"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."

"Tolbert and Sons were very courteous, professional and punctual. I can't tell you how important it is to have at least two of these qualities today. I'm a very picky person and sometimes you have to have the patience of Job to deal with me. Trust me, they have patience! Much to my satisfaction, I was very pleased with the outcome. My bedroom walls look like a million bucks without being taken to the bank! I have a tray ceiling, which was painted white and the cut between the color of the walls and the ceiling was so precise it was ridiculous. No taping or small brush, a 3 inch BRUSH! I know. They did such a good job now I can't stand the other two bedrooms. Well... I guess I'll have to hire them again; and I will in a heartbeat. HIRE THEM. You won't be disappointed."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

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. 

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.
