"LP Services repainted the exterior of our house and did a good job. Price was competitive and the workers were friendly and efficient. They did some extra touch-up in a few places to make sure we were happy with the final product."

"Walking around my house this morning, I'm feeling so grateful that I found Rick to install my new wood flooring! It was a complex job, involving two levels of the house and the staircase that connects them. Rick meticulously removed each of the stair treads, re-sized them to convert from carpet to wood flooring, and replaced them beautifully. The most complicated part of the job was installing the flooring around a wooden railing which runs along the upper level "loft" and stairs, requiring MANY precise customized cuts and modifications of the flooring. He took his time and was very meticulous with this difficult part of the job, and it looks great. Rick was neat, punctual, and easy to reach. He was very knowledgeable and helped me make decisions about design and materials, and he was so pleasant to have in my home. I'm usually very reluctant to give anyone a key to my house, but after getting to know Rick I did so without worry. And I like the fact that he's a veteran. It's my pleasure to recommend Rick without hesitation!"

"Called Harris Roofing after the wind storm and was blown away with how quick they responded. Within 24 hours I had a repair done, a quote for a new roof and a contract sent to me. Fast forward 2 weeks later and he tore off and replaced my roof and only took about 1.5 days. Always kept me updated along the way and job site was always clean. Price was reasonable and didn't feel like I was being taken advantage of. Would recommend this roofing company to anyone for any roofing needs!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.

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.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

The cost to install a bow window can range from $1,500 to $15,000, with a national average of $3,900. The total price includes materials, which can cost between $1,200 and over $14,000, and labor, which typically adds $300 to $1,900. Several factors influence the final cost, including the window's size and frame material. For example, vinyl frames are the most budget-friendly option, while wood frames are more expensive. Custom features or energy-efficient upgrades will also increase the price. For comparison, a bay window installation typically costs between $1,000 and $7,000.
