"Kurt did a great job and was very efficient. He was able to repair all rot, and at a fraction of the cost of several other estimates. He repaired several window frames and replaced some of the baseboards. I was worried about having to replace siding, but only one small piece had to be replaced. Kurt is a great contractor and is very reliable and honest. We are planning to hire him to do more work on the back of our house."

"Brian was very methodical and thorough in the installation of the valances, drapes and rod. We communicated several times before he was scheduled to arrive so he would know the width and length of the windows, drapes and valances and know what hardware to bring for the installation, The job went very smoothly and I was very pleased with the final results. Brian was very personable and a delight to work with. Will definitely call/hire him again!"

"Gove Restoration recently completed a number of projects for us—painting the exterior of our 1920s-era house, replacing the garage roof, installing new gutters, carpentry to replace rotted trim, rotted shingles, and rotted shutters—and we couldn’t be happier. They were professional from start to finish, straightforward about issues as they arose, and conveyed a genuine appreciation for preserving the look of an older home. The work ethic of everyone, but especially the painters, was truly impressive, as was the attention to detail. We have received many compliments on their work from neighbors and passersby!"

"Agile Construction was very professional. They asked what needed to get done and then came in and executed it flawlessly. They were able to answer my questions and explained the work and their methodology. They came to repair my window sill. And it looks way better than before."

"They did an excellent job fixing multiple holes in the walls. They handled the job very professionally and with care. They covered the floor and furniture and spent extra time cleaning after the job was done. I highly recommend them."

"Fantastic Service! I can't say enough about this great company. Our house was a dull brown, the wood was rotting in many places and had carpenter ants, carpenter bees, and some of the slats were falling off. Now our home is a beautiful midnight blue with stunning white trim! I can't believe the transformation! These guys did a great job. Jeremy went above and beyond to find us a great deal on a front door and worked with our timing to complete the whole siding project. When they working on the south side of my house, they discovered that one of my windows was rotted out. Jeremy made several calls and was able to locate a replacement that day. Jeremy knew we were on a tight budget, so he worked us to find a solution to fit our home while still using a high-quality product. The workers were fast, efficient, and professional. I couldn't believe how they were willing to work in frigid temperatures to complete the project in a timely manner. We are extremely pleased with the results. Though the prices seemed higher at first than some of the bids we received, we recognized the true value of what we were getting. In the end, Jeremys prices were comparable to some of the quotes we got that were for a lower quality product."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

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.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

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.

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.
