"Two level deck needed minor surface rot repair, power washing, and staining. Flores Enterprises LLC quoted and completed the work in the same business week. Attention to detail on staining is excellent. Provided photos of repairs and completed work and kept me informed on any issues which arose. Would definitely hire again."

"Harold was very responsive, was on time for appointment. He explained exactly what he was proposing for the repair of my deck. My deck and stairs are now safe and usable again and will be for many more years. The price is what I would have expected for a job well done! Everything was back in place and the deck was clean at the close of the project."

Customers say: Quality work

"I recently had the pleasure of hiring Crowning Touch to work on a wall feature in my condo, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, they exceeded all expectations. Right from the initial consultation, it was evident that professionalism was his hallmark. Guy was consistently punctual, arriving on time and ready to work diligently. His cordial demeanor made the entire process not only smooth but also enjoyable. One of the most notable aspects of his service was his attention to detail. Despite the challenges posed by working in a condo environment, they exhibited a level of care and precision that truly set him apart. It was evident that he took great pride in his craft, ensuring that every aspect of the project was executed flawlessly. What's more, Crowning Touch’s pricing was incredibly reasonable, offering excellent value for the high-quality work they delivered. In a market where quality often comes at a premium, Crowning Touch provides an unbeatable combination of affordability and excellence. Without a doubt, I will be returning to Crowning Touch for any future carpentry needs. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and fair pricing make them the obvious choice for anyone seeking top-notch carpentry services. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in search of a reliable and skilled carpenter."

"Highly recommend anyone looking to do anything with a deck or porch to give Nestor a call. He was very professional, detailed, and knows what is needed to be up to code. Unfortunately I had bought a house with a deck that was not on code, but luckily by calling Nestor, I am now not just up to code but with a great looking deck! Also the price, I dont think you will find another company that will beat his price for what he builds for you. His cost was even less than what a handyman had quoted me. Quality is first, but when it comes with a great price as well, why would you say no? Again, highly recommending NV Outdoors!"

"Great. Mike and I talked briefly through Angie's List messaging system, I described what I needed, he quoted an hourly rate along with estimate of time needed, we set up a time and were good to go. Showed up on time, I explained what I needed done showing him each item and he got to work. Kitchen faucet: I thought it was just a bad washer or o-ring, but it turned out to be a plastic part (that interacted with a metal part) that had worn out deep inside the faucet, which he found by disassembling the faucet. Showed me where it was and what it did, and unfortunately there was no replacement part available. Also explained that he had seen black/rusty water when he was taking things apart and the valve/lines under the sink needed replacing too. (This explained some odd tastes we were getting from the sink water.) He asked me what type of faucet and quality level I wanted (cheapest, most expensive, middle), went out and bought it plus the other needed parts, returned and installed it all. Works great and the water doesn't taste odd anymore. What I thought was a simple job turned out to be more complex and longer. Bathroom sink faucets: Fairly straight forward replacement, though he did have to shorten the connecting rod connecting the drain plug to the post you pull to close the drain. There isn't much space under the cabinets! Also pointed out a small leak in the pipes underneath, which he fixed as well. And he cleaned out all the build up in one of the drains so it drains promptly now. Toilet: Replaced the clogged valve in a jiffy along with the feed line and the tank hardware, and now, instead of taking 20 minutes to refill, it refills in a short time, stops when it's suppose to stop, and doesn't leak. Bathroom: Removed the towel rack, moved and leveled the shelf. And, he tightened the nut holding the toilet seat cover onto the toilet without even being asked, just because he noticed it. (We had lived with it after my attempts to tighten it hadn't worked.) Kitchen cabinet: Removed the drawer and pointed out that the wheel rails can spread at the back, from use. Closed the spread and now the drawer slides in and out perfectly. (I felt dumb for not having figured that out, but now I know.) Cleanliness: He had canvas drop cloths to catch any dirt or grime he generated as well as for protecting the floor. Had a trash bag for any trash generated (such as the faucet boxes) and used it as he went, rather than gathering the trash at the end. Honesty: Even though he ended up doing several extra things (valves and lines under kitchen sink, fixed a leak under bathroom sinks, toilet seat cover nut), I did not get the vibe that he was finding these just to do them and earn more money. The kitchen faucet issue agreed with what we had already observed, and the leak in the bathroom sink cabinet was real and (obviously!) needed fixing. And the seat cover nut, well, that was just a nice touch. All in all, I am very pleased with the results. Very pleased with his attitude and willingness to dig in to get the job done and working until it was. He explained the extra work needed as he found it, and didn't bother me unduly (I had my own work to do, as well, working remotely that day). And when I stepped over to see how it was going, he gave a precise update. He had all the tools needed (most of which I don't have, such as plumber's putty), and he had several spare parts in his truck so he wasn't constantly driving over to Home Depot. In short, he came prepared. Turned out to be 8 hours of work instead of the original estimate of 5 or less. Charged by the hour, and for the faucet and valve and bit of pipe installed (about $200 in parts). I like that flexibility, rather than charging a flat rate for a block of time (4 hours or 8 hours is what I've seen elsewhere on Angie's List site). The rate was competitive and I tipped him as well. The amount indicated in this review is for parts and labor only."

"Sometimes you find a contractor that is a professional but rarely can you call them a friend once the job is completed. Gary is that. He’s patient, listens and delivers on the project game plan. I hesitated to write this post because I don’t want him to get too busy lol but it’s best to share when you find a great contractor so others may benefit so here you go. Call Gary, but an allocate more than 10 minutes on the phone lol. And that’s a good thing. Pictures to follow."

"Aldridge Enterprises was hired to rebuild my 28-year old deck. They started earlier than originally expected, which was actually a good thing for me. The crew was friendly and expert at building decks. The craftsmanship was excellent. The price was reasonable even with a few small surprises that increased the price slightly."

Customers say: True professional

"There are not enough good words I could use to say how pleased I am with Andreas and his people. They worked very hard until they finished the project. Andreas had the lowest estimate and came in with the highest quality of work. I had my patio and deck power washed, resurfaced and painted. I would recommend them to everyone who wants a professional and through job done. I give them an A++"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

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.
