"I have a small house and decided to convert a room for much needed storage. Marcelino worked with me to include every detail I wanted such as space for larger framed items, shelf partitions for the smaller framed items with open space across the top of the 3 units for longer items such as a 10-pack of fluorescent lights. The units are floor to ceiling and integrated into the base and ceiling trim. The materials and workmanship are excellent and the pricing is very reasonable. I will be adding a smaller 2-unit in my office later this year. Marcelino and Laura are a joy to work with, and I highly recommend them."

"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 whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.

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, 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.

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.
