Customers say: Quick response

"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!"

"Our popcorn ceiling in garage was split and falling down taking the garage door motors with it. These guys came in and removed the ceiling and garage motors and garage doors. So hardworking and prompt. We couldn’t ask for better service. Also had a ceiling fan replaced. We also have a very odd sized window that they will replace. There is nothing they can’t accomplish and it made for an excellent experience. Would definitely recommend using Steve Scott’s company for all your home repairs. I’ll try and post before and after photos. Again, you cannot go wrong going with Steve Scott’s company. We’re just so pleased. Deana Hervey, River North, Macon, GA [email protected]"

"Chris built steps for my new storage shed. He came to do the job when he said he would and accomplished the task for a very reasonable, fair price. He cleaned the work area before he left. I will certainly call him again when I need his skills around my house and recommend him to others with no reservations. He did a very professional job that pleased me very much."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.
