"Wonderful! Look no more: You have found a triple licensed (general, electrical and plumbing) builder who keeps on budget, has great aesthetic taste, is creative and keeps to his schedule AND he sends in a professional cleaning crew at the end of the job! What contractor does THAT? We have already hired him for two more jobs, one at our 2nd home in Sedona and for a remodel of a condo our son just bought. In between our neighbors hired Vicente for a bathroom remodel at our recommendation. They have already told me they are thrilled with hiswork.

"We could not have asked for an easier time with Mr. Bill. Our outdoor spigot was broken - there was just a dribble of water coming out. We found this deal on Angie's List and Mr. Bill contacted us to schedule a day and time to come and look at our spigot. He just asked me to send him a picture via text so that he could be prepared to fix it before he even got there. He came on a day when I wasn't even home, and he was able to replace it for an extremely reasonable fee, and now it work wonderfully. I would absolutely hire this service provider again!"
"From the start, we were impressed with Regal’s commitment to understanding our needs. Doug, or sales consultant, was very knowledgeable and thorough. We looked at a total of 5 contractors. Regal’s pricing was very competitive. Once the work started, everyone involved was very professional. Quality of work was excellent. From Junior, to Francisco, Sal and the supervisor Jesus, were all great and responsive. At the end of each day, the areas were thoroughly cleaned. All in all, we are very happy with how the projects turned out. Would highly recommend Regal."
"Gary and his group were great from beginning to end. I began with an estimate to tile the common areas of the house, completely finish the hall bathroom, scrape off popcorn ceiling in the living room and retexture, install the hood vent over the stove, paint the entire interior of the home, and some other details. This was about half of what I really needed to finish inside, but that was all I wanted to commit to finishing at the time. I had previous contractors give me estimates, and they were horribly exaggerated. From the time those other contractors walked in, I could tell they were not interested in my job unless I was going to commit to them to do the entire house, and I was not ready to do that financially. Gary on the other hand understood and gave me an appropriate estimate for only the work I was asking for and said he'd be happy to give me an estimate for the rest when I was ready. He asked for a reasonable percentage down, outlined everything I needed in the project scope, which I approved, and his guys were able to start quickly. I began working some odd evening hours right around the same time the project started, and Arne and the rest of Gary's crew helping on the project were extremely respectful and did their best to work with my schedule and allow me to sleep. Gary and his crew communicated well, helped me with some of my decision-making, and did a fantastic job. Everyone that was involved in working with the house was very personable, friendly, and trustworthy. Because of the integrity I witnessed with Gary and his crew and the solid work I was seeing accomplished, I decided to have Gary give me an estimate for the other half of the inside work, which included popcorn ceiling removal and new closets in all three bedrooms, remodeling the master bathroom, and remodeling the large room at the back of the house including the bathroom and a new sliding patio door. Once again, Gary gave me a great estimate, and after some strong consideration, I chose to get that work done as well. I was going to have to stretch to make it work financially, but Gary, his team, and the work they were doing made it worth it. This was a perfect example of a business being able to win additional work through great customer service. The other contractors I received estimates from previously could have learned a thing or two from Gary's approach. The whole job did not go perfectly. My house is older, and the back room added on by the previous owner among other things had not been done very well. Gary and his crew handled all of the oddities like true pros, though. There was a surprise with some unexpected tiling under the carpet in the back room, which needed to be taken up that added some to the project budget, but that was very reasonable and was really the only time Gary had to add anything on to the project cost. He even helped fix some things that previous "handymen" had done that were not done very well. Many times I would never even had known there was an issue if not for the honesty of the crew because of how well they handled things. At one point while installing one of the ceiling fans, Arne, one of Gary's crew that worked at my house a good deal, had accidentally dropped and broken the glass globe. It happened while I was off running errands, and I would not even had known it happened had Arne not told me about it when I got back. I wouldn't have known because he had researched and found the fan I purchased at Lowe's, went to the store and picked up the replacement, and had it installed as if it had never even happened by the time I got back. He easily could have pretended the accident had never happened, but that transparency demonstrates Gary and his crew's honesty. Throughout the job and at the end, if there was anything that I spotted that I was not happy with or needed fixed, Gary and his guys were on it. The painter had missed a couple of things on the trim, and Gary quickly took care of it. The hot water regulator in the master bathroom shower needed to be adjusted to allow the water to get hotter after they were finished, and Gary sent his plumber over and adjusted it right away. I am very pleased with how everything went and how Gary and his crew handled everything. I have a good deal of work to do on the outside of the house once I get the finances built back up, and Gary will definitely be the person I call to get it done. Gary was straightforward, communicated well, gave solid estimates, and stood by the work. I would recommend Gary and his group to anyone. "

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.
When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors.
Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects.
Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.
While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.
