"Walter and his son James were a formidable team: courteous, fastidious, and neat! I know how difficult it can be to find trustworthy contractors for any project in the home. We have worked a lot with contractors, in NY (3 Properties) Connecticut, and Florida Walter Montero provided us with our best contractor/builder experience. I endorse him enthusiastically and intend to work with him in the future for several projects. Anybody looking for a carpenter familiar with Trex decking would be well advised to reach out to Walter Best wishes to achieving a job well done!"

"Nixon and his crew did an outstanding job gutting and rebuilding a very challenging bathroom in our house, which was built in the 1930s. We are very happy with the craftsmanship and the price, and it was a pleasure to work with them on this project from start to finish. I highly recommend this excellent contractor."

"Igle (hope the spelling is correct) was very friendly, respectful and professional. He responded quickly to my request for a quote on replacing my front porch steps. He gave me a very reasonable cost estimate. Unfortunately, upon removal of the old steps insect damage to the framing structure was discovered. He was not deterred by this change in the scope of the project. My house was built in 1896 and nothing is standard about the construction, complicating the work. He managed to find a way to resolve all the problems and I am very happy with the result. We worked out a very reasonable adjustment to the original estimate to cover the extra materials and labor. I would highly recommend him. I intend to call on him in the future for other work."

"I wanted an estimate in advance, and I told Edie I was not ready to get my deck fixed yet. Despite that, he gave me a thoughtful and detailed analysis of what he could do with my deck and emailed me a formal estimate. He answered many questions about materials and what would be the best options. He contacted me very soon after I submitted my interest and came to my home at short notice. I was impressed by the photos of his work, his knowledge, and excellent attitude."

"We are so happy with the beautiful patio Arnold and his team built for us! Arnold was very professional and responsive from the first time we reached out to him for an initial quote through completion of the project. He was able to complete our patio ahead of schedule so that we could enjoy our new patio even earlier for the summer. He took great care of the job site and our property which we greatly appreciated. We highly recommend him and his business!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.

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.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.
