"We have normally done interior painting ourselves, but this was a big job (living room, hallway, bedroom) and since we also had some ceiling damage from a leak we decided to get it done for us. We had used Jim the Handyman for a couple jobs last year and were very satisfied with the work so called them again. They showed up early to do the estimate and we discussed a number of items to be priced so that could pick and choose if need be. We quickly got an estimate and agreed to getting the work done. It was supposed to be a week to a week and a half out from the Thursday estimate date but they called the next Sunday afternoon and said they could begin the job Tuesday (finishing Thursday). We said yes. Mike showed up within the 9-11 timeframe on Tuesday and got right to work.. He was the lead guy for the three days, directing others who came to help. Very impressive. Not only does he know everything about how to paint, he knows how to manage a job. And he is a pleasant and friendly guy on top of that. The crew prepped, painted, and cleaned up. They made sure the job was done right (no need to follow behind and check on their work - they do their own quality control). We supplied the paint and spent a day getting things off the wall and some things moved. We have a lot on our walls and so I spackled as things came down. We could have left it, especially the wall repair. Mike could immediately tell what had been done and went back and did it correctly. We probably would still take things off the wall to prep, but the rest we would leave to their crew. The areas of the ceiling that were damaged are back to looking perfect. We had some paint bubbles in one bathroom ceiling - also corrected - and with a better paint choice that Mike recommended. The new door and door frame were more of a challenge for the guy who came to do the work because the one jamb was a little out of plumb (our house was built in 1961), but he got it done. We are very pleased with the experience, the quality of the work, and extremely pleased with the finished result. Its like having a new home."

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."

"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."

"This is the second big project we've done with REO Service Pro. They finished our basement a few years ago. Both projects were done with quality and professionalism. Gary is very easy to work with. He listens and offers suggestions when needed or appropriate. I also used an interior designer with whom he worked with ease. We had an aggressive time frame for this project and it was met. Our two favorite things about working with Gary and his crew are 1) their quickness in responsiveness and 2) quality control. On multiple occasions I witnessed Gary instructing a crew member to "rip it out and start all over". In our experience with house projects, that is a rarity. Most contractors are okay with mediocre work to save time and effort. As a result, the end product was great. In terms of cost, they may not be your cheapest bid but they won't be your most expensive either. The investment is worth it. I highly recommend REO Service Pro."

"Jose and his team remodeled our master bathroom. They removed the existing tile, tub, and shower and installed a walk in shower, They needed to move the plumbing for the shower and vanity, install a new tile floor, build the shower, install tile for the shower floors, walls, and two niches. They also, repaired all the walls and painted the entire room. Their craftsmanship on the tile work, drywall work, and painting is the best that I have seen. They did an incredible job. They were very professional. They arrived on time every day. Jose is an excellent communicator and took the time to explain any options throughout the project. They put protective material down on all the floors leading to the bathroom and setup a plastic barrier each day to contain the dust. At the end of every day, they cleaned up their work area so that the construction materials and tools were limited to the bathroom itself. We had compete access to the rest of the master bedroom. Very highly recommended and I would not hesitate to contract with Munoz Construction again."

"We contracted Simmons Handyman Services to perform some much needed work at a rental townhouse and was impressed from the start. From replacing bathroom vanities, flooring, plumbing, electrical repairs to building a new front cement stairs, Simmons Handyman Services can handle everything. Mr. Simmons was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and competent. He was very accommodating and always available to answer questions. We are very satisfied with the quality of work, but mainly his work ethic, which is rare these days. We are glad to have finally found a contractor to handle all of our future needs and will not hesitate to use his services again."

"My husband and I started to put in a fenced in garbage can patio, and made a mess of it. Andreas quoted me a good price, did the job right, was willing to use materials I already had on hand, did the job within the time frame we discussed, and didn't try to upsell me. I would definitely use them again."

"Matt yusufhanoglu and his company Living colors did a phenomenal job in restoring my 1958 ranch house into a gem. The house was empty and in terrible condition on the inside. With the help of his architect Matt was able to present me with multiple choices based on the open floor plan that I wanted in the main living area. This included tearing down an attached room and building a beautiful sunlit addition that extended the kitchen area and added a sun room. Matt and his site lead Carlos also creatively found space to add a full second bathroom to make the house an efficient 3 bedroom, 2 bath house. I can’t say enough about the quality of the work and the amazing interior design selections such as cabinets, windows, flooring and associated hardware that made this house my dream come true."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

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.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.
