Customers say: Quality work

"We were very impressed by the knowledge and expertise of the owner, Rick Lacey. After our first meeting, we were satisfied that he would build a quality deck for a reasonable price. The entire team was professional at every level of my contact with them. From the initial planning, to periodic updates, to the final follow up. I could not have asked for a better experience. The products they use are some of the best in class, and though not cheap, I got exactly what I hoped and paid for - A beautiful, well constructed deck. Will definitely be calling on them for any future needs in this area. My standards are very high and Lacey Carpentry met or exceeded all of them."

"I just moved a week ago and the movers I hired damaged my bed frame significantly. I found Tony through Angi. He showed up on time and fixed my bed frame in under an hour. Exceptional work....very professional and friendly. I would definitely use his services again and would recommend him to friends or strangers."

"We hired Handymack for painting our outside but also for several other projects. They painted the exterior of our home, did carpentry work to update the look and give it curb appeal, Put in our kitchen floor, painted the kitchen and put up the tile back splash. Mack and staff can do anything you ask and it will turn out better than you imagined in your head. HandyMack delivers on their promises. The crew came every day on time and stayed for 8 or 9 hours. They are extremely hard working and reliable. They also are very competitive with their pricing and fair. I would highly recommend to anyone needing renovations, painting, construction on their homes. I am thrilled we found someone we can rely on. HandyMack and his crew are top notch. We will be using them again for further projects."

"My husband and I wanted to do some much needed home improvements. I visited Angi.com and typed in my construction needs: we wanted to replace our rotting upper deck. I interviewed 3 different companies and selected on A.D.A. Construction and Erin Lopez for my team. From the moment the project started, his construction crew never stopped moving. Erin really listened to what I needed to have done. He was professional and courteous. They showed up on time and worked hard in this Georgia heat. While they were here, I asked for a quote on a second project. He gave me a quote on the spot, which was in my budget. Erin was able to work both projects simultaneously. I now have a beautiful front porch and a beautiful upper deck all thanks to A.D.A Construction, Erin Lopez and Samuel. I would give them a 10 if that were an option. I will definitely call on Erin for any future projects."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

Yes, most services include necessary frame modifications for proper door fitting. Confirm with your provider.

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.

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.
