"Jeff completed our basement update- new walls, floors, ceiling, electrical, doors, stair surfacing, railing and barn doors to enclose our oil tank. Everything looks beautiful, and the project was completed in just over 2 weeks. Jeff and all of the other workers, including painters and electricians, worked professionally and were friendly and punctual. Any unanticipated changes to the schedule or quotes, of which there were few, were discussed promptly with us. We are thrilled with the outcome!"

"The first thing George did when he assessed my needs was to explain how I could save significant money. Whereas I thought I needed both a new main door and a new storm door, he explained how I could repair my main door cost-effectively. That tip saved me at least $500 - $750. I purchased the storm door on my own, and he then installed it. The door is in an awkward location on my house, which made for a very difficult removal of the old door and frame and equally challenging installation of the new door. He had to build out the frame a bit, and he also primed and painted the brick mold to account for the difference in the way the new door frame fit.
During the installation process, George discovered that the doorbell would no longer fit in its original location. It was very old, rusted, and cracked. It therefore didn't survive being removed. He went out and purchased a new one and installed it in a new location. It looks great.
When all was said and done, the new door looked as if it had always been there. There were no gaps, marks, or signs of a previous door. Also, George cleaned everything up and took away the old door and all of the packaging for the new one.
I would recommend hiring George for your home improvement project.

"We had a great experience with Arnold's Masonry. After interviewing several local masons, we chose Arnold to build a concrete sidewalk from our front steps to our driveway. We hired Arnold for his obvious knowledge, expertise, and experience. There was excellent communication and customer service throughout the process. We love our new sidewalk, and we highly recommend Arnold's Masonry!"

"The project involved partially disassembling a professional-grade office cubicle to reconfigure it. There was no instruction manual, only partial information I had gleaned from the Web and conveyed to the 2 guys. The work involved a lot of heavy lifting. We are so pleased with the results of their work. As a result, my wife and I now can consolidate our home offices into one area. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again."

"I hired CRS painting to install wainscoting and paint my bathroom. They provided me with a quote on a Saturday and finished the work by the following Friday. They are professional, conscientious and the quality of the work is superior. I would hire them again for my next job."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.
