"Our project was really big - a cedar fence w 2 double-wide metal-frame gates and a gate between two buildings over concrete - around 3/4 of an acre. Some days were hot and others rainy. John worked most days by himself but he worked hard! This is the 2nd project we’ve had Goodrow do for us and highly recommend them."

"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."

Customers say: Super punctual

"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.

"These guys at Topaz remodeling crushed it. from day one, they were on point- super chill but all about the details . Every little thing I asked for, they nailed it, and then some. They didn't just build, they leveled up my whole place with smart, creative touches I never would've thought of. My house went from basic to badass. If you want real quality and people who actually care, hit them up."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

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

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.
