"Barefoot Painting did a great job with the iron fence at the entrance to our subdivision. They treated it and painted it and it now looks great! Their communication and customer service was also great. It was a pleasure to work with them!!"

"I cannot recommend Rolling Green Fence high enough. I would give them 10 stars if I could!! Absolutely stellar job - even better than I had hoped for. From the outstanding customer service I received when the owner, Buck, answered my first call, to the final cleanup when the job was through, every part of this job was of the highest quality. Not only was Buck incredibly responsive, his team completed my job in record time, with the greatest quality of any workers I have ever hired - bar none. My job was not standard. I needed an 8 foot wooden fence to be installed in a gully on the side of my yard to ensure privacy. Not only does the fence they installed look incredible, the team completely transformed the look of my yard by expertly aligning the adjoining fence - not even part of the original project - to almost completely eliminate the look of a fence moving down a slope. I watched the team - and a fantastic team they were - measure, align, run a level line, adjust, custom cut, and perfect each board in my fence. The supervisor worked mathematic equations on the wood, explaining to the others how he was making his calculations, and perfecting the job for me. I could not be more impressed. There is true pride in workmanship with this company and that is a rare trait to find in a contractor. Buck and his team really brought my vision to life in a big way and I cannot say enough about this amazing company. Well done, one and all!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

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.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects.
