"Great company! We had a bathroom remodel done to our master bathroom. Mack and his crew were phenomenal with the remodel. Great quality carpentry work along with great tile work. We converted our garden tub and shower to a walk in shower. They pay great attention to detail also. The price we were quoted was what we paid. Again, great company. We will definitely be using them in the future. Contact them directly +1 (706) 715-0439 - Juri"

"Devin did an awesome job! He showed up early before he told me he was gonna be here. He was very professional. He really took time to evaluate my roof and assess what needed to be done. Not only did he show up and show out, he went the extra mile by fixing holes in my roof that I didn’t even know were there! His sense of professionalism and courtesy is hard to come by in a small business owner. I will definitely be hiring him to work on more projects in my home in future. If you want quality work done at a fair price, call Devin!"

"We bought a cabinet that we needed put together and installed. Hendry Home Repair and Renovation got it done quickly and well done. Was the easiest person I’ve ever dealt with. Just left him alone and he had it done in a few hours. Would highly recommend."

"I have been dealing with contractors all my life in NY, NJ and PA. I bought 2 properties in Hartwell, GA which I did and still doing work on both. I hired Jeff for a small project in one of my houses and after I saw the type of work he did I was amazed with the dedication, professionalism and outstanding work he did. Long story short he is currently remodeling both of my homes and every day I get more and more impressed with his work. I highly recommend Jeff/ company to everyone looking for an excellent job from A to Z and peace of mind."

"We have used a good amount of companies before, and continued to get the same result; no communication, always above budget, and never within the time frame discussed. Trevor and his team were the exact opposite of this. We never had any issues with communication, price, or time. We also have three small children and our project was fairly large. Trevor and his team took great care to make sure our children were comfortable, and most importantly, safe. 10 out of 10 will absolutely hire again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

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.

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.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

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.
