"Doug did an outstanding job on repairing my sagging gate. I was a week out from closing on my home and he fit me in his schedule to make sure it was repaired on time. Not only is he efficient but he was very communicative throughout the process. You can tell he genuinely enjoys his craft and is very appreciative of the business he receives. I will definitely look to hire him on any upcoming projects."

"Clayton was the handyman for our extensive rental portfolio for three years. He did everything: renovations, appliance repair, landscaping, etc. He is by far the best, most trustworthy contractor we have ever had. He has an organized mind and heart of gold. I cannot recommend him enough. It was a major loss to us when he left. Grab a hold of this guy while you can, because pretty soon he will be all booked up with other clients!"

"He did an awesome job. Took down the old deck and replaced all new boards on top. He only had to replace a couple underneath the deck. I would hire him again and would recommend him to anybody. He is reasonable with his pricing."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

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.
