"I had a piece of a futon that was broken completely in two pieces. Some of the splintered pieces were even missing. I went in expecting they would fabricate a similar piece for me, not even caring that it wouldn't look the same. I was shocked that the owner said he could fix the piece and that it would look the same and be strong. I was even MORE shocked when I picked it up and you couldn't even tell where it was previously broken. The futon was about $900 so paying $80 to fix this weight bearing piece was a great deal for me. 
Would definitely recommend their services to anyone.

"When Robert and Frank arrived we discussed what we needed done as well as asked about other jobs we were considering to see if they would be able to do them in the future. Fixing the handicap rail was a godsend as well as replacing the batteries in all 10 smoke alarms. We also had our laundry door rehung as it needed to be switched from opening in to opening out. They cleaned up after they completed all jobs even though we find them it was not necessary. It was truly appreciated. I encourage anyone that needs a handy man hire Robert you will not be disappointed. I know we are getting out to do list together and our supplies so Robert can help us again. He even preformed a magic trick which was fun. I have nothing but praise for Robert and look forward to working with him again in the near future."

"The trunk was in very bad condition. Eugenio restored the outside and the inside, including building a drawer/shelf that was missing. It took a month longer than originally promised, but the results were worth it. Eugenio was actually recommended to me by another furniture restoration company that was highly rated, but did not restore trunks. While it cost more than I'd like, I was happy with the results.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

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.
