"Hunter & his team were very fast & professional. Replaced a 30 ft portion of a brick sea wall that was leaning and falling into the water. Excellent work. Can t tell anything was repaired. They also cut down a dead tree. They were super fast on both jobs. Very concerned about not leaving any mess. Did both jobs for a very reasonable price - did not take advantage of a woman & single mom. I would trust them to do any jobs that come up. Plan on getting them to build a covered enclosed patio this summer. So glad to have found these guys!"

"Steveâ s Quality Painting did an amazing job at my house. We just bought our house and was hesitant at 1st. We called multiple businesses and when we called Steve, he answered all my questions and concerns. Steve, my wife and I all discussed the ideas we had in mind and he confidently gave me feed back and made me comfortable to proceed. He's super friendly, positive, and a family man. In all, we completed our interior painting project. In summary, Steveâ s quality painting is your handyman expert. Steven and his team were kind hearted and professional and our home came out gorgeous! So call Steveâ s Quality Painting and he will work with you, we will definitely be getting in touch with Steve and his team for future projects."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.
