Your Overall General Home Repairs and Maintenance needs. Everything from Furniture Repair, Home maintenance, Bathroom Renovations, Deck & Porch Repairs, Custom Patios, Walkways etc... I take pride in providing Quality work for a fair price. I started this business by just doing jobs for friends and word of mouth. I believe in treating every project as if it was my own home. I really enjoy meeting new people and helping to solve their needs. What sets me apart from others, is that I take pride in being honest and coming up with creative solutions if possible. I'm not going to upsell you just to make more money. Not everything needs to be rebuilt or replaced. Sometimes it just needs some TLC. I have officially been doing handyman work since 2017, but have been doing general home maintenance and construction my entire life.

"it was such a pleasant experience working with Tony. He arrived early and go.t right to work after discussing my needs and wants. I was surprised when I went to Angi and requested for a handyman to set up rods in my closet. Several companies emailed me and only wanted to design new closet space for me, when all I wanted was a handyman. Tony was the only real handyman who contacted me. I would refer ASAP handyman to all my friends and family."

State licensed residential contractor that has been in business for over 39 years. Lar/Con Construction is a family-owned business. Insured with General Liability and Worker's Compensation insurance. Set up to accept credit card payments.

"I couldn’t be happier with how my basement remodel turned out! From start to finish, the team was professional, communicative, and incredibly detail-oriented. They helped transform what used to be an ok man cave to a custom at home personal sports bar!! The craftsmanship is top-notch —lighting, and trim work are all flawless. They also stayed right on schedule and within budget, which is rare these days. I especially appreciated how they communicated and was not thrown off by the ongoing questions and changes that was thrown at them. Now we have a beautiful new living area that’s perfect for family gatherings and guests. I’d absolutely recommend this company to anyone looking to remodel their basement or any part of their home. Outstanding work! We will be giving them a call in a few months to remodel our master bathroom. Great guys not only as contractors but in general also made new friends!!! "

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

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.

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.
