"I'm very happy with the work done by DC Framing. The old decking was replaced with new Trex type material that looks great. Balthazar adapted my old lattice work to fit my new design. He was a "can do" person. The project was delayed because of rain but completed in a reasonable amount of time."

"Michael did a great job of removing an old garage door and installing a new door and frame and a new security door on our house. See attached picture. He took extra care and workmanship to make sure doors fit properly and securely in the opening. He also is very tidy and very friendly. Would recommend him 100% to others and use him in the future!"

"Russ was amazing to work with. Very professional and easy to get ahold of when we had questions. He came out multiple times to ensure that we had the proper stain to match the floors. He worked on our time frame as we had contractors we were working around. I would recommend him to anyone looking to refinish a staircase."

"This was a great company to work with. Manuel is very knowledgeable in many aspects of the construction trade. We recently moved into a new home and had several questions and needs regarding the new home. He is a very pleasant and patient person to deal with and he pointed out several things for us to consider."

"John did an amazing job. He came in the day we called him to measure and recommend crown molding for our old home. A day and a half later, our house was transformed and looked 10 years younger! He also went above and beyond to cover challenging corners and built in book shelves. If you need crown molding help, Crowning Touch is the best in Sacramento!"

Customers say: Super punctual

"We hired Handy Home Solutions to install a dishwasher. We didn't have a dishwasher previously, and needed the current cabinets cut out to make space for the dishwasher, and install the plumbing needed. Unfortunately, our home is very old and there were some electrical issues Phil had to deal with. However, he still completed the job in one day to fit our timeline as we were leaving for a few days the very next day after the work was scheduled. It appeared that he took great care of the dishwasher while putting it in to not damage anything. The finished result looks amazing. I've already referred him to others who may need his services. I will definitely reach out to him again should I need anything else done."

"We absolutely love the new deck that Paul built - his craftsmanship, professionalism, knowledge, dependability, communication, and price is second to none. As a bonus he's just a super nice, genuine guy who we now consider a friend."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

The cost to install a bow window can range from $1,500 to $15,000, with a national average of $3,900. The total price includes materials, which can cost between $1,200 and over $14,000, and labor, which typically adds $300 to $1,900. Several factors influence the final cost, including the window's size and frame material. For example, vinyl frames are the most budget-friendly option, while wood frames are more expensive. Custom features or energy-efficient upgrades will also increase the price. For comparison, a bay window installation typically costs between $1,000 and $7,000.

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

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.
