"Impressed from beginning to end! This family owned 5star team handled a much needed repair to wooden fence and gate replacing warped boards and rusted hardware on gate, pressure washed and stained the deck and much needed repairs to rotting wood repaired and painted closed gaps in the wood at my French doors and painted like new! kudos for dealing with a difficult neighbor and did a service for free, leaving me speechless to the integrity and ethic! Over the moon with my deck and fence thanks you!"

"We had a lot of outdoor repair and fixing on our deck and area. Ham and his crew came out and did it so thorough cleanly and beautifully. We immediately hired him to do our windows caulking and painting. We had notice they were bad and we were thinking about doing it and Ham pointed them out as a future concern and gave us such a good price that we did it their and then. We are so happy with this experience!"

"Great pricing for a last minute weekend job. I'm disabled and going through a divorce and absolutely could NOT paint that room with all the other work I needed to do on the house. Jermaine did a great job and kept us right on our selling timeline."

"Honesty Construction more than exceeded their name of the company! My deck was in dire need of repair, all floor boards, stairs, seating and top rails needed to be replaced. They worked through many options with us and patiently arrived at the best option to meet our requirements. The final work was great and they have my referral-reference any time!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces.
