"I recently had the pleasure of hiring PurePower Wash and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. From the moment I contacted them for a quote, the customer service was top notch. They were friendly, professional and responsive, answering all my questions. On the scheduled day, the technicians arrived on time, equipped with the latest state of the art power wash equipment. Throughout the process, I was impressed with their attention to detail and their commitment to delivering the best results. I also appreciated the safety measures. They made sure all windows, outdoor furniture and plants were protected during the power wash. Not only did they do an outstanding job, they also finished within the estimated time, which was impressive given the size of the job. I highly recommend PurePower Wash for anyone in need of reliable and high quality power wash services. They exceeded my expectations and I will definitely be using their services in the future. Five stars all the way!"

Small jobs welcome

I am a local handyman and yard/house clean-up specialist. Things like trim work, flooring, and rough carpentry are my go-to as long with landscaping services such as material moving and off-hauling.

"Oh MY GOODNESS, this company and Ishmel and his team are AMAZING. They worked so hard for us and did anything we asked and worked until 5:30 a.m. because we did a move that was over 5 hours away, so they moved us out of one house, then drove 5 hours, then they moved us into another house, then they drove another 5 hours, this was a SUPER long day, almost 16 hours, WOW I have never seen 3 people work so hard and I would HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Pro Movers.....they are BEYOND PRO movers they are GO MOVERS, they just go for it and then do an incredible job. I dont even know if they ate during that whole time. We are SUPER SUPER SUPER appreciative of this amazing crew. Thank you PRO MOVERS, all I can say is you went ABOVE and BEYOND for us!!!

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.
