"Davis contracting did a remarkable job repairing rotted exterior wood, painting all trim, replacing an old set of wooden steps to my back door and power washing and sealing my aging fence. Everything looks great. The construction team was skilled and diligent in their work and left the grounds completely cleaned up after each work day. I highly recommend Davis Contracting."

"First and foremost you can not go into a project such as this without having a collaborative relationship with the Contractor. 
My husband and I are 60+ and with all the work we did to get the house ready for this project we learned a lot,  Our primary role was to  get all materials needed by Justin and his crew to get the job done.
We brought the bamboo flooring, moulding, bathroom materials (vanity/mirror, tub, tile, grout, tank/commode, shower door), handrail/stairs, lights for top/bottom of the stairs and Justin got the paint, nails for the flooring, plaster and drywall.  Justin picked up materials from Home Depot as needed and went with me to get some of the materials to be sure it was correct. 
Justin created the work plan, we provided the key products. Justin has a crew that worked long hours to get the prep work done for the painting.  Taking down the popcorn ceiling made enough dust to have created its own dust storm. What a mess...LOL! 
The painter came one Saturday for painting.
The young man (Ariel) doing the flooring worked from 8am to 7pm on specific days.  This young man did an amazing job with the floors both hardwood and tile. What a work ethic he has!
Justin was always onsite each morning at 7am to make sure the crew had their assignments to complete the project and at the end of each work day progress was obvious.  No day passed without seeing visible progress.  They always cleaned up after themselves and took stuff to the dump to keep the site clear.
Since both my husband and I were out of the house during the day we had to leave the crew.  The trust with Justin and his crew created a situation that was both successful and non-intimidating.  Frustrations existed but were managed.  If issues come up they were addressed immediately; Justin made it easy to work this project.
One lesson we learned is to ask more questions and to be more specific.  Certain tasks were discussed but not written down; lesson learned.  Gotta keep a to do list!!  This is a collaborate effort so it not fair to expect the Contactor to know what you are thinking.  Remember its your home!
We had an issue with the tank/commode and did not clearly understand the problem; took several days to get a water leak corrected.  Justin's plumber was onsite twice, a visit to Home Depot and a second opinion finally resolved the issue.
Justin creates a work process that creates results.  The attention to the bigger picture allowed the project to get done.  Some days the vision was not so clear to us but the end product was a success."

"I had my hardwood refinished in a townhouse. They were extremely patient with me in trying to select a color to match other wooden accents in my home. Everyone loves my flooring now. The only reason I gave them a 4.5 instead of a 5, I wish they would have filled in all of the gaps with wood putty before staining."

"Great! We knew there was some rotted wood, but found more as the project progressed, and although we thought we wanted the downspout painted white, once we saw it we realized it should have been painted to match the brick. The additional cost to replace the rotted wood (with pvc) was fair and the painters didn't grumble when I asked them to repaint the downspout - which required a 60 foot ladder! The painters checked all the window to make sure they would open and replaced the screens. The project took 3 weeks to complete and would have been finished sooner except for a few rain days. The clean up was good. I would definitely use Mr. Mendez again and recommend him without reservation."

"They did great work painting our extensive exterior wood trim, repairing a section of our fascia, and installing an outdoor light. The technicians and the JW main office were both a pleasure to work with. The great thing about these guys is that if they discover a problem, they can almost always fix it themselves, since they have all the relevant skills. We have hired them often in the past and will not hesitate to do so again."

"We highly recommend Quality Construction Projects: Mr. Angarita is extremely professional with knowledge of every aspect of a project. He hires extremely knowledgeable and trustworthy pros. We felt comfortable to leave them alone from the start and they were all polite and respectful of us. As the project progressed and we asked for changes, they worked with us and not one time did they show impatience. In our view, this is one of the best companies you can choose! Thank you, Mr. Angarita!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Floor joists provide support and stability to the flooring installed above them, whether it be hardwood, tile, or carpet. They’re essentially horizontal beams that hold up the subfloor and everything that lies on top of it. Floor joists also help evenly distribute weight across their structure so that it’s shared between walls, beams, and your foundation.

There are several mistakes you should avoid when using butcher block countertops. Don't place hot pots or pans directly on the surface, as this can crack the wood and cause permanent damage. Avoid leaving wet items sitting on the surface, and wipe up liquids as soon as possible to avoid stains.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

General contractors use subcontractors to complete specific parts of a construction project. For example, a general contractor might have construction experience but need a subcontractor to install plumbing lines in a new home.

If you don’t have a coping saw, you can use an angle grinder to cope crown molding, but it takes a little more precision. Place your molding down on your workbench, angle the grinder at a 45-degree angle toward the molding, and back cut the wood. You’ll need to carefully angle your grinder to accommodate the curves in the wood, and aim to remove around 1 inch from the profile of the molding.
