"Chris was very professional and polite. He was the only contractor I got a quote from that listened carefully. I am on rented land. I wanted something to last but not cost an arm and leg. His communication was awsome. He never left me hanging for a minute. He was very clean all through the job. He was quiet as possible. So much so my neighbors were impressed. I highly recommend them. Thank you Restoration Solutions."
"Sean and the crew at iconiq construction did an amazing job on our new deck build. Would def recommend him to anyone looking for a good and honest contractor."
"As a whole, this company became part of our family. They cared about the well-being of my parents. They came in and cleaned up a mess that another contractor left. The mess was not minor by any means. My dad had Alzheimers and my my mom was recovering from a major car accident and also has cancer. My parents' home had a flooded and was left by the previous contractors destroyed and down to the studs. Cedarbrook came in and repaired what was broken, replaced what was destroyed, and put my parents' house back together in 5.5 months after a year of nothing being done by the other company. We will always now and forever use this company and refer them to anyone who is looking for a trusted, honest, and competent contractor. You won't be disappointed."
"Honestly, I have to say Max promised to be the best contractor ever. And he was, in our experience. The crew did great work and were meticulous. They had pride in their work. There was excellent communication. It was done in a week and site was left clean."
"Scott did an outstanding job on my back deck. He also installed new side and front porches on my house. He built two storage sheds by my garage. I would hire Scott anytime for a building project."
"We recently had the pleasure of working with Property Trio for custom built-in cabinets in our living room, office and bedroom, and we couldn't be happier! From start to finish, the experience was fantastic.
Property Trio listened carefully to our vision, even our crazy ideas and truly brought it to life. The cabinets are not only beautiful but also provide all the storage we needed, perfectly combining functionality with style. They transformed our spaces and exceeded our expectations!
The attention to detail and craftsmanship is evident in every inch of the work. If you're looking for a contractor who can turn your ideas into reality, I highly recommend Property Trio. We are thrilled with the results!"
"Leo and his team did a great job on our new deck. Very professional and accessible (always responded immediately to calls and emails). Used creative ideas and worked with my ideas also. Much appreciated. Would definitely hire them again for any future projects."
"I am a repeat customer, so I knew the carpenter, Joe, coming in. I started by using their design contractor. I gave her the colors and ideas (beach theme, ceramic wood-look floor tiles), and she pulled the rest together. Invaluable because I can't trust my own taste. They removed a square shower in the corner and a set of shelves next to it, and glassed in that end of the room for a full shower. We put tile down along the whole room, with a recessed shower pan, and a linear drain against the wall. Joe built-in medicine cabinets, and trim all around the room, per my design pictures. The subs included a glass door guy, the plumber, the tiler, painter, and the countertop slab tiler. We also had some work done in our hallway. They removed the single boob light from the middle, and installed two recessed lights on either end, along with putting two switch boxes on either end of the hallway. Joe built a floor to ceiling cabinet in a 13” dead space at the end of the hallway, which included a laundry hamper on tracks, cubbies, and shelves. And then on a whim, I asked to have our old hallway linen cupboard doors replaced to match the new ones. We had two leaks during and after, but one reason I would use them again, is how they handled both times. One was a leak from the plug on the toilet supply. We found it on a Saturday morning, and I ended up waking up our carpenter with my text. He came out and figured it out and fixed it by 1. The other one was after everything was done and cleaned up, and we had paid for everything. The basement bathroom ceiling, fan, and wall below the master was wet one day, and we realized a joint in the pipe from the master toilet to the stack was slowly dripping between the two rooms. I texted Joe again, and he referred me to our GC, who came out with a plumber and fixed it. They had to make a hole in the downstairs drywall, so he has been coming back regularly to put three layers of mud on the new drywall. I was so sure that they would regretfully find that it wasn't their fault and we would have to deal with the cost and bother of finding a plumber and carpenter. Start to finish, it took about four months, but three weeks of that was the initial tile order, and another three for an incorrect tile order."
"Tooba Construction Co did an amazing job on our fence installation. Fast, professional, and high-quality work. Everything was done cleanly and exactly how we wanted it. Highly recommend!"
Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.
It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.
Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.
Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.
New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.
