"Jordan and his brother did a great job fixing a water leak at the base of my shower. He contacted me immediately after I started the project at Angi. The next day they arrived at my house promptly and got started right away. Jordan diagnosed the issue quickly after opening a small section of dry wall near the leak. The fix was to re-grout the tiles at the base of the shower and clean up the wet area. I am very happy with the results. And the cost was reasonable. I would certainly contact Jordan again for any future projects."

"Are, project manager for Finecraft, promised a 6 day finish time but took over 2 ½ weeks. Our oak floor was damaged when masking tape holding paper walkway was removed taking Swedish finish with it. We have stripes from front door to back door and have to have the entire floor screened and recoated costing us $2,000. Workers never communicated with us about problems that arose. They appear not to have been given appropriate equipment to cut the large porcelain tiles. They made repeated measuring/cutting errors so took several days to cut the 15 tile sections needed. The cut edges are ragged and in some cases, have chipped corners and were set unevenly. No one communicated that they were going to use an edge trim product other than porcelain for the edges nor that we could choose the color of that product. Someone just chose white rather than match the tile and it looks terrible around the edge of the shower and pony wall and particularly framing the shampoo niche. The shower floor tile was not cleaned of the excess grout and is dulled and coarse. The pieced-in floor tile between the toilet and new pony wall was done poorly with uneven spacing and will require removal and resetting to be remedied. We were very unhappy with the result and with the attitude taken by Ari the project manager minimizing the damage to the oak floor and the quality of the work. He lamented that the extra cost of plumbing work had reduced Finecraft s profit on the job even though his big sales pitch was that no change order costs would be charged if unexpected conditions were encountered. He overpromised on this project, did not provide the skilled workmen necessary and did not communicate sufficiently with us or with his workers as the job proceeded. In summary: this company did not do a quality job, failed to discuss options and problems as they arose, damaged an unrelated part of our house and was incapable of fixing its errors. We settled for $1000 off a total of $16000. That was not adequate compensation but we did not want this company working in our house any more."

As of April 2025, my wife and I decided to take the next step and become a licensed, bonded, and insured general contractor as I transition out of the military via retirement. Prior to that, my wife and I have over 12 years of experience together doing fix and flips, fix and holds, working on our own properties, completing projects for family and friends, along with taking on side jobs. We are fully capable of any remodel, aided by our 4 employees and growing, plus our solid sub-contractors that we have used over the years after going through a few unreliable ones, so you don't have to! When working with Apex Home Solutions, you can count on consistent and clear communication, being a part of any decision point that arises, and have the peace of mind that timelines and budgets are managed responsibly. All of our employees go through an extensive background check. Reach out for your free estimate, you won't be disappointed with our finishes.

"I hired Apex Home Solutions to do a complete remodel of a bathroom in a duplex that I own. In addition to the bathroom, I had a soundproof wall installed between the two units, new flooring throughout and complete interior paint. Zach and his team did a fantastic job. They had to tear the bathroom down to the studs, due to rot; and rebuild the structure. The bathroom turned out beautiful. The old flooring was in bad shape which required removal, the floor leveled, and new flooring installed. It is now better than ever. Throughout the process which took about a month, Zach was just a text away. He would call with updates to let me know how things were coming along. He returned all communications within a few minutes. It could not have been an easier, smoother or a more enjoyable process. Best of all the unit looks fantastic and was rented immediately. Zach and his team were complete professionals that can be trusted to go above and beyond!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.
