"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!"

"Bracewell CBC Painting, LLC did an astounding job painting the exterior of our house. His crew had great attention to detail from the carpentry repairs to the finish paint job. The crew was always on time and very friendly. The crew was able to transform a terrible paint job that was peeling off into a pristine outside that the neighbors are constantly praising while beating the prices of his competitors. As part of the prep the crew also pressure washed our driveway, walkways, and patios which really made the paint job pop once they were done. The crew kept the job site clean from start to finish and required no cleanup afterwards! The owner promised 100% satisfaction and I feel 120% satisfied. I would highly recommend."

"Outstanding! I could not be more pleased with the work done at my home. Joseph Pate is meticulous in his work ethic & craftsmanship. He does not make a mess & he does not leave a mess. Furthermore, he does not waste your money talking on his phone. He shows up on time every time. He is conscientious about his work and regularly checked in with me to make sure I was satisfied with the job as well. I will definitely be calling Joseph Pate again and I highly recommend for anyone needing home repairs, maintenance, landscaping, etc."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

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.
