"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."

"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.

"Very nice to do business with, complyâ s with what you want done. Fair pricing, keeps you posted as to the time frame agreed on. Installers know there business, get in and get the job done. The owner Mr. Alex Pujol is hands on and a pleasure to do business with. I would hire them again in a heartbeat....."

"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."

"Great price, on-time, great results, professionally done. We had a removal of a chain-link fence, construction of a new wood fence, and a new outside door where a bay window used to be. All were done with great results...will hire them again !"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.
