"Our primary bathroom remodel by Sosa General Contractor LLC is a true oasis with its serene color palette and spa-like features. With Jose Sosa as our our general contractor we experienced a seamless transformation with excellent craftsmanship.

He was so attentive and sensitive to our special needs. From design consultation to clear communication with Jose we achieved a finished product that closely matches the initial vision, and a smooth project execution with minimal disruption, leaving us highly satisfied with our primary bath! We highly recommend Sosa General Contractor LLC!"

"Fall Hill Contractor does excellent work. They listen carefully to your comments and will make adjustments if needed. What I like best about Fall Hill Contractors is that they are honest. They do what say they are going to do at the price originally given"
"Contractor painted 18 ft high foyer and family room. Installed glass mosaic tile backsplash in kitchen. Very professional work. Project was done faster than expected. Price was reasonable. Very pleased with end results. Would hire again for additional projects."
"Went wonderful with the contractor. They were great to work with and helped us navigate a very troublesome insurance company. They drove from northern Virginia to silver spring to do the work as well, not any easy task and a long commute in traffic. They were just great."
Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.
Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.
House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.
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.
To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.
