"The workers were flexible as the design changed as the construction progressed and the work was completed on schedule to our expectations. We would recommend Patsy for your building project ( large or small) now that he is back from a serious leg injury and can better control the quality and sub-contractors. You may call us for additional details regarding our positive recommendation on this contractor, Patsy Cicala."

"We couldn?t be happier with the work done by Ed Evans Contracting. They did an excellent job of refreshing our house exterior by repairing and re-staining/painting our front porch decking, columns, and railings, painting the shutters, windows, and front door, and sealing the driveway. They checked all the boxes a homeowner could hope for but rarely finds - their work is thorough and high-quality, they were quick, provided excellent communication and customer service, reasonable prices, and were a pleasure to interact with. Various neighbors have also had work done by Ed Evans Contracting and had the same experience. We will certainly be repeat customers."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.

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.

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. 

The cost to frame a 2,000-square-foot house can fall anywhere between $14,000 and $32,000. This price can increase or decrease depending on what type of framing you choose, the quality of the materials, the project's complexity, and whether you decide to hire a professional to do the job.
