"Handyman JC was on time and courteous. I needed some help with my AC, re-caulking my tub, and a special carpentry project (I needed a removable screen above my front door to keep birds out). Price was reasonable. I have more projects and plan to contact him again in the near future!"

"Vertex has completed more than one project for me but I especially want to mention the amazing job they did replacing the siding on my home. The whole process was smooth, communication was great and they kept everything clean from start to finish. I’m very happy with the results and would definitely recommend them!"

"My wife is Russian and Russians love saunas, so I ordered custom logs from the mountains and had Mr. Viss construct a sauna with them.  This required any number of skills and Mr. Viss had all of them. People have been calling this finest private sauna they have ever seen.  You can't go wrong with Mr. Viss."

"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!"

"As a first time home owner, I was afraid of having trouble with my project, having Cesar and his team work on my home was a very easy and successful project. My roof was replaced and backyard porch was built. Cesar walked me through the different options and we got started what fit me best. I 100% recommend ENC Construction to anyone looking for a honest and quality contract."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Professionals charge between $60 and $95 per hour to install ornamental porch columns. The amount of time they need varies based on the condition of the porch, whether they need to remove old columns, and if there is any damage to your porch's structure. This cost can increase if more issues come up during the installation process.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.
