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.

"Tony did an amazing job! He repaired and painted 3 arbors, replaced all of the rotted wood in our gazebo (which was most of the gazebo) and painted it. Built stairs, Installed wrought iron hand rails and stained deck. Built and installed a step in our garage and installed handrails to the basement. Assembled patio furniture. Installed a storm door. But, even more impressive, he looked at a completely rotted out garden bench that I absolutely loved and was able to totally duplicate it, incorporating the antique wrought iron that was in the original. What an amazing carpenter and overall handyman!!!! We are very impressed with his work and great attitude and look forward to working with him in future home improvement jobs. Thank you!!!!!"

"Their services were awesome! Detail oriented, great suggestions, eye for design and discussions to keep costs down. They were willing to make changes and work with the timeline efficiently. The custom kitchen was high end and the finished work was the envy of all. Work space was left clean ."

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

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. 

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.

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.

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.
