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

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.

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.

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, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.
