"They were outstanding in craftsmanship, timeliness, quality, safety, and inguinuity. Their ability to communicate and keep us advised was the best of any contractor that we have ever seen. Their pricing is good and better than most. The father and son work as a team. They always move with a purpose and worked thru some very cold and bad days when others pull back. We developed so much confidence in them thar we're moving forward on two additional projects as soon as they have an opening next month."
"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. The large walk-in shower with multiple shower heads is perfect for a luxurious bathing experience. The tiling is a work of art! There was clear communication with Jose at all times. 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!"
"It turned out fine. I would use this contractor again.This one in particular I was worried that my garage door was I don't know how to fix what seemed very squeaky and like maybe some bolts and I was worried that the spring might be about to break. Basically, the guy felt guilty because there's nothing wrong with it, it was just missing a size and bolt. But, he gave it a check up that it needed and the part that fault, he threw in and that was it. So, I will get an annual check-up with him and go from there. The guy is local. He is courteous. He was well-mannered, decently dressed. He made me feel very comfortable being alone in a single family home. I feel comfortable with people being preselected or verified through Angie's List."
"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."
"We had a home inspection that pointed out a lot of electrical issues that needed addressed asap. I call Jake’s company and he made our home a priority and was very professional. My contractor was so impressed with him that he even started using him. The work was done on time and was done very well. Plus, the price charged was very reasonable-which is hard to find for an electrician these days. Highly recommended."
"It went very well. This job took much longer than anticipated, a few unexpected problems were encountered along the way that slowed it down. The ordering of materials took longer than anticipated and at times we were waiting for those items to arrive. This was not the contractor's fault though. The biggest slow-down was the shower glass installation, which KDK was not responsible for. What was expected to take 2 weeks took 2 months for the shower installation, and Dave was constantly checking with us to see if the shower had been completed during the wait for the glass to arrive.
The biggest problem, as another person has mentioned, is that this is a very small work crew, a two man team and if one man is down for some reason things slow down significantly. The workmanship was superb, and no attention to detail is spared, very nice craftsmanship. Cost was kept to the contracted amount. We added in an item at the last minute and received a very fair cost for this additional work. Highly recommend!"
Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.
Professionals charge between $60 and $95 per hour to install ornamental porch columns. The amount of time they need varies based on the condition of the porch, whether they need to remove old columns, and if there is any damage to your porch's structure. This cost can increase if more issues come up during the installation process.
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.
Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.
Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.
