"One of a Kind Carpenter was terrific. All the work was completed- even though we ran into some challenges, which they quickly resolved. I have an older house, and these were not anticipated with the job. I also added on to the project a few times, which they managed to do in a timely fashion, and the quality of work was impeccable. I would highly recommend him, and I will not use anyone else for my work now."
"I had my new refrigerator delivered and it would not fit under the cabinet. I contacted Angie and almost immediately, Mr. Falco, Bruce Falco Carpentry, Inc. contacted me. He did an excellent job in a timely manner with an affordable price. He was professional, knowledgeable and actually cared about doing the job right! I would highly recommend him!"
"After searching many different companies, I was very please with the review that I read on Angie's list. June was always very responsive to my many questions, and explained the options of what we could do with the piece. We didn't want to hide the beautiful wood work by painting it, so we decided to have it stripped and stained. Victor and Jerry were so kind, professional and careful with the piece. They even took a leaf that we had wanted the China cabinet to match, and they did it flawlessly! I would highly recommend this company, and we will definitely be using them again very soon. Thank you!! :-)"
"Very well! This was a trial 2 hour job to see how AFE performs. I used an Angie's list coupon. Angel from AFE contacted me quickly. We met a few days later based on our schedules. He showed up exactly on time. I had him replace a kitchen faucet and then he helped me to remove an old window and fan assembly from the 2nd story of the house. I enjoyed working with him, and was impressed with his level of experience and ability to discuss/do everything from plumbing, to carpentry, to electrical work. I am planning to give him more jobs."
"hired Chris to replace an damaged wooden fence. upon completion of job noticed several panels with large splits and the fence was not secure in one area.I was not satisfied He had attached the new fencing to the old damaged posts.I never asked him to cut corners he then added new posts next to the old ones and replaced the split panels.I wanted to pay when the job was done correctly.he wanted me to pay him before the job was corrected. wrote me numerous emails demanding payment .said he thought i was trying not to pay him...I did not hire him to do a ship shod job.. 30 years this was my first bad experience with someone i hired. got him from angis list. paid $2300.if you hire him make sure you are both on the same page.."
"Excellent service. Fencing on back order but we were kept updated on status. Once installation scheduled crew arrived on time and never even took break until job was done. Very professional and efficient. Have also used this company several other times for electrical and carpentry work with 5-star results."
"My master bathroom needed completely redesigned. There was a huge garden tub with a small shower and there were two very small closets. Errol used his creativity to redesign the space adding a walk in closet, removing the old shower and bath and building a completely new shower from scratch. Errol was extremely organized regarding his approach to the tasks to complete and making sure materials were available when required. His creativity, expertise in multiple areas, attention to detail and organization resulted in a beautiful new master bath. I highly recommend Errol."
Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.
When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project.
When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.
