Customers say: Terrific value

"Mike's quote was competitive with other quotes I got but Mike uses screws instead of nails which I believe is the best way to build a wood fence. He communicated well with regard to schedule and progress. His guys were courteous and professional. Like in most projects, changes have to be made to the original plans and Mike was fair and accommodating. Finally, Mike inspects the work that his guys do and holds them to a high standard of quality. I would definitely recommend him because of the job he did on my project."

"This company was reasonable and knows there vinyl siding products. The owner has 47 years of experience, knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. I had to replace the back of house vinyl and use the old to repair the side that was damaged by my dog. The siding they gave me was better than what I had. The company answered the phone and keep me updated and sent pictures of finished job. I was very happy with the price. Please get an estimate from them you will be very, very happy."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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.

A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry.
