"A Tornado blew thru my street. All the fences were down and some entirely missing. I needed my fences and gates replaced. I chose Matt not only for the good price but his professionalism. He went beyond any contractor Iâ ve ever used. His work was absolutely Top Notch. He showed up on time and stayed late to beat the weather. He made a few suggestions that I never would have thought of. I canâ t say enough about Matt Bradford. My neighbors saw the work and wanted his information. Beyond the acre of fences and gates, he did another project for me building a deck and stairs to my upper garage level. It came out like a designer showcase. Iâ ll be posting it on google reviews. Very reasonable price. And his work puts all the others to shame. Heâ s a true craftsman. Everything he did for me was far far above my expectations. To say he did great work is an understatement. Heâ s absolutely the first person to call. You wonâ t be disappointed with Matt. 5 Stars PLUS! I have more projects that I will only use Matt for. Heâ s that good."

"Superior quality of work! Awesome crew! Dependable! Timely! Priced well! This is the third time we've used Casa Grande, and we've recommended them to our friends (who've also been very pleased). They're very professional and easy to work with. They're honest to a fault. Our first project was a major house renovation for my daughter, including shoring up unlevel floors on the 2nd floor, removing a load bearing wall, building a new staircase, reconstructing new floors that had rotted, and painting throughout the house. Our second project was building a new deck at our house. Our third project included installing tile floors in four rooms, installing a storm door, and painting throughout my mother's house. In all three projects, we were completely satisfied and very happy with the results. You simply will not find a better contractor and construction crew. They're the best!!"

"He came and estimated the repair. He started on Friday and had it repaired by Saturday afternoon. He demonstrated very professional quality in the repair. He recommended that I waited least a month before i stain and sealed the deck repairs."

"They did a good job. I was just hoping it would stop my wood floors from creaking but they are worse. Overall believe the work done will be good for the house support though"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, most services include necessary frame modifications for proper door fitting. Confirm with your provider.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

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. 

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.
