"I hired Brett with BATCO to build two separate decks for my Airbnb properties. He arrived on time, and even though he bid me a certain number, the second deck took less time than expected and I ended up paying less than I was quoted. Brett did an outstanding job and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the outcome given the decks are exposed to heavy weather conditions like rain and snow. You can tell Brett is a professional and knows what he’s doing. It’s always comforting knowing you have a contractor who’s legit, licensed+insured. Couldn’t recommend BATCO more."

Customers say: Terrific value

"Trustworthy. Reliable. Professional. Great Communication. Beautiful Transformation. Integrity. Honest. Very Reasonably Priced. Daniel Anderson of Anderson's Finish Carpentry is a highly skilled professional. He is a man of his word. He arrives early and finished the job on time. He left the worksite immaculately clean every evening. He is an excellent communicator; he kept me informed about the progress daily. He charged a very reasonable price and did even more than he was paid for, extra details make such a difference. He went above and beyond! He does the work himself and when he has an assistant, he supervised carefully. His name is on the work and he sees to it that every aspect of the job is done correctly and to my satisfaction. Daniel transformed our old dangerous disaster of a deck into a new beautiful place we can safely enjoy with our friends. From now on Daniel Anderson is our "go to guy" for all our woodworking projects and you should make him your guy too!"

"Sean Ireland was our designer/main contact and I can't say enough great things about him - he is not only friendly and very prompt in his communication but an A+ when is comes to design skills and creativity!  We had a few awkwardly placed outlets and he found very creative workarounds to get us beautiful looking pieces that were incredibly functional too.   And I'll be the first to admit that I was not the easiest to work with - I changed my mind several times and went back on forth on many details - Sean never got frustrated with me and I'm SO happy with the end product!  The pieces look beautiful and are very great quality as well.  Overall, we are VERY happy with the outcome!

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.
