"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."

"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."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.

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.

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.
