"Mike is awesome !!! Very reliable, take accountability and delivers on-time and with quality. We hired Mike after a friend of ours referred him to us. We had been struggling to find a responsible contractor to get our kitchen, bathroom, and basements remodeled but after meeting Mike and going over the process we knew he is the real deal. We initially did just Kitchen and bathrooms and we were extremely satisfied with quality, timeliness, cleanliness and on-budget delivery of a project. Mike was very reliable and vetted sub-contractors that he hires and all of them do a very good job. Mike kept us informed on progress - what will be done this week, following week, etc - that made it very easy for us to plan activities that we wanted to get done differently. We then hired Mike again after 6 months to get basement remodeled and are very delighted at how it turned out to be. We added a couple of rooms, entertainment area, bathroom, and small kitchen - work was done professionally, with quality and on promised schedule."

"These guys were great! I hired them to install a laminate floor & baseboards in my lower level & they completed it quickly & professionally! I then used them to install a vanity/sink & toilet. Although the my bathroom was not plumbed for this, they were knowledgeable enough to get it done! I will continue to use them for all my handyman needs. Just a couple of nice guys with great talent!"

"I had 4 custom-made window panels with condensation and fog. My intention was to only replace the glass (not the frame). I finally came across Apex when I saw their business truck parked in my neighborhood, Little Italy. Their sales rep gave me an in-person estimate within the week. His demeanor was very polite and mindful upon entering my property. Custom-made windows take time to manufacture so I had to wait roughly 2-3 weeks for the installation (tip: this timeframe is way quicker than what four other competitors were able to offer). When the installation team arrived, they, too, were very polite upon entering my home. They handled the removal of each glass with exceptional care. My home was built in the 70â s, and with some major home projects, there may be a hurdle. In my case, one part of my ceiling aged with time and sank about half an inch, preventing easy removal of the window pane. A jack was used for minimal roof elevation. In no time, the old window pane was ejected, leaving no damage. This is an example of their exemplary problem-solving skills. Upon installation of all windows, each was caulked, leaving no gaps. My window panels look exceptional and do a better job with insulation. The price was far reasonable compared to competitors. Their time in my home took about 3-4 hours. The installation team leader was extremely efficient, keeping me apprised of the process."

"Dealing with this company took the stress out of the entire process. Melody is outstanding, reliable, and I can't say enough about how professional they are. I had a bad taste in my mouth regarding fence repair companies after dealing with no call backs and communication.Then, I called Superior Fences and found out how real professionals conduct themselves....Bravo. Highly recommended!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

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. 

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet.
