"Thanksgiving of 2019, I had a house fire and we hired Steve Walden as the contractor to do a complete renovation. At the beginning of the process, we should have immediately fired him. He was not truthful and his employees told us but we did not listen. Our floors are buckling, the temporary electrical pole is still in our yard, the top part of the electrical box is exposed, the french doors were not installed properly and they used different screws to mount the doors. One of our AC units stopped working. We called Mainline Heating and Air only to find out that they were stealing power from the unit to use for a plug they installed. Now the plug does not work. A part of my roof is leaking. The tub they installed is leaking at the bottom, Sheetwork work is horrible. So many issues from calk to paint. I am using all platforms so people can be cautious before hiring this company. They had trash in my yard and the employees act in the house and left food on the floor. I even had to complain because an employee used the bathroom and left stains on my new toilet. I wish I could upload pictures to show the final work. My complaints will not stop here, but I am using every platform so consumers can be aware of this company. His crew finally left my property around Sept 2020 and the work is still incomplete. Update 6-9-2021 ----Walden Home Improvements came back and corrected all the issues I was having!"

"He was very prompt with showing up at the house. He responded within one day with any questions about the bid. The crews were not sub contractors. It was the same people that came out every time."

Small jobs welcome

I have been working for my grandfather who builds custom homes and I have just started my own LLC and trying to get things going. I have my Alabama Home Builders License. I can do anything from small jobs like decks or replacing doors/ windows to big jobs like remodeling houses or building them from the ground up.

"I had several small projects to complete, including replacement/installation of a bathroom vent fan, replacement of a dryer vent hose and minor deck and fence repairs. Micah Douglas was responsive, knowledgeable and friendly. I am very happy with the quality of the work done and would hire him again."

"Jose and his crew were prompt and thorough and did a great job on a much shorter time frame than I expected. Unlike many contractors, they cleaned up after themselves and left everything better than they found it. The finish on my driveway is excellent And the workmanship outstanding. I would definitely recommend him for any concrete jobs you have"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces. 

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.
