"Mr. KP is great at what he does and he does it with kindness and passion. The service is always exceptional.This is the second project he has done for me. He installed a patio extension for me about eight years ago and I am still enjoying it.This time I needed a driveway extension and I'm so glad I kept his number. His quote was the most reasonable and cost effective. He also went above and beyond by covering an existing area of my yard with dirt that was left damaged by a previous plumbing job. He also gave a solution for an area of my yard that was a fall hazard for my mother and didn't charge me for the extra duties. He and his team took pride and care in completing the driveway project and I am excited to once again be enjoying the finished project. I will definitely use Veza Properties for future projects."

"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]"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.
