"Top Bros completely gutted and remodeled the two outdated bathrooms in our condo. The building is over 100 years old, so there were some challenges with plumbing, framing, and leveling, but Top Bros didn't shy away from any of them. They tackled each challenge head on and transformed our bathrooms, ensuring that everything was done correctly. They were friendly, easy to work with and the final products turned out amazing. I would highly recommend working with them."

"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."

"Working with Joe was a fantastic experience. He installed base molding and interior doors, tore apart and reconstructed my stairs and redid my two decks. His work is amazing and he was very timely with work. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for work to be done."

"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

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

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.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

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.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.
