"Trevor has been an amazing contractor who has helped us through the process of installing a large interior door for an office. He has helped ensure the space was properly prepared for installation of the door. The other contractors who have assisted Trevor have also exceeded my expectations. They have been extremely detail oriented and have done everything to ensure the best outcome. I would definitely work with Trevor for any future projects."
"Harrison and his crew were wonderful and helpful! We hired Harrison after a broad search for contractors and we found him to be the most professional and had fair pricing. We had a lot of work to be done, but he helped prioritize projects so as to not overwhelm our home during the construction! He was timely and communicated any pricing changes (materials have gone up - no fault to him) and made sure we were comfortable and in the loop on progress. Our new kitchen and bathroom are gorgeous and we’re thrilled with our service!"
"The Handy Duo was amazing from first contact. We were in a bind with a previous contractor that decks failed inspection miserably. The contractor was not able to be reached after multiple attempts in various avenues to correct the failures. The Handy Duo were thorough and educational in walking us through exactly what the failures were and why from a safety perspective. The Handy Duo also walked us through exactly what they would have to do to bring the decks up to code. The Handy Duo took every effort to preserve what they could to help us in our bind and ensure we were comfortable and confident in their ability to do the job effectively and efficiently. The Handy Duo under promised and truly over delivered in quality, communication, and timing. We will definitely be hiring them again for other jobs."
"I have over a dozen rental houses in the metro Atlanta area so I know good and bad contractors. These guys were excellent. Eddie came out when he said he would and crawled under the house and then came out and specifically told me what the problem was and how to fix it. I read people very well and could tell he knew what he was doing. Last thing I wanted was to hire someone who would cause me more problems as this was a very difficult fix. His crew came out on time every day and as important they themselves were very knowledgeable. Eddie said around 10-11 days and that is exactly the time they took. The crew was very courteous and cleaned up everyday before they left. I was so impressed I hired Eddie as the general contractor to replace the roof on the house and that work was just as good as the foundation repair. You should consider this company. "
"What a great experience. Jeff showed up on time and provided a quick and professional evaluation. He didn't try to push any unneeded repairs and told me straight out that I didn't require any of his services. Jeff did provide me with some great tips on water proofing my home and solid references for some local contractors. If you want the straight scoop, see Jeff first. "

"I'm not a big writer but have dealt with contractors for more than 35 yrs. Believe me I am probably not the easiest to please BUT had absolutely no problems. Courteous, professional and the quality seemed far better than the price we paid. I have other projects on the horizon and believe me Dustin will be getting my first call."
Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.
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.
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.
Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.
