"Jack and his crew did a fantastic job on our house. I don't typically write reviews such as this,
but the level of service and passion for quality of work has motivated me to
write about my experience.
The end product was well above expectations, but here are some extra highlights to demonstrate how
great it was to work with Jack and his team:
1. We had originally requested a new tile surround for our shower and tub. When Jack's team removed the old
tile he found that the people who remodeled our house had framed in empty space at the end of our tub in order to fit a cheaper, standard sized tub. Jack advised us that, if we wanted, he could re-frame the wall to utilize the extra space and we could fit a larger, higher quality tub in our bathroom.
I loved that Jack collaborated with us on this change instead of just executing the originally planned job to the T. This was a great bonus for us and now we have a fantastic new, bigger bath tub thanks to Jack going out of his way to present this option to us.
2. Our kitchen originally had tile that connected to hardwood floors on both kitchen exits, and did not have any transitions (there was just grout in between), which was ugly. Jack created custom transitions for us and was adamant about getting them
to match our 1940s wood floors. Jack was not satisfied until it was perfect, and went through at least 10 different iterations of various wood grains and stains until he got them to match just right. I was really impressed by his attention to detail, and the transitions now look like they were created with the original house.
3. The new vanity we had delivered turned out to have a small crack in the marble counter top that went un-noticed until after it was installed (the crack was the fault of the company we purchased from). Jack returned to our house over a month later to remove the faulty vanity and replace it with a new one, no questions asked.
I would (and plan to) hire Jack and his team back for other jobs, and you should too.

"They have now done two separate jobs on different occasions. Jobs consisted of preparing a floor for carpeting after a animal had ruined the previous carpet and wood. Also fixed my front door which was a little crooked so it stuck. I then called them back for drywall work after I had redid my plumbing. Excellent, professional work for both jobs. Well priced. Went above and beyond. Was also very nice and great to talk to. All around great work that I recommend. And I know we will have other projects for this company."

"Ray called immediately, arrived when he said he would, communicated very clearly about the project and what it would take to fix it. Most importantly did excellent work. A true “old school” craftsman who takes pride in his work. Wish there were more like him these days."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.
