"Amazing! 5 stars are not enough! Matt was not only skilled but he was also efficient, neat, reliable, courteous and exhibits a work ethic that is very rare these days. He is also reasonably priced and very personable. I will most definitely hire him again and recommend him to everyone I know. A great find! Thank you, Angi"

"This was a huge job for Bryson and his team. The painting is flawless. Really quite amazing. I'm still stunned. His painters were all very professional. They left the house clean every night and returned on time every day. I have used other painters before some good and some not so good, but this time with such a large job I never thought it could look so perfect. But I was wrong. I am very happy. Highly recommend."

"I'm a real estate agent, and he is always very well priced. Quality is good, he has a comprehensive scope of work that he completes in his bids. Always responds, and is punctual. I can't think of any issues I've come across, that would need to be critiqued. He is able to inspect as well as complete and advise on repairs needed. I would recommend them to anyone."

"Really impressed with my new back yard. I was very hesitant as I got so many bids at first, but really what got me is the way they approached that. From A to Z everything done professionally, with a 3D design, demo, and building the new concrete and pool. I love how everything came out and will be happy to use their service in the future."

"It was an amazing experience. I dont think there is a better company I could have picked for this job. The contractor was really professional and made me feel comfortable the entire time. They also made me feel part of the project which was awesome they let me get involved as much as I wanted which made this whole thing even better and more enjoyable. They also didnt get frustrated with me at all which i know can be hard at times because I know I can be difficult when it comes to having things how i want them. Thank you for a wonderful service !!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

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.
