"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."

"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."

"I hired JR Home and Business Solutions LLC for a bathroom remodel and update. From the start Joe was helpful with me and gave me tips on different tile types and all the options I could do with my space and budget. Communication remained consistent throughout the project and he worked with my schedule. My bathroom project included new tile, removing wallpaper, new vanity, and a new toilet. Joe's work ethic and attention to detail are second to none. I will definitely hire them again for my upcoming projects."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

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.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.

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.

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.
