"GS Painting is by far the ABSOLUTE BEST contractor I have ever hired in all my 50 years of home ownership! The company owner, Garry, not only demonstrated the highest standards of punctuality, knowledge, and skill, but he also exhibited a strong commitment to excellence in his meticulous attention to detail and his sheer talent in both carpentry and painting. He was extremely pleasant to work with, and he kept me informed about the work and his progress throughout every phase of the project. At 80 years of age I especially appreciated his respect for my precautions about the Covid pandemic, patiently honoring my request for communication through emails and texts in order to avoid face-to-face contact (when that would have obviously been an easier path for him to take). He went far beyond what most workers might have done in facing a 25-year-old home with multiple examples of untended wear-and-tear, each of which he diligently studied, identified the root cause, formulated a workable plan for correcting it, and accomplished a finished product that totally returned my home to its true market value. I simply cannot say enough positive comments about Garry’s workmanship to capture how pleased I am with the final result of his work. By all means I would not only hire him again but I would deliberately seek him out to do any job needed — my trust level in his skill is that great. Garry is a true craftsman who takes tremendous pride in his work. I am grateful to Angie’s List for connecting me with this dedicated and talented contractor. He is a definite asset to your service!"

"Services done were most professional. The work was very organized. Attention was given to details and safety codes. The cost estimates made were very specific and easy to understand. As each area of carpentry was being done Alan Oxendine involved my spouse and I in each decision. We have asked Alan Oxendine to return and do our next project. Exceptional worker!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.
