"Andrew did an excellent job building our deck. From start to finish he worked efficiently and with remarkable attention to every detail. He kept us informed of his process throughout the project and always made us aware of his schedule. Not only is his workmanship exemplary but he performs his craft with a friendly yet professional attitude. We feel very fortunate to have found such a talented craftsman."

"The BestcBathroom Remodel! From start to finish, Ron kept me informed of the process. His team finished the bathroom remodel in 2 1/2 weeks. This was a big demo with a complete renovation of tub, tile flooring and removal of a wall partition. Ron sent me a quote within 3 days of my request, and had a contract ready when I agreed with the quote. I wish I could submit photos of the before and after, you will be amazed. Check out his website, or ask him for pictures. The tile team was very professional, cleaned up their space every day and have the best work ethic I have ever seen. I highly recommend Ron and his team for any job big or small!"

"I can’t say enough on how happy I am with my new kitchen drawers. The house was built in 1960 and all the cabinets are made of solid wood accept the drawers. He built new drawers with the soft close. And also put the shelves for me to just pull out for my pots. They did great job and as for me I will give them a 5 star. Not to mention how professional he was. Looking now to get my kitchen cabinets painted. The price was better than anyone else I received estimates from."

"Bemis Restoration did a phenomenal job updating my kitchen. They painted the cabinets, replaced the handles and hinges. They also installed my new kitchen sink and faucet and repaired a leak I didnâ t know I had. In addition they installed my new stove hood and painted my laundry room cabinets and installed handles and hinges to match my kitchen. I was so pleased with Bemis Restorationâ s work, Iâ ve already referred family and friends to them."

"they said they were going to show up Monday at 9am, after a brief delay not due to them they were here shortly after. he looked at the door and said it wasn't a problem. he proceeded to the store at which he called and stated that he could just get the hinges instead of the whole door and hardware. of course I agreed resulting in saving money. once he returned the door was fixed in a short amount of time. very polite and professional. would definitely use Edgyver again if I have any more handyman projects. thank you to them for doing a great job."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.
