"I had an outdoor playground set. Adrian was professional and hard-working. Great communication and he brought all the required tools and equipment. He showed up first thing in the morning on a short notice and it was all done before the end of the day. The assembly looks great and I know the kids will love it!"

Customers say: Quick response

"There are truly not enough words to describe how grateful we are for Rosalin and the incredible work he created for our home. From the very beginning, he poured his whole heart into building our floating staircase, and it shows in every detail. The moment we finalized our contract, demolition began almost immediately, and he worked day and night to bring our vision to life. Our staircase has become the heart of our home and the first thing everyone compliments when they walk in. The ambient lighting and organic luxury design completely transformed our space and created such a warm, earthy atmosphere in our forever home. Beyond his craftsmanship, Rosalin’s positive attitude, humility, professionalism, and genuine care for his clients made this experience unforgettable. He took so much pride in his work, and we will always be grateful for the beautiful centerpiece he created for our family. We truly could not recommend him more!"

"Heath Stairworks did a great job on our stairway. They added a beautiful hand rail and iron spindles. They listened to what we had in mind, made suggestions, and it turned out exactly how we wanted it. I would definitely use them again."

A couple of small snags were discussed and solved without problems. Quality of work is excellent and we are very happy with the outcome.This was a 1,000 sq.ft. deck rebuild. We highly recommend Tom, with special shoutouts to David and Clara. Weâ ll be seeing them again to install the pergola!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

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. 

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.
