"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."

"Rich did a welding job for me on a metal chair. He was easy to talk to at the beginning and end of the job. While he had my chair, there was a delay in getting it done due to him not having the right tool with him. Once I told him that I was disappointed by the delay, he said that he misunderstood the time frame and then worked to make it right. So just make sure to be clear on the time expectation and you should be fine. Good handiwork!"

"Josh of Shepherd’s Hammer did an amazing job for our home. He installed a fire wall and fire door in our garage, as well built a new back deck. Both jobs were great. He was always on time, completed the job as planned, on budget, and kept us updated on the projects as they were in progress. Exceptionally pleased with the work. Already planning other projects around the house. Highly recommend."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.

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.
