinking he was someone else. Turns out it was a lucky mistake. Not only did he take on the job another contractor bailed on (assembling a bookcase), but he also wall-mounted a TV, fixed my driveway gate, and reinforced a wobbly railing on my front steps so it’s now completely solid and steady. All of that — and at really fair prices. I’m already making a new list of projects around the house because I’m genuinely happy to have found someone reliable, skilled, and reasonably priced. It’s such a relief to finally have a handyman I can trust."

"Absolute top quality professionalism from beginning to end. We had Urban Legend Woodworking install a library wall, with ladder, in our home office. It is absolutely incredible craftsmanship. When we have another carpentry project that we need done in our home, I would not hesitate for one second to have Urban Legend Woodworking be my first and only call. Thank you!!"

"This was a major scope-creap project.  Started out with repairs to a closet that had held the water heater.  Then we expanded the project to include refinishing and painting  the walls in two bedrooms, a hall, a bathroom, the laundry room - and installing wood floors in the entire bedroom wing of the house, including closets.  So all furnishings were removed and replaced.  Plus we added new doors through-out the house - started with three doors and finished with 12 - door frames are all off alittle due to this being a 45 year-old house.
Paul and his team were very flexible, were very diligent, and cleaned up after themselves.  They started at 8:00 am and finished at 6:00 pm.  They only took breaks for lunch - no smoke breaks, or rest breaks - they worked!
When I asked about floors, Paul brought in a sub-contractor that laid new hickory foors - previously carpet - and they were finished to our specifications with a matching stain to the wood in our living areas.
Paul Alvarez was on-site throughout the project and acted as my project manager - we had a running list of items that we worked through  together and he kept up with the list.
The last item that they finished was the wine closet that they created from the old water heater closet - creative solution.
We will have Paul and team back after the first of the year to refinish our bedroom/office, which will be a small project by comparison.
Paul helped us to create solutions around color and texture for the rooms that we finished and he ensured that the work was performed to our satisfaction.  His team treated our home and furnishings with the same care that they would use in their own homes - they were all professional and courteous.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

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 both temporary and permanent ways to enclose a carport. If you’re looking to enclose your carport for the winter, a canvas enclosure could do the trick. It won’t be as protective as a permanent structure, but it can offer some protection from elements like snow, rain, and wind. For a permanent enclosure, you can add extra walls, add a new vertical roof, or a lean-to addition on one side of the structure.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off.
