"Bud was able to repair a cabinet door that would not stay closed and the hinges were shot. The local cabinet company that installed these custom cabinets was unwilling to help me in any way, and I am very appreciative of Bud's expertise. He was able to implement a creative fix that did not involve buying new hardware, and it looks and works great. He came promptly, was courteous, and the price was fair. He is very professional and very capable and I will definitely keep his contact information for future repairs or builds at our house, as well as recommend his many talents to others. Thank you, Bud!"

"I had a very pleasant experience with Rudy and his crew. They installed a fairly large wooden fence on my property, re-stained my 2000 square foot garage, installed some gutters and snow bars on my roof and did some deck repair. Everything was done with extreme care, attention to detail and professionalism. The quality was superb and Rudy was very communicative throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Vargas Home Improvement for anything you might need done in the way of remodeling and/or general home improvement."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.

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.

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.

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.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.
