"Lucas did an excellent job and we couldn’t be happier with the results. He was professional, punctual, and very knowledgeable. He explained everything clearly, worked efficiently, and paid attention to detail. The quality of his work was top-notch, and his pricing was fair and honest. It’s refreshing to find someone as reliable as Luke. I would definitely use him again and highly recommend him to anyone needing a skilled handyman."

"Jason is a hard worker and committed to getting the job done right and in a reasonable amount of time. For us he completed our entire staircase in 1 day. He took up the carpet and put down wood for the steps, sanded and caulked areas and more! This job was enough for 2 people but he did it all himself. It looks fantastic and ready for the final job which is painting. Thank you Jason! You are the BEST!!! Kind regards, The Kings"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.
